ABSTRACT
The Comparative study of physical and virtual classes have both advantages and
disadvantages for every student. Going to school and attending classes is important for
every student. School is where they can acquire knowledge from different academic
grounds. Junior high school students spend about 8 hours of learning inside the school
campus. Although virtual/online classes have been implemented due to Covid-19 crisis,
students need to adjust their way of learning. Thus, researchers grab the opportunity to
conduct a research about it.
This study focuses on students preferred way of learning. This study utilizes a
correlational research design among grade 9 students that are enrolled in Ebenezer
Christian Academy Inc. Stratified random sampling technique was used to identify 30
respondents. Survey method was used to collect data from the respondents. Percentage
was used to determine the advantages and disadvantages of virtual/online classes than
face-to-face classes and vice versa; and the respondents preferred way of learning.
The majority of students prefer face-to-face classes over online classes. It is
revealed that face-to-face classes affect more positively the physical and mental health
of students. Also, students perform better during face-to-face classes rather than online
classes for several reasons such as unstable internet connection and lack of devices that
are necessary for the online class. The time they spent in front of their mobile devices
during virtual classes and activities is found to be an unhealthy routine.

CHAPTER I.
THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
INTRODUCTION
Physical Education is "education through the physical". It aims to cultivate
students’ physical competence and knowledge of movement and safety, and their ability
to use these to perform in a wide range of activities associated with the development of
an active and healthy lifestyle (Bureau, 2020). Online schools have virtual classes that
students can take from home or a library or a coffee shop or anywhere else that has an
Internet connection (Team, 2019). Amidst the covid 19’s pandemic, our department of
education still has ways for us to have classes not in physical, but online classes,
education nowadays are virtually meet. However, other students, mostly the ones who
lack the proper materials are having a bad time in school because they are experiencing
hardship to keep up to new normal schooling. Internet connections, equipment, pressure,
etc. are one of the many more problems of Students. Not only the students are having a
difficult time but also the teachers and staffs to the “new normal” schooling. Some of them
are working from home and some of them are working in school. Because it’s new normal,
both the teachers and staff have to follow the health etiquette on the way to school and
after work. They have to a wear face mask and face shield all day long, and they have to
sanitize their hands always. The outcome is likely to be severe due to the COVID-19
Pandemic.

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Schools has been in this World Since the 17th Century when in April 23 of 1635,
the first school was established in the soon to be United States of America Boston,
Massachusetts. Now as time went by learning standards changed back then a classroom
consisted with only one teacher and students from the Grades one to eight also
punishment was very common back then with the “dunce cap” being the most common
one. Now fast forward to the present, schools are now using the internet to their
advantage and as with COVID 19 ravaging the world, Online Classes and Learning
became the new Normal of schools. Though Online Classes may be a viable replacement
for the traditional Physical Classes, many people especially students still dislike the Idea
of Online Classes.
Online Classes and Learning is a Course Conducted over the Internet, they are
generally conducted through a learning management system, in which students can view
their courses syllabus and Academic Progress, and also communicate with their fellow
students and their teachers (Top Hat’s Glossary). Online Classes are usually taking in
Video Communication Platforms such as Google Meet and Zoom, sometimes you don’t
actually need to be in a Video Call with your Teacher or Peers, you just need to watch a
Video Presentation made by your Teachers. Physical Classes just like the Statement
before is “Education Through the Physical”, Physical Classes are usually taken in
Classrooms and it aim to cultivate students’ physical competence and knowledge.

