Abstract

The study determined the students’ adaptability challenges on online learning. It specifically identified the profile of the respondents in terms of age, sex, socio-economic status, educational attainment of the respondents’ parents and the campus they belong.  It also identified the academic performance of the student-respondents. Furthermore, it determined the problems faced by the students during online class along geographical location, adaptability struggle, technical issues, computer literacy, time management and self-motivation. Descriptive correlation design was utilized.  Pearson-R correlation was used to determine the relationship of the respondents’ profile and their academic performance and ANOVA was used to compare the problems faced by the students during online when grouped according to campus. Students' motivation also has an impact on their academic performance since they fall behind and are more likely to entertain the notion of quitting up as a result of the difficulties associated with navigating a technical medium during an online class that appears insurmountable. They are less driven to keep up with current educational trends, and they are not well prepared to face the problems of the future. They experienced burnout when taking online classes, and they were unable to comprehend online lectures because they were not sufficiently motivated to participate in online courses.
