Abstract:

COVID-19 has brought challenges to education globally, resulting in a drastic shift from in-person classes to online learning, affecting students, teachers, and parents. The descriptive-correlational research aimed to describe, explore, and interpret students’ attitudes, time management, and technostress under online learning and its relationships to the performance of elementary students. The research was conducted in one of the Elementary Schools in Camiguin Province. The research utilized one survey questionnaire with four sections: profile, attitude, time management, and technostress. The data were gathered through google forms, and the link was provided through Facebook messenger. Descriptive statistics (frequency counts, percentages, and means) were used to present the respondents’ profile, attitude, time management, technostress, and academic performance. On the other hand, the inferential questions on difference were answered using T-test and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), while Pearson- R correlation was used to test relationships. The outcome emerged that technostress, attitude, and time management of elementary students affect their academic performance during online learning. Therefore, it is concluded that students with good/favorable attitudes and time management have lesser technostress and high academic performance. However, the use of technology has caused extreme stress to elementary students considering that online learning modality is a new concept for them. It was recommended that the administrator and teachers incorporate/include technology learning activities in the curriculum by providing computers or laptops and online lessons to elementary students to learn the basic computer/technology skills to keep them abreast of the demands of space and time.
