Abstract:

Schooling, specifically the teaching and learning process, is progressing and transforming fast. Updated ideas and innovations in the methods of education are emerging. This became more evident with technology. However, more challenges emerged when educational systems throughout the globe at all levels met a collapse when lockdowns were announced due to COVID-19. This pivotal event urged them to implement online teaching and learning as an alternative to face-to-face modality to continuously thrive academically despite mobility issues. This study ascertained the extent of implementation of the Six C’s of Education in the online teaching and learning performance of the Higher School ng UMak faculty and students. It represents a particular educational attribute that is expected to be acquired by the learner through the teaching and facilitation of the teacher. The following are the 6C’s of education: 1. Thinking critically; 2. Communicating clearly; 3. Working collaboratively; 4. Embracing culture; 5. Developing creativity; and 6. Utilizing connectivity. These queries were answered in the study: (1) length of stay in the university and department, the track or strand of students, subject taught, and grade level; (2) extent of respondents’ assessment on the implementation of Six C’s of Education in online teaching and learning; (3) potential presence of a significant difference in the assessment of the groups of respondents about the extent of implementation of the said Six C’s. This action research utilized Purposive sampling and t-test for independent means to compare the mean scores. The researchers concluded that the Six Cs of Education are highly implemented in online teaching and learning. These educational attributes are present and continuously developing despite the online world challenges. It is then recommended to use teaching methods that allow students to experience an authentic, engaging, and challenging situation that will permit them to explore their passion in the likes of project-based learning.
