Abstract

This study was conducted to find out the effects of Online Distance Learning in the Development of Macro Skills Communication. The study sought to answer the following questions: (1) What is the status of Online Distance Learning in terms of: (1.1) Printed Modules; (1.2) Online Classes; and (1.3) DepEd TV; (2) What is the level of Macro Skills Communication of the respondents in terms of: (2.1) Reading Skills; (2.2) Listening Skills; (2.3) Speaking Skills; (2.4) Writing Skills; and (2.5) Viewing Skills; (3) Is the Online Distance Learning have significant effect to the Macro Skills Communication of the Learners? In this study the researcher used a Descriptive Method to gather specific answers and her main tool in data gathering was a checklist questionnaire. A questionnaire via google form was used to gather data in the said study. Based on the gathered, different findings are hereby presented: The status of online distance learning in terms of printed modules, the weighted mean 4.18 and a standard deviation of 0.75 revealed that the status of online distance learning in terms of printed modules was interpreted as “Beneficial”. The status of online distance learning in terms of online classes, the weighted mean 3.85 and a standard deviation of 0.86 revealed that the status of online distance learning in terms of online classes was interpreted as “Beneficial”. The status of online distance learning in terms of DepEd TV, the weighted mean 3.94 and a standard deviation of 0.83 revealed that the status of online distance learning in terms of DepEd TV was interpreted as “Beneficial”. The level of macro skills communication of the respondents in terms of reading skills, the weighted mean 4.19 and a standard deviation of 0.68 revealed that the level of macro skills communication of the respondents in terms of reading skills was interpreted as “Beneficial”. The level of macro skills communication of the respondents in terms of listening skills, the weighted mean 4.09 and a standard deviation of 0.76 revealed that the level of macro skills communication of the respondents in terms of listening skills was interpreted as “Beneficial”. The level of macro skills communication of the respondents in terms of speaking skills, the weighted mean 4.15 and a standard deviation of 0.74 revealed that the level of macro skills communication of the respondents in terms of speaking skills was interpreted as “Beneficial”. The level of macro skills communication of the respondents in terms of writing skills, the weighted mean 4.18 and a standard deviation of 0.67 revealed that the level of macro skills communication of the respondents in terms of writing skills was interpreted as “Beneficial”. The level of macro skills communication of the respondents in terms of viewing skills, the weighted mean 4.15 and a standard deviation of 0.64 revealed that the level of macro skills communication of the respondents in terms of viewing skills was interpreted as “Beneficial”. Weighted mean, standard deviation, and F-test/Anova were used to accept or reject negative inference based on the results above, we can now conclude that online distance learning has no significant effect to the macro skills communication of the learner, therefore, the null hypothesis stating, “There is no significant effect on the Online Distance Learning in the Development of Macro Skills Communication.”  Was accepted.
