CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
Computer system servicing is the backbone of computer
subjects in the Technical Vocational and Livelihood Track in
senior high school. It serves as the chassis that keeps all
computer courses in TVL intact on its base. Students are
expected to gain skills and pass the four core competencies
in this subject. (1) Assembling and Disassembling Computer
System (2) Setup Computer Networks (3) and (4) to attain the
objective of this course, the learners are given enough time
to practice and apply what they have learned, memorizing the
step-by-step procedure might be the biggest challenge to
every CSS student. However, teachers using the Flipped
classroom in the digital age highlight current and latest
education trends, emphasizing the technologies used to meet
learning objectives.
Anent to this, Jarvis (2020) reported that flipped
classes are difficult to master, and it needs a different
skill set from lecturing teachers. In practice, the
usefulness of flipped classes is frequently limited. Many
flipped classrooms fail to boost students' test results and,
when handled incorrectly, might affect the student's
performance.
In many educational institutions, the flipped classroom
approach has become a popular pedagogy to help students
become more active and participatory. The basic notion of
flipped classroom approach is to deliver the teacher's
lectures before class through online videos to free up the
in-class time for active learning and problem-solving
activities. It focuses on teaching strategies, learner
engagement, student interaction, and digital tools for
learning. A flipped classroom is a teaching strategy in
which introductory content is delivered outside the
classroom, typically through the internet. It moves
activities into the classroom, including those that may have
traditionally been considered homework. Therefore, we use
audio or video materials (e.g., instructional videos,
YouTube, screencast, for out-of-class learning and regular
(instead of optional) face-to-face class meetings. According
to Abdelhak Aqqal et al. (2017), the flipped classroom is an
effective learning approach for improving the learner's
performance in ICT.
Timely now, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)
pandemic has disrupted the education modality of face-to-
face learning; hence the use of electronic technology and
media to deliver, support, and enhance learning, learners,
and teachers utilizing online content is a necessity. The
advantages of flipped classroom learning in education
include improved accessibility of information, updated
content, cost-effectiveness, and enhancement of the learning
process, wherein students are motivated to be active
learners. Flipped classroom learning can provide students
with foundational knowledge and confidence before exposure
to real applications. It has effectively taught evidence-
based computer servicing (CSS NC II) and facilitated
interprofessional education. Thus, this study aims to know
how effective flipped classrooms are in CSS NC II.
It is in this context that this present study is
conceptualized. Thus, the main purpose of conducting this
study is (1) to identify the flipped classroom of senior
high school in Eduardo V. Agomaa National High School, (2)
to determine the level of effectiveness of flipped
classrooms on students, (3) to propose a flipped classroom
in CSS NC II.
The findings of this study may assist teachers in instilling
learning through a pedagogical approach in which students
are introduced to the learning material prior to class,
discussion with peers, and problem-solving exercises are
utilized to increase comprehension.
RESEARCH OBJECTIVES
This study aimed to propose version 2.0 of the flipped
classroom implementation in Computer System Servicing NC II
of Senior High School students at Eduardo V. Agomaa National
High School.
Specifically, the main objective will be answered
through the following inquiries:
1. Document the implementation of the virtual flipped
classroom approach in SHS-CSS in Eduardo V. Agomaa National
High School under JDVP.
2. Propose flipped classroom version 2.0.
SCOPE AND DELIMITATION
This study covered the documentation of the effect of
flipped classrooms in Computer System Servicing NC II in
Senior High School. The primary subjects of this research
study consisted of the Grade 12 CSS students under the
Joint-Delivery Voucher Program enrolled in the academic year
2020-2021. The respondents were limited to one (1) CSS
Teacher of Global I.T. Naga Campus and twenty-one (21)
students on the TVL Track of Senior High School of Eduardo
V. Agomaa National High School, Duang Niog, Libmanan,
Camarines Sur.
This study is limited to secondary schools in Camarines
Sur that conducted flipped classrooms in CSS NC II classes
under the Joint-Delivery Voucher Program of the Department
of Education.