But then if this System of learning much more Safe than the traditional Physical
Classes, Why is Online Classes still disliked by many people?, Well it all has to with the
fact that it is just too costly for many people due to the fact that so many people lost their
jobs due to the effects of COVID 19, for example the Average Cost of Internet here in the
Philippines is 2,812PHP per Month or roughly 60 USD Per Month(MoneyMax, 2020) that
is enough to buy Groceries for a Family of 4 for a Week not only that but Electronics such
as a PC or Laptop is not supported by the Government or the School meaning that you
also have to support yourself with Electronics that costs about 10 to 15 Thousand Pesos,
Online Classes has been also called as “Ineffective” by some, According to Ilona C. Kritz
(2020), The Philippines was not Ready for Online Classes due to the facts that almost
5000 Public Schools in remote areas nationwide does not have any Electricity yet and
only about 26% of Public Schools are connected to Internet or are able to connect to
Internet.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The study aims to understand better the comparison of physical and virtual class during
COVID-19 crisis.
Specifically, this research seeks to answer the following questions:
1. Will distance learning, online and virtual classes, be more advantageous to studies
rather than face-to-face learning?
2. What are the advantages of online learning/classes?
3. Do students prefer online or face-to-face learning/classes?

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The conclusion of the study will significantly benefit to students. It will provide
grade 9 students of Ebenezer Christian Academy Inc. to comprehend the advantages
and disadvantages of online learning and its importance. The difference between online
and face-to-face classes and ways of learning. Thus, students are able to adjust their time
management and schedule. At the end of this study, students will know what their
preferred way of learning is.
SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS
This study is focused on the comparison of physical and virtual classes. This
research proved data on initial attempt to integrate online modules in a traditional class,
moving toward the model of blended or online instruction. This study helps to identify
these concerns by assessing the positive and negative aspects of online learning from
the perspectives of students, instructors, and tenured faculty. Researchers will do a
survey question to gather the data needed.
DEFINITION OF TERMS
Online Class. Is a course conducted over the Internet. They are generally
conducted through learning management system, in which students can view their course
syllabus and academic progress, as well as communicate with fellow students and their
course instructor.

Virtual class. Refers to an online system that allows students and teachers to
communicate and collaborate.
Online Instruction. Refers to a course that is completely delivered virtually.
New Normal. Is a state to which an economy, society, etc. settles following a crisis,
when this differs from the situation that prevailed prior to the start of the crisis.

go to learn about topics such as reading, writing, and mathematics from a teacher. Most
of a student’s time will be spent in a classroom.
Learning. Is the process of acquiring new understanding, knowledge, behaviors,
skills, values, attitudes, and preferences. The ability to learn is possessed by humans,
animals, and some machines.

CHAPTER II.
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES
This chapter presents the relevant literature and studies that the researcher
considered in strengthening the claim and importance of the present study.
LOCAL LITERATURE
According to Patricia B. Arinto (January 2013) in keeping with the concept of
ODeL, which yokes together open learning, distance education, and e-learning, in this
chapter I review literature on course design in open and distance learning contexts, as
well as relevant research on online teaching in mixed mode or blended higher education.
Given the focus of the thesis, of particular interest to this literature review are studies on
the experience of teaching online from the perspective of university teachers, including
studies on conceptions of and approaches to teaching online, design for/in online
learning, and practitioner development in teaching online.
The presentation is in four sections. Sections 2.1 and 2.2 review literature that
is relevant to my first research question, namely: What pedagogical perspectives and
priorities underpin the faculty's use of Web tools and resources? Addressing this
question requires: 1) a description of the pedagogical use of Web tools and resources.
and 2) an examination of the pedagogical perspectives and priorities influencing such.
use. For the first task, I review some of the research on types of educational media.
and approaches to teaching with technology.

For the second task, I review studies on the pedagogical factors that higher
education faculty take into account when they teach with technologies. Section 2.3
includes work that is relevant to my second research question, namely, how does their
use of Web-based tools and resources impact the course design practices of these faculty
members? Following Price & Oliver (2007), I conceptualise 'impact' as 'change' and I
review research on how teaching with Web technologies may be changing how faculty
design their courses.
Section 2.4 contains literature related to the third research question, namely, what
are the issues and challenges in developing Web-based courses from the perspective of
these faculty members. The studies reviewed focus on perspectives on the
professional development and support needs of academics who are engaged in online
course design. The chapter is not exhaustive in the sense of covering all of the studies
conducted in these areas. Rather, what is presented is a synthesis of the theoretical
and empirical literature that informs this study's conceptual and analytic framework.
FOREIGN LITERATURE
According to Johnson, (1999) thus, promotive interaction between co-learners is
important for students’ learning from each other in such a way that individuals encourage
and facilitate the efforts of others to complete tasks so they can reach the group’s goals.

