The Problem and Its Background

Introduction

Humanities and Social Science can help you see what's going on in our society.

The word "HUMANISTA" will be used to describe those who will be participating

in the HUMSS strand. The study of human behavior and interaction in social,

cultural, environmental, economic, and political contexts falls under the umbrella

of humanities and social sciences. This strand will assist you in improving your

speaking abilities. Humanista excels at debating since this strand is littered with

them. As a HUMSS student, I strongly advise you to pursue this strand because

it will raise your trust and allow you to showcase your secret talents. But how

does educational institution can provide a great Humanista, a great servant or

even how does school can give a good quality of learning in the midst of

pandemic.

Humanities and Social Sciences student are known for being well in terms of

communication skills, but now that the world is facing pandemic how does the

development of communication skills change. Technologies is the platform of

education in this time where the there is no face to face class in the way of

learning is through educational application such as Google Meet, Google

Page | 6
GOLDEN SUCCESS COLLEGE - MANILA

Classroom, Zoom and also text lectures. The way of learning in the midst of

pandemic lessen the quality of education specially for those students who is

modular learner and taking the strand of Humanities and Social Sciences strand,

how those students can develop the things needed to develop like

communication skills and how this new learning system change the way of

Humanities and Social Sciences student on learning things.

The new

effect of this new learning system is a struggle to all of of the strudents around

the world. This research is all about the Effect of the New Learning System to

Humanities and Social Sciences Modular Learner Communication Skills, In this

chapter the researchers will focus to introduce the issue that the researchers

wants to study and to know the opinions of the students who is affected to this

issue. This will give show the problems that the researchers wants to give an

answer, this also show where will this study take place and who are the people

will be involve in this study and also this part will showcase what the researches

want to aim upon doing this rearch.

Year

2019 up until now, pandemic outbreak affects everyone in all aspects. Due to

this, learning system in education must have a change in which students only

meet their professors online and the information and knowledge needed by the

student will get in modules that will issued. Many student says that traditional

Page | 7
GOLDEN SUCCESS COLLEGE - MANILA

learning system is more better than the new learning system because the source

of knowledge of students will gather are from the teachers unlike in the this new

learning system that the only place to gather information is through online. As of

today, many students struggles in the new learning system not just physically but

also emotionally and mentally. It clearly shows that the mental health of every

students are also affected due to this matter. There are a number of issues

related to online classes and the quality of learning is lessen because of the

barrier given by the new learning system. Any teaching, learning and assessment

solution must be aware of this fact. Learners doing well often have a good level

of independent learning and high levels of communication skills which can be get

if both sides is responsible and capable to cope the new ways of learning. On the

other hand not everyone has a same learning styles so it is needed to give extra

focus specially to those students who is having a hard time in this time.

Statement of the Problem

The researchers’ aims to answer the following questions regarding to their

study entitled, ’’ Effect of the New Learning System to Humanities and Social

Sciences Modular Learner Communication Skills’’.

1. What are the ways of Humanities and Social Sciences modular learner to

improve their communication skills while in the new learning system?

2. How does new learning system affects the Humanities and Social Sciences

modular learner communication skills?

Page | 8
GOLDEN SUCCESS COLLEGE - MANILA

3. What are the changes that a Humanities and Social Sciences modular learner

experience while studying in the new learning system?

4. What are the challenges that the Humanities and Social Sciences modular

learner

faces during new learning system that involves in communication skills?

5. How important for a Humanities and Social Sciences modular learner to

improve their communication skills?

Theoretical Framework

The

researchers harbored this study on the following theories. The following theories

helped the researchers to aim their objectives about The Effect of The New

Learning System to Humanities and Social Sciences Modular Learners

Communication Skills The Triarchic Theory of Intellectual Abilities. According to

the Theory of Intellectual Abilities (Sternberg, 1985; 1986:23), three kinds of

intellectual abilities exist, namely analytical, creative, and practical abilities.

Analytical or componential intelligence includes academic tasks, critical thinking

capacities, and dynamic thinking. Creative Intelligence or, also known as

experimental intelligence, is flexible with new knowledge and new task. Creative

Intelligence is also an ability of a person to apply its existing knowledge to current

Page | 9
GOLDEN SUCCESS COLLEGE - MANILA

problems, aside from that, creative intelligence has two (2) types: Novelty and

automatization. Novelty concerns how an individual responds when they

experience something new. Automatization concerns how an individual figure out

to perform repetitive tasks naturally. It identifies practical intelligence as to how

individuals respond to their current circumstances and can adjust to it and

capable to deal with reality. A person who has this practical intelligence is difficult

to take advantage of. Measures of abilities focus mainly on analytical abilities,

whereas all three types of abilities need to be regarded as equally important.

Research by Sternberg (1997b:24) showed that: The more we teach and assess

students based on a broader set of abilities, the more racially, ethnically, and

socioeconomically diverse our achievers will be.