Theoretical Framework
As illustrated in figure 1, this study is anchored on
the Zone of Proximal Development Theory by Lev Vygotsky,
which determines that individuals in the zone of proximal
development can almost do the task independently, but not
quite. They can complete the assignment successfully if they
receive some assistance from more knowledgeable others. It
could be teachers, parents, tutors, and even peers.
According to Vygotsky's theory, when students are
taught how to do something or are shown how to do it, they
arrange the new information they have just learned into
their pre-existing mental schemas. They use this information
as instructions on carrying out these tasks, eventually
learning to do so independently. This theory elaborated that
educators need to study, teach and learn higher mental
functions than the learners to give a complete learning
experience.
The Experiential Learning Theory of Kolb is learning by
doing. Experiential learning is centered on the notion that
experiencing actual experiences is the most excellent method
Figure 1 Theoretical Framework
to learn new things. The memories of those encounters remain
in learners' minds, aiding in the retention of knowledge and
skills. Kolb indicated that this theory has four stages,
concrete learning, reflective observation, abstract
conceptualization, and active experimentation. The first two
phases of the cycle are concerned with acquiring the
experience, whereas the following two are concerned with
converting the experience. The first phase is concrete
learning. In this stage, the learner acquires new
experiences or interprets the prior knowledge from a new
perspective. The second phase is reflective observation,
wherein the learner personally reflects on their experience
and internalizes what this experience means. The next phase
is reflective observation, where the learner reflects on
their experience personally. They use the lens of their
experience and understanding to reflect on this experience.
The last phase is active experimentation, where the learner
applies the new ideas to actual situations.
The Connectivism Learning Theory of Siemens and Downes
(2005) proposes that students should connect their thoughts,
theories, and general knowledge in a productive way. It
recognizes that technology is an important aspect of the
learning process and that our continuous connectivity allows
us to make choices about our learning. It also encourages
group cooperation and conversation, allowing for multiple
points of view and views when making decisions, solving
problems, and making sense of information. Connectivism
encourages learning outside of a person via social media,
internet networks, blogs, or knowledge databases.
According to connectivism, learning is more than our
internal building of knowledge. Rather, what we may attain
through our external networks is likewise deemed learning.
Based on this notion, two terms—nodes and links—have become
widely used to describe how humans acquire and connect the
information in a network.
Applied in this study, the teacher should be competent
in the TVL track and an expert that could guide the learners
through the complete training to develop their skills.
Learners could develop their skills with the help of the
trainer and their peers. The trainer created a strategy that
enables cooperative learning. In that way, the learner's
retention of the learning process is acquired in two ways,
recalling the thoughts to teach and learning while teaching.
Also, developing the skills in the TVL track are learned by
doing. Acquiring learning experiences through
familiarization with the step-by-step process of learning
outcomes through learning modules, flipped videos, and
demonstrations are concrete learning and reflective
observation. The actual application and practical
demonstration of the trainees during the assessment is the
abstract conceptualization and active experimentation.
Additionally, the learning approach in the proposed
flipped classroom and the trainer learning approach used in
training under the joint voucher program are self-paced
teaching strategies. The trainees can access different
learning resources, such as flipped videos, learning
modules, android CSS applications, and internet CSS-related
information. In connectivism theory, the learners can
connect and enhance their learning networks using different
learning materials.
CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
Figure 2 illustrates the conceptual framework of the
study. It utilized the input, process, and output models.
The input was determined as the independent variable that
affected the effectiveness of the flipped classroom during
this training. The trainees' age was the first identified
factor affecting flipped classrooms' effectiveness. Dave
(2020) concluded that millennials prefer participatory and
immersive learning methods. They actively utilize
technology, involve themselves in learning, and participate
in

activities, discussions, and experiments. The geographical
location of the trainees was one of the variables that
needed to be considered because it affected their progress
in the training in terms of internet connectivity. The other
factors that affected the flipped classrooms' effectiveness
were the learning strategy used by the trainer in the pre-
training, in-training, and post-training activities. Anent
to this, Jarvis (2020) reported that flipped classes are
difficult to master and need a different skill set from
lecturing teachers.
