Abstract
This study investigated constructs concerning the adjustment of the students regarding the transition from the online to the face-to-face mode of learning during the COVID-19 pandemic period. The research participants included all twenty teachers at the junior high school department of Saint Theresa’s College of Cebu during the academic year 2022-2023. The research instrument employed was a set of questionnaires with open-ended questions referring to the three constructs of the study. A thematic analysis of the qualitative data gathered from the questionnaire was done. The results of the data gathered consisted of the different themes that emerged from the clustering of the significant statements revealed by the teacher participants about the adjustment in school of their students during the transition period. For the construct on attitude and behavior of the students, two themes emerged, namely, desirable and undesirable attitudes and behavior of the students. The emergent themes for the construct on problems and challenges have the following categories: academic; disciplinary; financial; and psychological. The third and last construct of the study on the coping mechanisms of the students has its emergent themes with the following categories: academic; recreational; discipline and organization; and socialization. The results of the study obtained would help in the needs assessment and the provision of background information for the teachers and the guidance counselor’s assistance in enabling the students to adjust during the transition from online to face-to-face mode of learning.