The common practices of the CL model do not merely include cooperation, but
additional elements, such as positive interdependence, individual accountability, face-to-
face promotive interaction (FtFPI), social skills, and group processing. All these elements
could together influence the students’ learning outcome and social gains. However, even
with this potential, the factors promoting cooperative interaction in terms of students’
FtFPI as a way of achieving successful CL remain unclear.
LOCAL STUDIES
According to Manuel (2020), Online class is not a new approach in the Philippines.
In fact, even when students are in school, the use of interactive media the way for
entertainment all while picking up on the focus of today’s lesson/s. But with the
coronavirus scare, online classes are being held for the main purpose of safety and
precaution.
If self-quarantine and social distancing are key factors towards lessening the
possibilities of the virus’ transmission, then rest assured both students and teachers are
protected within their homes. Besides, families do not have to worry about their family
members as they can be sure that everyone’s doing alright despite the on-going
schoolwork and discussions being held online.
Due to the nature of online classes—that is, not all students can go online at the
same time—its most likely teachers are more patient than usual. What’s more, some
teachers do not even require a video call, but instead upload files or video clips which

contain the activities to be submitted at a given time period. If there’s one thing we learned
from communication class is that communication itself can be disrupted by any form of
disturbances. Whether it’s a noisy atmosphere, your younger sibling constantly asking for
attention, or the current meme of mothers wanting their children to wash the dishes first
— the kinds of distraction for an online class are endless.
Let’s admit the fact that there really are individuals who could get away with
requirements asked by their professors. If distractions are endless, then so are the
reasons students could raise just to avoid trouble when it comes to submission of
paperwork and activities.
Technology really has gone far with online learning becoming one of the options
to continue interaction between learner and instructor. Still, it comes with the inevitable
balancing that of the advantages. This just paves the way for people to look closely at
different angles of taking up an online class just so it can be better improved in the future.
Whether you choose to participate in an online class, required to do it, or you made a
decision not to — this method of learning should be utilized well to permit an effective
teaching strategy to instructors, and a future towards their learners.

FOREIGN STUDIES
Online education has been studied and embraced at nearly every age level for
decades. Research shows us effective online learning results come from careful
consideration of how learning experiences are designed. Student engagement with the
content, with the instructor, and with peers are critical elements for a good course design.
Most effective course designs effectively involve the learner in both synchronous and
asynchronous components. Asynchronous online components offer anytime/anywhere
learning to the students, whereas, synchronous components are delivered live or in real-
time. Adding synchronous components to online courses can enrich meaningful
interactions. Such engagement gives students opportunities to collaborate with peers and
it allows teachers to clarify concepts and model for students.
RELATIONSHIP OF YOUR PREVIOUS STUDY TO YOUR RESEARCH
BENEFITS
The other modality, classroom teaching, is a well-established instructional medium
in which teaching form and structure have been refined over several centuries. Face-to-
face instruction has several benefits not found in its online counterpart (Xu and Jaggars,
2016).
First, and most importantly, classroom instruction is extremely dynamic. Traditional
class learning provides real-time face-to-face instruction and sparks innovative questions.
It also enables immediate teacher response and more flexible content delivery. Online

