Abstract:
The practice of conducting extension programs is very common and significantly important among State Universities and Colleges; however, the onset and prevalence of the COVID-19 global pandemic have left extensionists with dire situations, burdensome challenges, and negative outcomes. The purpose of this study is to investigate and determine the levels of participation, the challenges met, and the appreciation of faculty members during the implementation of extension projects amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, which would then result in the framing of initiatives for the efficient delivery of services in the new normal regarding extensions programs. After gathering responses from the NEMSU faculty as study participants, the researchers tabulated the results, and the research findings revealed the following: a.) the levels of participation of the factory are promising signs and very high; b.) the challenges met by the faculty are range between moderate and very high; and c.) the level of appreciation towards extension projects is extremely high. Moreover, using statistical treatment tools for analyzing significant correlations, the researchers rejected the two null hypotheses, and the results revealed the following: there was a positive correlation between the level of participation to the challenges met by the faculty and between the level of participation to the level of appreciation of the faculty to the extension projects.