The Theory of Mental Self-Government. Sternberg developed the Mental

SelfGovernment learning hypothesis in 1994. It is an idea of intelligence that

likens to mixes of individual inclinations from three levels of Mental Self-

Government. These three levels relate to: Functions of Governments of the Mind

which includes Legislative (making, arranging, envisioning, and detailing),

Executive (actualizing and doing), and Judicial (judging, assessing, and

contrasting). Stylistic Preferences Includes Internal (Like to be by themselves)

External (Like to collaborate and work in groups. And lastly, Forms of Mental

Self-Government, includes Monarchic (These people perform best when goals

are singular. They deal best with one goal or need at a time) Hierarchic (these

people can focus on multiple goals at once and recognize that all goals cannot
Page | 10
GOLDEN SUCCESS COLLEGE - MANILA

be fulfilled equally. These people can prioritize goals easily), Oligarchic )These

people deal well with goals that are of equal weight, but they have difficulty

prioritizing goals of different weight) Anarchic (These people depart from form

and precedent. Often they don't like or understand the need for rules and

regulations. They operate without rules or structure, creating their problem-

solving techniques with insights that often easily break existing mindsets). The

point of this theory is that each student has their way of learning or

selfgovernment, but still they were taught by just one teacher that has different

selfgovernment. Furthermore, research by Sternberg emphasizes that students'

learning and thinking styles(Sternberg, 1997a) (which are usually ignored),

together with their ability levels, play an important role in student performance

(Sternberg, 1992:134; 1994:36-40; Sternberg and Grigorenko, 1997:295). The

Theory of Mental Self-Government refers to an inventory of different thinking

styles that shows people's preference for thinking patterns.

Where

the Triarchic Theory focuses on the ability itself, the theory of Mental

SelfGovernment refers to different thinking styles which makes up the preference

in using abilities (Sternberg, 1990:366-371). In light of the above theories, this

study adopted the theory of mental self-government as the most appropriate one

in enhancing students 'academic performance at UNZA main campus. The

reason is that the learning and thinking styles of students at the campus can

either be reinforced, leading to excellent academic performance or hindered

Page | 11
GOLDEN SUCCESS COLLEGE - MANILA

leading to poor academic performance. This is heavily contingent upon the

availability and provision of several essential facilities such as excellent study

materials, accommodation, conducive learning environment (lecture theatres),

good water, and sanitation facilities among others. These being available and in

the provision, students' potential abilities to be analytical, creative, and practical

as described in Triarchic theory also become reinforced.

Conceptual Framework

Scope and Limitations

This

study focuses on the Effect of the New Learning System to Humanities and

Social Sciences Modular Learner Communication Skills. It revolves to the issue

of the new learning system to the students communication skills and how this

way of learning change the quality of learning does a student have when using

the traditional way of learning.

This

study is for the Grade 11 and Grade 12 students of Golden Success College

Manila who is taking a strand of Humanities and Social Sciences who choose the

modular modality in the school year 2020-2021.

Significance of the Study

Page | 12
GOLDEN SUCCESS COLLEGE - MANILA

This study will focus to the topic of the “Effect of The New Learning

System to Humanities and Social Sciences Modular Learners Communication

Skills”.

Benefiting the study are the various sectors as follows To the students,

the direct recipients of the output of this research are the Humanities amd Social

Sciences students who's learning communication skills. Any improvement of

classroom management techniques can pave the way of producing learning and

discipline.

To the parents, As parents enrolled their children in this institution,

comes with self-assurance that their children are given more education that

would make them a functional individual and also to improve their communication

skills.

To the teachers, this study will be very beneficial to the teachers who's

teaching a humss strand and communication teachers, especially to the teachers

who are still newbie in the teaching profession. Through this research, teacher

may purposefully discover how classroom management is conductive to learning.

To the future researchers, this research will be useful reference for the

researchers who would plan to make any related study precisely “The Effect of

the New Learning System to Humanities and Social Sciences Modular Learners

Communication Skills”. This study will serve as a reference and good source to

them. This will be a guide for the further research and also can help them in

CHAPTER 2

REVIEW OF LITERATURE AND STUDIES

This

chapter contain some studies that helps to give supoort the topic chosen by the

researchers where it focuses on the Effect of The New Learning System to

Humanities and Social Sciences Modular Learners Communication Skills to

prove that the certain issue in this research is existing in this time where the

students uses technology as a solution to the educational problem cause by the

pandemic that the society facing in this time Students Motivation

Blended Learning

According to the article writtin by Alpala (2011), Due to its dual component,

which blends face-to-face sessions with virtual learning in order to offer students

a wide choice of materials and resources structured in a systematic way, blended

learning has become one of the most frequent approaches to teach EFL (English

as a Foreign Language). Because new technologies have been implemented and

Page | 15
GOLDEN SUCCESS COLLEGE - MANILA

teachers have to suggest new ways of working to showcase resources that

complement EFL Face-to-Face lessons, teachers and students have changed

the way this educational process is viewed throughout time. However, in order to

be built, a Blended Course must have a pedagogical foundation for each context

where it is designed. This article aims to describe various integrative Blended

Learning components and how they've been used in different studies were

conducted circumstances, as well as some considerations to keep in mind when

building, implementing, and assessing this model. Furthermore, it encourages

teachers to consider Blended Studying (BL) as a potential and innovative

approach to learning EFL, utilizing all developing pedagogical technologies.

