“…Overall, the abovementioned challenges can be provided with proper and adequate attention and solution by the government and the sincere participation of other stakeholders. One related literature stated that one of the primary barriers in learning technology is the time, how to teach them, and other job responsibilities (Polly et al, 2020). Another study also pointed out the relationship between online readiness and ODL learners' preferred technological devices (Firat & Bokurt, 2020).…”

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic changed the course of delivering quality education to learners. This study analyzed the level of digital competence of school administrators, the readiness of schools, and perceived challenges on the delivery of distance learning. Using a descriptive research design, the researchers used an online survey to gather pertinent data for the study. Thirty-six (36) administrators took part in the online survey using universal sampling from a school division in the province of Bulacan, Philippines. The researchers created an online research instrument and subjected it to validation before the actual administration. After data gathering, the researchers encoded and tabulated the data. This study used the following statistical tools to analyze the data: frequency, percentage, and rank. The study found that the administrators have varied results on the aspect of digital competence based on the statistical analysis. In terms of school readiness on distance learning, the schools were not yet ready to implement a distance learning scheme. For the perceived challenges, internet connection/ connectivity is the primary concern. Other challenges involve preparation, competencies, funding, and devices for distance learning. Based on the result of the study, the researchers provided some essential recommendations for the administrators, teachers, and other stakeholders.

“…As a result, the theory maintains that social settings and learning are interrelated (Kurt, 2020). The theory demonstrates that for effective teaching and learning, lecturers must act as facilitators, who engage students in guided interactions, comprehensive thoughtful discussions and the creation of collaborative communities of learners (Polly et al, 2020;Kurt, 2020;. Polly et al (2020, p.2) found that learning "awakens a variety of internal development processes that are only able to operate when a student interacts with others."…”

The need to optimize student interactions in universities for enhanced academic performance has been a subject of debate and discussion in different academic fora. A number of studies have shown that students, both male and female, can assert themselves academically if they are provided with opportunities for active participation and interaction with their lecturers and peers for both the horizontal and the vertical sharing of knowledge. The purpose of this study, therefore, was to investigate the gender-based interaction practices of science, mathematics and technology university students, and how these interactive patterns influence their academic performance. Using a quantitative approach located in the post-positivist paradigm, the study employed a structured questionnaire to collect the data from a sample of 1285 students from three universities. The results of the study showed that institutional practices, lecturers, parents, peers, learning content and artifacts, as well as the classroom environment, have a significant influence on the gender-based interaction practices of university students. Furthermore,, the results showed that the levels of interaction have a significant influence on the academic performance of university students, according to gender. As a main recommendation, it was proposed that universities should come up with gender-equity policies that would guide how the universities and their stakeholders could cater for the issues of gender equity.

“…In a recent literature review, Belt & Lowenthal ( 2020 ) analyzed 45 studies on teaching with technology published between 2013 and 2018. Polly et al ( 2021 ) also reviewed the literature as foundations for their faculty development studies. Their findings identify time as the major issue for faculty.…”

“…Their findings identify time as the major issue for faculty. Existing commitments to teaching, research, and service leave little space to address the ever-increasing role of instructional technologies (Belt & Lowenthal, 2020 ; Polly et al, 2021 ). Due to their high levels of education, some faculty may be unaccustomed to the feeling of being less informed in a knowledge domain relevant to their profession.…”