The next variables were the process of documentation of
the firsthand experiences of the respondents. The researcher
has made a survey checklist, conducted an observation, focus
group discussion, interview and documentation. To generate
the output, the researcher used thematic analysis to extract
the most relevant answers connected to this study.
Identifying the issues and challenges of the respondents
during the training helped the researcher to propose an
innovative flipped classroom that addresses their
difficulties and could contribute to the effectiveness of
flipped classrooms in Eduardo V. Agomaa National High
School.
ASSUMPTIONS
In this study, the researcher assumed the following:
1. The flipped Classroom's effectiveness might depend
on the teacher's strategy, learning plan, and availability
of learning resources.
2. The proposed innovative flipped Classroom enhances
this study's previous version of the documented Flipped
classroom.

CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES
This chapter presents reviews of related literature and
studies regarding the utilization and effectiveness of
flipped classrooms as a learning approach.
This presents the related literature gathered by the
researcher. It focuses on the different factors that affect
the outcome of the implementation of the flipped classroom.
One of the factors is the impact of probing questions
determining the prior knowledge of the trainees to create a
good learning strategy. Another is the effectiveness of
flipped classrooms in teaching computer system servicing
during the pandemic.
Flipped Classroom as Learning Approach
Educational content is evolving; new approaches like
the flipped classroom have evolved. The flipped concept
offers an innovative solution to the unmet challenges of
traditional education. Using video technology, students
digest content at their own pace and use their time in the
classroom to attack difficult problems. It also creates
practical instances to foster face-to-face collaboration.
The true essence of this method is its focus on students,
who go from passive receivers to active participants in
their learning. Some statistics show that flipping the
classroom produces beneficial results: 96% of educators who
have used this methodology would recommend it to their
colleagues, and 9 of 10 professors report a positive change
in student participation.
Moreover, a flipped classroom is a type of blended
learning in which instructional content is delivered in the
opposite direction of the traditional learning environment.
Outside of the classroom, often online. It brings
activities, including those that were previously assigned as
homework, into the classroom homework, into the classroom.
Furthermore, Acedo (2022) stated that flipped
classrooms' most noticeable concern is that students must
have access to a computer and the internet to attend the
lectures. This is especially difficult for low-income
learners who already have limited resources. Also, some
professionals argue that if every instructor begins flipping
their classes, students will spend hours watching lectures
on computers. This can affect students' learning processes
because only some are as skilled at studying through a
computer. However, the study by Dave (2020) concluded that
millennials prefer participatory and immersive learning
methods. They actively utilize technology, involve
themselves in learning, and participate in activities,
discussions, and experiments.
Janique Oudbier (2022) highlighted six key elements
that influence how well the flipped classroom works: the
implementation, the task characteristics, the out-of-class
activities, and the in-class activities. The mediating
factors are the learner's degree of self-regulated learning,
the teacher's role and motivation, the assessment technique,
and guidance during self-study through prompts or feedback.
These elements can be positively promoted by organizing the
learning process and concentrating teacher training on
skills and methods crucial for the flipped classroom.
Krueger (2022) pointed out that flipped classroom
recognizes that everyone learns at a different speed; it
utilizes a learn-at-your-own-pace method of instruction.
However, this operation is mainly based on the assumption
that learners are self-motivated. Some learners are less
driven than others, and this form of instruction may allow
those learners to accomplish less. Also, the tests are
usually given out to everyone simultaneously to judge how
much they have learned over time and to ensure they can keep
up. If learners operate under the flipped classroom model,
they will approach tests at different times. This will also
allow learners to procrastinate on their learning while
dreading the next test.
Anna (2020) stated in her study that higher levels of
self-discipline are needed in flipped classroom approach.
Flipped learning's learner-centered orientation might be a
disadvantage for learners who need help with self-
discipline. The learners must be motivated to interact with
the learning content and devote time to learning. It is not
sufficient to attend a lecture and passively absorb what the
professor provides. "This may be a problem for more
learners than you realize." In a study of 204 learners, 41%
said their lack of personal motivation was a barrier to
participation in online learning.
