Abstract

The main point of this study is to know their academic performance of the Civic Welfare Training Service Students in the online distance learning It partially sought to answer the following question; What is the demographic profile of the respondents?; What are the challenges of Online Distance learning among MSU-Main CWTS-students in terms of learning modality, financial circumstances, internet connection; What is the academic performance or Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of the students?; and Is there any relationship between the challenges of the student in Online Distance Learning and academic performance?

Based on the data that was gathered, it was found that there was a significant relationship between the challenges encountered in the online distance learning and respondents’ academic performance. The way you cope with the new delivery of instructions of the new normal is a sign of progress in academic performance. Thus, there is really a tremendous effect on academic performance if the learners already aware of the learning modality they have, but your academic performance only depends on the learner’s ability to perform based on the criteria set by the teacher.

Furthermore, challenges in online distance learning affects the academic performance of the student, while academic performance can’t affect the online distance learning, thus it is very important to know the modality, learning styles of the learners in the online distance learning to get a high academic performance.
