INTRODUCTION
Rationale:
education paradigm was evaluated in this study. Revision and compilation of China's College
examined in this essay. The study derives the subsequent conclusions by employing a sample of
640 freshmen (from more than 30 colleges) and accounting for the three factors of gender, major,
and origin. Although there were some notable outliers, most freshmen were adept at adapting. In
terms of major, there are no appreciable disparities; in terms of gender, there are differences in
physiology and psychology between males and girls; and in terms of the students' countries of
origin, there were some notable deviations. ( Huaruo Chen, Ling Ling, Yonghui Ma, Ya Wen,
In the Philippines, low academic adjustment of college students of result to poor academic
achievement (Alipio, 2020; Calaguas, 2011). It was found out in the study of Hernandez (2017)
that first year students from the selected higher-education institutions in Calapan City have poor
social adjustment. They can easily adjust to college life in terms of academic and emotional as well
as being attached to their institution but it takes them a while to be socially adjusted (Alipio, 2020).
The researcher recommends that the guidance counsellors of higher education institutions may
create a guidance program specifically designed for first year college students. This program may
include seminar, workshop, psychological testing and counselling that aims to facilitate their
transition and adjustment to college, as well as the enhancement of self-esteem. It also addresses
The issues stated above are clearly present among Colegio de Kidapawan students,
particularly among those who are first-year college students. It is extremely difficult for students,
especially those getting ready to go to college, to transition from traditional face-to-face instruction
to distant learning via modular distance learning and online distance learning. The criminology
professors observe certain adjustments in the first year students’ behaviour. As such, according to
Alvin Tugon, LPT, the instructor in criminology department, states that the participation of the
students in online classes is generally low, while in face-to-face classes they engage more in class
because they are being monitored by their instuctors. Cherry Mae B. Tobias, one of the first year
criminology instuctors, also states that the sudden transition from online class to face-to-face
class affects the students adjustment behaviour, due to the fact that some of the students are
having a hard time catching up in their academics. Also, they must communicate with their
As a result, this study is carried out to determine whether the academic performance of first-
year college students in criminology is affected by their adaptation to the new learning environment
in Colegio de Kidapawan.
Research Objectives
The study’s overall goal was to help students navigate times of novelty, variability, and
1. Determine how students can easily adjust due to changing circumstances/new normal.
2. Examines the advantages and disadvantages of new learning system in terms of student’s
academic performance.