Additionally, Jarvis (2020) reported that flipped
classes are difficult to master and need a different skill
set from lecturing teachers. In practice, the usefulness of
flipped classes is frequently limited. Many flipped
classrooms fail to boost students' test results and, when
handled incorrectly, might affect the student's performance.
In connection with this, Barbaro (2019) stated that in
flipped classrooms, a flipped classroom approach would not
miraculously save unmotivated teachers who are not putting
in the effort to prepare or are not interested in teaching
students skills an inverted classroom is learned by doing.
Therefore, the teacher must engage the learner in the
different practical activities that will develop their
skills.
Jensen et al. (2015) pointed out that students in a
flipped classroom may be able to participate in peer
instruction, group discussions, and other interactive
learning settings. Students can apply course topics to real-
world problem-solving and decision-making situations.
However, improving learning may occur by implementing
appropriate active learning approaches rather than just
flipping the classroom. Some study has found that when both
courses utilize active and constructivist learning
strategies, a flipped classroom does not result in larger
learning gains or better attitudes than a non-flipped
classroom.
Moreover, Moraros (2015) pointed out that despite its
widespread exposure and clear benefits, the Flipped
Classroom approach has only attracted a limited amount of
scientific research, notably on its efficacy in higher
education. The Flipped classroom has mostly been used in K-
12 classrooms, with some secondary applications in
undergraduate learning environments. The limited study
literature suggests that students view the flipped classroom
differently. Some research has revealed that students prefer
the flipped classroom to the conventional teaching methods,
while other studies have concluded that students are less
satisfied.
Furthermore, several studies have been done to compare
the efficiency of flipped classrooms with regular classrooms
Dodson, et al.(2014). According to research, learning the
material in a typical classroom is the same as using a
flipped classroom. However, according to Talbert (2015), the
types of activities students needed help with were usually
assigned to students to complete independently for homework.
The flipped model allows students to receive help and
support from peers and teachers to complete and understand
these tasks.
Significance of Probing Question in Flipped Classroom
Identifying the prior knowledge of the trainees in this
program is essential. It determines the pace of the training
and the strategy that the trainer uses to facilitate
learning. Using the art of questioning, the teacher can sort
out the students' answers and determine the focus of the
training. In his Geography blog, John Sayers stressed the
value of challenging students with questions, writing, "I
love questioning and the potential depth to thinking it can
generate”. However, far too frequently, including in my
practice, I obstruct opportunities for deepening the
thinking by posing a fresh challenge or issue to keep the
room's innovative energy flowing.
Furthermore, Yasmine Nasr (2021) discussed the
importance of probing questions in teaching in her article
"Why You Should Not Overlook the Importance of Probing
Questions in Teaching. "It elaborates on the types of
probing questions and explains their importance and usage in
the academe. To summarize, teachers should abandon
traditional teaching methods and begin to address the
challenges of the modern era. New teaching techniques like
probing can improve class management and student engagement.
Neuert et al. (2019), online pretests have become a
viable method for testing survey questions before they are
used in surveys. Even if the results of cognitive online
pretests are comparable to those of face-to-face cognitive
interviews regarding the issues found and the suggested
question adjustments, more is needed about the appropriate
structure of a cognitive online pretest. This study aims to
determine whether the quantity of open-ended probing
questions that are asked during a cognitive online pretest
affects the accuracy and comprehensiveness of the responses
provided by respondents and their satisfaction with the
survey. The results indicate that including more open-ended
probes in a cognitive online pretest does not degrade the
quality of respondents' responses as measured by the
following response quality indicators: (1) probe
nonresponse, (2) unintelligible answer rate, (3) dropout
rate, (4) word count, (5) response time, and (6) number and
type of probe themes. Furthermore, the number of questions
answered has no bearing on the respondents' satisfaction
with the survey.
