Predictors of Students’ Academic Performance in Online Learning

Online learning is using the Internet to provide educational information, resources, and assistance to students, allowing meaningful interaction and supporting knowledge creation. This study used the descriptive-correlational research design to determine the predictors of students’ academic performance in online learning at the College of Education of Misamis University, Ozamiz City. Stratified random sampling was used to get the 124 education students who served as respondents. An adopted instrument in the Factors that Affect Students’ Academic Performance in Online Learning questionnaire from Gopal and Mushtaq (2020) consisting of 28 statements was used as the research instrument. This tool consists of 4 categories: Study Habits, Teacher Skills and Efforts, Accessibility, and Parental Involvement. Results showed that the perceived factors influencing students’ academic performance in online learning regarding study habits, teacher skills and efforts, accessibility, and parental involvement were high. Students have average performance in online learning based on their general weighted average in the first semester of the school year 2021-2022. Study habits and accessibility were significantly correlated with academic performance. The predictors of students’ academic performance in online learning were study habits and accessibility. Students with good study habits and internet connectivity will likely achieve and maintain good grades in their online learning. If internet access is not widely available in rural areas, teachers give extensions to pass requirements without deducting more significant points.
