Problem statement
What are the positive and negative effects that remote learning has on the

Students of Open Bible High School?

3 | Page
Reason for choosing this topic

The topic remote learning was chosen to investigate how online schooling has

Impacted students. During the pandemic, there were no physical school,

Because of this a agreement had been made that there would be school over

the internet. Everyone has a different opinion on how remote learning has

Affected them and we intend to gather enough information to decide if remote

Learning had a more positive or negative effect.

Method of investigation

In order to obtain the necessary information to proceed with this SBA, I chose

To send out a Questionnaire to approximately 52 people form Open Bible. This

Method is faster and more convenient considering it will save time and money.

The questionnaire would be made on Google forms.

Procedure for data collection

The Instrument used was electronic questioners. The questioners had

Nineteen (19) questions required to retrieve the information. There were

Fifteen (15) closed ended questions and four (4) open ended questions.

Sixty (60) questioners were electronically distributed anonymously to

Students of the Open Bible school body. With all ages ranging with

Thirteen (13) to seventeen (17). The research with the assistance of

Another member of the group collected the data. Students who attend

Emergency remote learning or online schooling was used to collect the

Of March 2 to March 4. The data was collected from students of Open

Bible High School. The researcher along with the assistant distributed

the links to the online questionnaire, which was then collected through

the application used. This procedure was used to gather all the relative

information needed.

Presentation of data

A total of questionnaires were distributed to students of age 12-14, 15-17, and

18-20

Figure 1: The majority of the students were 15-17 and the least number of and

the least number of students were 18-20

Figure 2: A pie chart showing how much of the students were in forming 1-3 and

4-5

11 | Page
Figure 2 shows that the large majority of students are between the forms of 4-

5, this suggests that we should get a greater input of data regarding our topic

Figure 3: A column chart showing how much students attend their zoom online

Sessions

12 | Page
Figure 3 shows that the majority of students joined the online zoom class

Whereas the least number would go to the students that didn’t, so we know

The majority of students attended online class to learn something

Figure 4: A horizontal bar that shows if students feel depressed and stressed

About online classes

Figure 4 shows how unfortunate that most of the students that attend online

Classes are becoming stressed and even depressed, which means that maybe

The online classes are even worse than and physical classes

Figure 5: A pie chart showing the opinions from students one whether they

Prefer psychical or online school

In figure 5 a large majority of students rather physical school over online

School, maybe due to the stress of online school they rather physical school

Analysis of interpretation of data

In doing my survey/questionnaire at open bible high school which is a mixture

Of males and females. The information that was gathered states that 75% of

The students belong to the form 4& 5 classes while 25% belongs to the form 1-3

Classes. Most of the students also stated that they prefer physical

School (76.9%) to online school (23.1%).

The age group of people who answered the questions ranged from 12 to 20

Students. The highest number of respondents came from age bracket 16-17 at

67.3%, the second highest from 12-14 at 17.3% and the lowest from 17-18 at

15.4%. It is know that students ages 12-17 collected and answered the

Questionnaire more than student age 18-20.

Figure 3 shows that the majority of students choose yes which means that

They joined all of their classes, a few chose sometimes which means that they

Would have missed a couple of classes and very few chose no which means

They did' t attend any online classes.

Figure 4 shows that the majority of students choose yes which means that

They were stressed and depressed about online school, a few chose sometimes

Which means they had moments when they would get those feelings and the

Least number of students chose no which means they were fortunate to not

Experience those emotions during the online school

Statement of finding

The main reason for the increasing level of students not attending online

Classes in open bible high school is because of internet connectivity and lack of

Devices which accounts to 59 %.

The main problem that the students of open bible high school are faced with

When using remote learning is having problems navigating the internet and

Using emails for online classes which accounts to 75%.

In order to reduce the problem faced by students of the open bible high school

76.9% of the students stated that the reopening of physical would be

Surpassed. For a better concentration in the class room without the lack of

Internet connectivity.

Recommendations and implementation strategies

After analysing the data collected from the questionnaire, the researchers are

Now making the following recommendations to assist students with the lack of

Devices and the internet connectivity issues.

Firstly, the researcher recommends that the school allow students without

Device and internet connection to enter the compound and use the devices

That was provided by the government. Teachers can take turns with

Supervision of the students in the I.T lab. This justification is likely to work

Because the students would be able to join classes.

After analysing the data collected from the questionnaire, the researchers are

Now making the following recommendations for the students who are finding

It difficult navigating the internet and using emails.

The researcher recommends that the teachers all decide on one platform

To which they would like to use for online classes and the submission on work.

In this way, students wouldn’t have to use zoom, Google meets, Google

Classroom, Gmail and What’s app. If the teachers decided that they would only

Use Google Classroom, this is likely to work because students can also

Communicate with teachers via this app. This would cause less complications.
