Stronger than the Internet Connectivity: A Phenomenology
Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2022, Vol 2, Issue 6
Abstract
Internet connectivity becomes the life of every student in the Higher Education Institutions (HEI) when the educational sector was affected by the pandemic. Every college student desires to have stable internet connectivity in order to sustain education despite the different challenges. This study aims to explicate the student's experiences in a blended learning modality having poor internet connectivity. This paper is grounded on Theory of Attribution, which highlighted the factors affecting students' education in online learning, which was started by Fritz Heider on his works in 1958. The study employed a qualitative approach that utilizes Heideggerian Phenomenology and Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) anchored on the Modified Van Kaam Approach popularized by Moustakas. There were 10 participants included in this study who qualified under the inclusion criteria using purposive sampling. The findings of the study enumerated 5 emerging themes: (1) The Resources, (2) The Usage, (3) The Impediment, (4) The Initiative, and (5) The End Results. These themes highlighted Cebu Technological University - Moalboal Campus college students' experiences with poor internet connectivity in the new online learning modality. It is recommended that since the internet serves as a potent instrument for online learning, the university may create a management plan that can augment the unstable internet connection experienced by college students.