instruction dampens the learning procedure because students must reduce their
questions to blurbs, then grant the teacher and classmates time to respond (Salcedo,
2010).
Second, traditional classroom learning is a well-established modality. several
students are against to change and view online instruction negatively. These students
may be technophobes, comfier with sitting in a classroom taking notes than sitting at a
computer captivating data. Other students may value face-to-face relations, pre- and
post-class discussions, communal learning, and organic student-teacher bonding (Roval
and Jordan, 2004).
COST OF BOTH ONLINE AND PHYSICAL CLASSES
Tana Bishop of the University of Maryland University College said that this study
compared how much it cost the university to bid a large undergraduate course in online
versus traditional classroom format. Using an instructor time log, amounts were measured
by the time spent: 1) working with project staff, 2) planning the course, 3) preparing the
course for online delivery, 4) delivering the course, 5) interacting with students, 6)
evaluating student performance, and 7) training and supervising TA's. The findings from
this study showed that the instructor finished more time on the traditional course than the
online (112 hours compared to 107 hours, respectively) and that the overall cost per
student who passes the course is less for online courses ($99) than those face-to-face
($105).

ADVANTAGES OF ONLINE CLASS
There are fewer chances of students missing lessons since online classes can be
taken from home or any other places. All lectures and needed materials are provided via
online platforms, so you’ll easily access them from the comfort of your home. You will not
take public transport to get to campus, you won’t have to pay money on gas for your car,
you won’t have to get up early to get dressed for class, the list of conveniences goes on
and on. Comfort is a strong advantage, but it can go both ways. You mustn’t tolerate
yourself to get too comfortable when learning from home, so it would be best to abandon
the couch for few hours a day and set up an encouraging studying environment in your
home. All you need is a large desk and a nice, comfortable chair. Never end the
democracy of the school.
DISADVANTAGES OF ONLINE CLASSES
Another key challenge of online classes is internet connectivity. While internet
penetration has grown in leaps and bounds over the past few years, in smaller cities and
towns, a reliable connection with decent speed is an obstacle. Without a consistent
internet connection for students or teachers, there can be an absence of continuity in
education for the child. This is disadvantageous to the education process.

Theoretical Framework
To this point, I've defined the student-centered classroom and offered reasons for why it's
more than just a choice for making the online classroom a viable educational option.

In a physical classroom, the students’ needs to be able to see and hear the
other students, have a good view of the whiteboard and their own learning materials.
In a virtual classroom, a student can see and hear the teacher via the
video/audio stream, included video tapes of the live lectures as well as supplemental
material shared by both sections.
As you can see in the diagram, traditional textbook is used for the study of a
subject. People use textbook to learn facts and methods. Library Research, there are a
lot of option that can help you in the library like databases, journals and official
publications. Extracurricular, it is a channel for reinforcing the lessons learned in the
classroom, offering students to apply academic skills. Culture, it has a great impact the
way children participate in education. It also helps students how to use their own
strength and points of view to contribute in a diverse school environment. Web resources,
there's still nothing as reliable as the web when it comes to school classrooms. Given all
the free website out there, its just one click away to all the information you need.
While newsgroup, unlike e-mail, newsgroups can be read by anyone who view the group
that they are posted in. Problem-solving activities and evaluation: negotiable, its aim is
to find the best solution to the general problem. It is useful to separate the process of
developing options from that of deciding an option is the best solution. But, in order to
plan wisely for what works best in which part of the blended class, we must first
understand the differences—both advantages and disadvantages—between face-to-face
and online components of a program or course.

Researchers compared face-to-face and online learning using a number of
student-reported satisfaction metrics to claim their equivalency. In a physical classroom,
conversation takes place in a restricted setting. In order to draw a decision in a short
period of time, the teacher often leads and guides the focus of the discussion. Since time
is of the essence, answers must normally be formulated quickly. There may be some
discomfort about speaking in front of a class, but there is also the advantage of visual
cues from peers and the teacher.

Students have a better chance of developing well-thought-out, well-researched
discussion answers. The majority of the conversation engagement is mostly carried out
by the students, with the teacher serving as a facilitator and only interjecting when
necessary. The online discussion takes place over a longer period of time than in a typical
classroom (often more than a week), enabling all students in the class to participate and
draw conclusions together.