Reday (2019), created three models to structure these
probing questions to win the dialogue between the sales
representative and the customer. Since salespeople typically
have a solid understanding of these models, the sales
manager can use them confidently when coaching sales
employees to increase their performance in closing deals
with little to no further training. These models also have
the benefit of being well-known to the purchasing
organization. Solid evidence that probing questions can
extract information that will help to guide the trainees and
the trainer.
Issues and Challenges in Flipped Clasroom
The flipped classroom is widely used during the
pandemic. Most schools and universities tried flipped
classrooms as a blended learning approach. As a result, the
issues and difficulties of using this learning strategy were
dig-up and exposed.
The study of Chung Kwan Lo et al. (2017) divided the
issues and challenges into three: student-related, faculty-
related, and technical and operational challenges. The
student-related problems are that some students hold a
conventional view of learning, watching videos could have
been more exciting and active, and some students needed
clearer instructions on how to work productively in groups
during class. Also, in terms of faculty-related issues, the
teachers need help understanding the value of flipped
classrooms and are accustomed to this new instructional
approach. Preparing flipped learning materials requires
considerable start-up effort. Furthermore, the technical and
operational challenges were that students might need
internet access to view the videos at home, and the flipped
classroom approach relied on the extent of the investment by
schools in computer resources.
Moreover, Choon Keong Tan (2018), conducted this study
in Vietnam, a small-scale research project that attempts to
investigate students’ perceived challenges when attending a
flipped English grammar class. This study identified
problems in the study were the following: lack of immediate
support and lack of ICT resources. Students had to watch the
video lessons at home to prepare for their class meetings to
participate effectively in a flipped class. Students then
complained that when watching digital lessons, they could
not immediately ask their teacher if they had any questions
about the content, as they could in traditional lectured
classes. Additionally, students must complete all pre-class
activities outside of class using ICT technologies, but
their circumstances are not the same. Some students stated
they did not have a laptop, while others reported
technological issues such as a lack of Wifi access and slow
Internet speeds. The participants discussed this challenge
in greater depth during the interviews.
Along with these problems, it is undeniable that
flipped classroom is an effective learning approach if the
resources and proper training are conducted.
Effectiveness of Flipped Classroom in ICT
As the curriculum and policies require, teacher
educators must modify their teaching methods. Although there
are certain challenges with internet accessibility and
technology proficiency, teacher educators support flipped
classes. Lack of internet access, bad network connections,
expensive data bundles, and a lack of ICT resources were all
mentioned by teacher educators as major obstacles to
implementing the flipped classroom. Flipping classrooms can
be advantageous for developing nations, but doing so
necessitates proper ICT infrastructure, teacher dedication,
and professional development training for educators to
create and implement this strategy. Based on the study of
Aidoo et al. (2022), the ability of teacher educators to
create flipped courses depends on their ICT literacy and
capability to raise student involvement by addressing and
meeting demands. Institutions can pay professionals to train
teacher educators to improve their ICT abilities, so they
can effectively teach online. Also, it mentioned that
teacher educators discussed how the utilization of the
flipped classroom strategy was constrained by a lack of ICT
equipment and inadequate ICT infrastructures, such as slow
internet connectivity.
However, the study of Seitan et al. (2020) demonstrates
how the integrated flipped classroom model and ICT tools
improve secondary students' academic performance in the
computer science subject and foster a good attitude toward
peers, teachers, ICT tools, and motivation. With the F.L.
model, students can study independently anytime and anywhere
to learn the necessary abilities for the ADT computing
module. This has several advantages over traditional
classroom instruction.
Additionally, the study by Han (2020) supported the
narratives above. Based on her findings emphasized the
differences in the deployment of flipped classrooms and
blended learning on academic performance. Compared to
traditional schooling and electronic learning, designing a
flipped classroom has a greater impact on enhancing student
outcomes. Before taking part in the face-to-face meeting
where students actively solve issues based on guided
questions, they can spend enough time watching the lectures
and preparing. Based on directed questions, the teacher
provides these students with fast feedback. The flipped
classroom makes good use of both in-class time and
extracurricular activities by combining traditional
instruction with online learning.
