Author(s) Alvin B. Badong

Abstract This study phenomenological explored the perceptions and challenges of second-year Bachelor of Technical Vocational Teacher Education (BTVTED) Fish Processing students at Camarines Sur Polytechnic Colleges-Nabua during online learning amid the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aimed to answer two central questions: (1) What are the students' perceptions of online classes? and (2) What challenges did they encounter during online learning? Additionally, three sub-questions were explored: (1) How do students handle these difficulties while taking online classes? (2) What do students perceive as the positive effects of online classes on their development? and (3) What teaching approaches could teachers adopt in online learning to address these challenges? A qualitative research design was employed, utilizing Colaizzi's descriptive method to analyze participants’ experiences. Thirty purposively selected students participated in online interviews. The study revealed that students found online classes challenging and unconventional, with compromised education quality and difficulties understanding topics due to a lack of interactive engagement. Identified challenges included limited access to resources, unstable internet connectivity, power interruptions, weather disruptions, and a lack of motivation. Students developed coping mechanisms such as time management, prioritizing tasks, staying motivated, and avoiding distractions. The positive effects of online classes included flexibility, reduced travel expenses, and increased time for family and personal tasks. The study emphasized the need for teachers to adopt more engaging and interactive teaching approaches and recommended addressing resource availability and improving internet infrastructure to alleviate students' difficulties and ensure effective online learning experiences.