CHAPTER III.
METHODOLOGY
This chapter presents a description of the research design, subject of
study/population, variables and measure, research instruments, sampling
technique/design, data collection, and data analysis.
Research Design
This study has using a correlational method of research. Correlational study
attempts to determine the extent of relationship between two or more variables using
statistical data. It helps the researcher establish relationship between two closely
connected variable. This type of research is a nonexperimental research in which the
researcher measures two variable and assesses the statistical relationship with little
or no effort to control extraneous variable. The objective of correlational research is to
explain the relationship between variables and to evaluate the strength of the
relationship. Researchers are comparing the 2 types of learning which are Online
and Physical learning. What kind of education are more effective and more fun
learning. The researchers will make a survey for the Ecai’s grade 9 student’s about
their experiences in online classes and what type of learning do they prefer. The
students are innovating in this new kind of learning because of their first time
experiencing this, for now most students still prefer the physical classes since they
are used to it and because of the bondings with their classmates and teachers.

Subject of Study/Population
The respondents of this study are the Grade 9 High School students of Ebenezer
Christian Academy, Inc. (ECAI), City of San Jose Del Monte, Bulacan. The respondents
compose of sixteen (16) male and sixteen (16) female, with the total of thirty-two (32)
Grade 9 students.
Research Instrument
The instrument we use in our research is the questionnaire tool in order for the
researchers to gather information and data from the respondents and we use
questionnaire because it can be carried out face-to-face, cellphone, computer, or just by
posting it, like right now that were in a pandemic its very easy to gather some data online
and to protect also our health.
Survey Questions:
1. In which platform do you easily manage your time and schedule in studying?
(Online or Face-to-Face)
2. Which of the two study methods affect your physical and mental health more
positively? (Online or Face-to-Face)
3. Which of the two you find it easier to learn the lessons taught in the class? (Online
or Face-to-Face) and why?
4. Which of the two you find it more difficult to learn the lessons taught in the class?
(Online or Face-to-Face) and why?
5. What do you think is the advantages and disadvantages of online class?

6. Do you tend to be more stressed on school activities on virtual/online classes than
face-to-face classes? Why?
7. In having group activities with your classmates, which is easier for you to cooperate
and to finish the activities more quickly and efficiently? (Online or Face-to-Face)
8. How satisfied are you with the new method (online classes) of learning?
9. Is face-to-face class better than online/virtual class? Why?
10. Which method do you perform better? (Online or Face-to-Face)
Variables and Measure
The table below showed the variables and measure used in the study.
Variables Measure
1. Whether distance and online Questions about the respondent’s view and
learning be more advantageous to opinion about distance and online learning
studies rather than face-to-face being more advantageous to students’
learning. rather than face classes.
2. Advantages of online Questions with regards to the advantages
learning/classes. of online/classes.
3. Do students prefer online or face-to- Questions that would determine the

face learning/class. preferences of grade 9 Junior High School
students of Ebenezer Christian Academy
Inc. regarding to online and face-to-face
learning/ classes.

Sampling Technique/Design
The sampling technique/design used in the study is stratified random sampling in
determining the samples of the study, participants consisting of Grade 9 students of ECAI.
Data Collection
The researchers sent a letter to the grade 9 Junior high school students of ECAI
asking for their permission to be one of the respondents. Once the permission was
granted, the distribution of questionnaires was held right after the permission request from
the researchers.
The participating respondents were chosen based on their age, gender, and grade
level. The researchers presented a letter to the inform each respondent about the study
being conducted. The respondent that gave their permission to the researchers had an
online form questionnaire distributed to them.
Data Analysis
In this section, we will summarized everything we have gathered in the topic
surrounding online classes. So first, from our data is that we have used survey method in
the data collection as for our situation, it is both more sufficient and safer. Second, is the

used of frequency distribution in the collected data. Lastly, is the use of narrative analysis
as what we are doing right now is we are simplifying our method in a narrative style.

CHAPTER IV.
PRESENTATION, ANALYSIS, AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA
This chapter presents the interpretation of the results and its implications in relation
to the hypothesis.
DATA PRESENTATION
This chapter summarized the gathered data, assembled and presented in tabular
form for further analysis and interpretation. Essentially, the discussion focused on
the findings on the specific problems posited in Chapter 1.

