I. INTRODUCTION
The COVID-19 pandemic has introduced uncertainty into significant aspects of national and global society, including for schools. There is uncertainty about how school closures last spring impacted student achievement. The rapid conversion of most instruction to an online platform this academic year will continue to affect achievement without data on how the virus impacts student learning, making informed decisions about whether and when to return to in-person instruction remains difficult. Even now, education leaders must grapple with seemingly impossible choices that balance health risks associated with in-person learning against the educational needs of children, which may be better served when kids are in their physical schools. Amidst all this uncertainty, there is a growing consensus that school closures in spring 2020 likely negatively affected student learning (Kuhfeld & Soland, 2020).
Most first-year education students are new to the learning environment of Notre Dame of Midsayap College, which is done using Schoology, and it gives them much anxiety since not all of them cannot afford a stable internet connection. This has been a big problem for most first-year education students in achieving academic excellence.
