Abstract:
The primary purpose of this study is to determine the challenges encountered by the students in conducting virtual laboratories in physics in connection to their profiles, if their academic performance is affected by these challenges, and if there is a significant relationship between the challenges they encounter and their academic performance in terms of the given variables from Caraga State University, Amazon, Butuan City. A descriptive-correlational research design was used in this study and was conducted among 3rd year BSEd Science College students of the said university. Simple random sampling was applied upon selecting the participants, who were given a survey questionnaire through Google form as the research instrument. The gathered data were then tallied, analyzed, and interpreted. It was found that the identified challenges, in general, were described as somewhat challenging. In addition, the results also revealed that the major challenge encountered by the participants was mainly because of the distraction brought by social media and other websites. And the underlying problems were the gadgets they used and internet connectivity, which includes cell phones and mobile data. Also, it was found that the challenges they encountered had a positive relationship with their academic performance, although it did not warrant a significant relationship. Thus, an enrichment program is suggested in the latter part of this paper.