Online/Virtual classes
90.9%
RQ1. Will distance learning, online and virtual classes, be more advantageous to
studies rather than face-to-face learning?

On this chart, it shows that 90.9%, which is equivalent to 30 respondents, say that face-
to-face learning will be more advantageous. Lastly, it shows that 9.1%, which is equivalent
to 2 respondents, say that distance learning, online and virtual classes is not
advantageous.
Advantages of online learning

60% Others
RQ2. What are the advantages of online learning/classes?
The product of this research shows that 60%, which is equivalent to 19
correspondents said that the main advantage of online learning is you can manage
your own time. Then it shows that 24%, equivalent to 8 correspondents said that it is good
because of homeschooling and low risk of getting covid19. While the 9%, equivalent to 3
correspondents said that they can spend more time with their families and they can self
study. And lastly the 7%, which is equivalent to 2 correspondents said others advantages
of having online learning.

18.8%
Prefer Face to face classes

Prefer Online classes
81.3%
RQ3. Do students prefer Online or Face-to-face learning/classes?
The outcome of this research shows that 81.3%, which is equivalent to 26
respondents, say that they prefer face-to-face classes. While the 18.8%, which is
equivalent to 6 respondents, say that they prefer online learning/classes.
ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION
The results showed that every respondent finds find-to-face classes more
accessible, as the teachers can explain the lessons clearly and more elaborately. It also
showed that the respondents perform better during face-to-face classes rather than online
classes for several reasons such as unstable internet connection and lack of electronic
devices that is necessary for online classes.

The results also revealed that face-to face classes affect more positively the
physical and mental health of the respondents.
Advantages of online classes presented are by staying at home, being able to
manage their time and having a flexible schedule to do personal and school activities and
attend to weekly synchronous classes.
On the other hand, Disadvantages of online classes were revealed to include
unstable internet connection resulting to them not able to understand the lessons
properly, and the time they spent in front of their mobile devices during virtual classes
and activities which is found to be an unhealthy routine.

CHAPTER V.
SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
This chapter presents the summary of findings, the conclusions made and the
recommendations offered.
SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
From all the gathered information and survey answers we have collected, here is
a short summarization of every survey. In every form, they always say that face-to-face
learning is just much more superior compare to the virtual learning style, they also like to
put into their answers that face-to-face learning is much better for mental stability and
health. One of the common things we notice in their responses is that face-to-face
learning is much easier than virtual learning because you can ask your peers and
teachers for help with things you don't understand much more freely.
Overall, is that most of their responses were majorly negative on online classes
and want the old traditional style learning method rather than the new and sophisticated
style of learning.
CONCLUSION
This research study the Comparison of Physical and Virtual/Online classes
during the COVID-19 crisis. Primary data was gathered through the distribution of
survey questionnaires to 32 respondents. As stated earlier in the introduction, the

purpose of this study was to determine what students prefer and whether online classes
are more beneficial than face-to-face classes. The majority of students prefer face-to-
face classes over online classes, which leads to the following conclusions. First, they
find it more difficult to learn the lessons taught in the classroom in online classes, and
they prefer to do school activities or group activities in the classroom. Lastly, the online
class has a negative impact on some students who have internet problems, are unable
to concentrate in class due to numerous distractions, and by looking for too long in front
of their mobile devices. The result of this study indicates that face-to-face classes are
more preferred by students, and according to our survey, most students prefer face-to-
face classes because they can focus better, manage their time better, enjoy learning
more, and will not stare at the monitor for too long.
RECOMMENDATION
The following are the proposed recommendation for this study:
1. Students. It is to comprehend the advantages and disadvantages of online learning
and its importance. The difference between online and face-to-face classes and
ways of learning.
2. Parents. To know which type of learning is most effective for their child.
3. Teachers. In order for them to determine whether their students are having
difficulty learning through distance learning or face-to-face learning.
