I. 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 wellbeing 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.