Positive and Negative Effect of New Learning System

According to Alawamleh, M. (2020), The traditional learning is a way of learning

uses for many years it is a learning where the presence of the teacher and a

student is connected in real time which make easy for the student to learn

properly and it is easy for them to develop the communication skills that the

students have because the instructor managed to teach linear method to the

student that gives more focus to the students while online learning is way of

learning uses technologies because of the pandemic it is a way of learning that

unbounded and dynamic, it uses asynchronous communication and a real-time

information however this way of learning is not applicable for all the students in

Page | 16
GOLDEN SUCCESS COLLEGE - MANILA

this time. Online learning has a postive and negative effects to the quality of

learning that a student can adopt. Positive effect of online learning is it enhances

the understanding of a student, it reduces the failure of the students, it will show

the versatility of a student in participation to a class and the accessibility to the

information needed by the student while studying the reason why it is more

convenience while the negative effect of it is, it limits the interaction of the

students to other people where they can't able to improve the skills, the learning

process is using applications and also text base lectures that makes more

complicated to learn and lastly it is not applicable for all the students and this is

the reason why the skills of the students is not improving too much unlike

tradional learning.

Communication Skills Development in New Learning System

Based to

the article written by Alawamleh, M. (2020), The development of the

communication skills of a student depends on the instructor. An instructor has a

role to be an effective comminicator and that will be adopt by the student who

interact with instructor and in this way the efficiency of the communucation skills

of a student will be higher than expected. Most of the people define online

learning as a solution to the educational problem that the student facing and it is

a way in accessing technologies to become flexible in participation in a class and

this way is more convenient than before. However the people who experience

Page | 17
GOLDEN SUCCESS COLLEGE - MANILA

online learning which are the students idenfy the issues that online learning has

problems where there are students who left behind in this new learning system

and the communication skills are not improving because online learning uses a

non-verbal communucation for the modular learnerns which is hard for the

student to develop the skill that they needed to develop so that online learning is

a faceless way of study where if it is not use properly there are misunderstanding

and it could turn negative in the eyes of the people who experience it.

Distance Education

In an

article written by Dodd, A. (2009), Rapid advancement in information technology

has had an effect on how education is delivered and experienced. The effect of

online education on students' success and persistence in their first year of

university was investigated using archival data. The findings of this study indicate

that first-year university success and persistence vary substantially between

students who have had prior online education experiences and those who have

not.

Education in geographically isolated and scattered rural areas has long been a

source of consternation for educational policymakers in Canada and around the

world. Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada's easternmost province, has a

population of approximately 505,000 people, with around half of them living in

Page | 18
GOLDEN SUCCESS COLLEGE - MANILA

rural settlements. Almost two-thirds of the province's 285 public schools were

located in rural areas during the 2006-2007 school year (Newfoundland and

Labrador, 2006; 2007). Surprisingly, about a third of the province's public schools

are designated as "necessarily existent" – they can't be closed because the

distance to the nearest school is too great School by bus is too far away to be

practical, particularly in bad weather. In the past, schools in the province's most

remote areas struggled to attract and maintain trained teachers with the

necessary subject matter skills, making it impossible for some rural schools to

have a full range of course choices (Crocker & Riggs, 1979; House, 1986; Riggs,

1987; Crocker, 1989). This problem has gotten worse in recent years. The aim of

the study was to look at one approach that has been used to solve this issue,

and how that solution – distance e-learning – has impacted subsequent student

performance and achievement.Newfoundland and Labrador has seen rapid

urbanization and outmigration over the last quarter-century as a result of drastic

changes in labor market conditions in the province's resource-based industries

(e.g., fisheries, oil). Many of the province's geographically scattered rural

communities have seen their populations decline due to demographic changes

and shifting age structures (Galway & Dibbon, 2008).

increasing number of rural high school graduates in the province have completed

a portion of their schooling in non-traditional classroom settings such as on-line

learning environments. These graduates make up a small percentage (less than

Page | 19
GOLDEN SUCCESS COLLEGE - MANILA

15%) of the first-year student population at Memorial University of Newfoundland,

the province's university. Although post-secondary student persistence theories

have looked into the effects of student context characteristics, none have

considered the impact of prior on-line distance course experience on post-

secondary student outcomes.

CHAPTER 3

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Research Design

The

main purpose of the study is to find out the “The Effect of the New Learning

System to Humanities and Social Sciences Modular Learner Communication

Skills” inside Golden Success College- Manila Branh using qualitative research

to accomplish this aim, a descriptive research was conducted As defined by

McCombes (2020), descriptive research can answer questions like what, where,

when, and how, but not why questions. Its main goal is to understand the

population, situatuin, or phenomenon accurately and systematically. This design

was found suitable because the study deals with ascertaining the new learning

system of the Golden Succes College students.
