ABSTRACT
The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) advised institutions of higher education
in the Philippines to implement distance learning education methods for its classes, such as the
use of educational technology, to maximize the academic term despite the suspension in line with
the public health emergency measures issued. The outbreak of COVID-19 results in the digital
revolution in the higher education system through online lectures, teleconferencing, digital open
books, online examination, and interaction at virtual environments (Strielkowski, 2020). Students
with different goals, motivations, and preferences can exhibit different behaviors when accessing
this material. Thus, these behavioral differences can further affect their learning performance.
This study sought to determine the extent of implementation of E-learning, the state of the
students’ mental well being and academic performance of students during the pandemic.
Descriptive-correlation research design was used in this study to assess feedback from the
respondents in data gathered through Google Form. The 100 respondents were drawn from the
third-year students enrolled in different programs of Olivarez College-Tagaytay. The researchers
utilized a self-report survey questionnaire to obtain the information needed for the study. Mean
and Pearson’s R were utilized to analyze the data. The study revealed that there was a significant
relationship between the extent of implementation of e-learning and mental well-being of the
students amidst COVID-19 Pandemic. However, there was no significant relationship between
the extent of implementation of e-learning and academic performance of the students, same with
the mental well-being and academic performance of the students amidst COVID-19 Pandemic at
Olivarez College-Tagaytay. Furthermore, results showed that there was a great extent of
implementation of e-learning among students at Olivarez College-Tagaytay. The result proposed
that the school should not only focus on the continuous e-learning but also consider and give
attention to the mental well-being of their students and plan a strategy that could adequately meet
every student’s needs.