Chak-Him Fung's (2021) results showed that the impact
of flipped classrooms on students' academic performance and
views still needs to be clarified in mathematics. Further
investigation revealed that an effective flipped classroom
always includes discussion, instructor feedback, and peer-
collaborative work and produced superior academic results
than the conventional approach. Then, a structure for a
successful flipped math classroom is offered.
Basavaraj (2019) stated that there was a significant
difference between the pre and post-test scores and also the
mean scores of summative tests between the two groups (P <
0.001). The perception of the students regarding flipped
classrooms was also evaluated. Eighty-two percent strongly
agreed that flipped classrooms were more engaging and
interesting than traditional classes. Seventy-six percent
strongly agreed that more such classes should be conducted
in the future. This experiment evaluates the flipped
classroom's impact on the traditional way of teaching
medical students. As a result, the researcher uncovered that
flipped classrooms effectively improved student performance
and learning experience compared to conventional small group
teaching, and students' response was also largely positive.
Likewise, the study of Hew, et al.(2018), revealed that
the meta-analysis of 28 eligible comparative studies
(between-subject design) showed an overall significant
effect in favor of flipped classrooms over traditional
classrooms for health professions education (standardized
mean difference, SMD = 0.33, 95% confidence interval, CI =
0.21-0.4 when instructors used quizzes at the start of each
in-class session. More respondents reported they preferred
to flip to traditional classrooms.
Furthermore, the study of Abdelhak Aqqal et al. (2017)
shows that the flipped classroom is an effective learning
approach in improving the learner's performance in ICT.
According to this study's assessment data, most students
liked the flipped classroom approach to the ICT engineer
training-introduction session. Furthermore, their study
validated the applicability of flipped learning in
engineering education and demonstrated the favorable
influence of this teaching modality on student
accomplishment. It achieved an overall increase of roughly
12.8% as a contribution of the flipped classroom for all
students compared to the reference in-class instruction, and
female students outperform male students.
Chen Hsieh et al. (2016) results revealed that the
theory-based flipped instruction using online written and
oral interaction not only enhanced the participants'
motivation, making them more active in using idioms in class
but also significantly improved their idiomatic knowledge,
indicating that the flipped learning was successful in
achieving the instructional goals of the class. The present
authors give insights into the impact of theory-based
flipped learning on motivation, idiomatic acquisition, and
student impressions of the online platform and offer
practice recommendations.
Similarly, Zainuddin, et al. (2016) stated that in the
study on Flipped Classroom Research and Trends from
Different Fields of Study, analysis of the impacts showed
that flipped classrooms positively impacted students'
learning activities such as achievement, motivation,
engagement, and interaction. Several issues in this
discussion become implications that can be considered for
future research. Some challenges found in applying flipped
classrooms are needed to be addressed by future researchers,
such as the suitability of the flipped classroom for the
poor quality of video lectures and untrained instructors.
This study also becomes an implication for government or
policymakers to determine the flipped classroom as a
contemporary model to be implemented in teaching-learning
activities for higher education, even K-12 students.
Moreover, Murray D. et al. (2015) used a survey to
determine how students perceived Flipped learning. Students
were generally positive about the approach, particularly the
convenience and flexibility of the flipped videos. Although
face-to-face teaching time was reduced in this flipped
learning implementation, students felt that they interacted
more with their instructors and peers. Students felt
strongly positive about walkthroughs and were mixed in need
of the instructors' faces. Significant efforts were made to
produce high-quality and engaging videos, but the survey
suggested that students learned the most during tutorial
time. The relative importance of interactive tutorials is
congruent with a large body of research and pedagogical
approaches advocating the importance of active student-
centered learning.
In Addition, Pierce et al. (2012) used flipped learning
in their pharmacotherapy class. They found modest
improvements in student performance and positive student
perceptions that suggested students recognized the
pedagogical benefits and the convenience of the flipped
classroom approach. Kong (2014) used a flipped classroom
approach in an integrated humanities class and found that
students taught this way significantly increased their
domain knowledge.

CHAPTER III
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This chapter presented the research design, methods and
procedure, respondents' profiles, data analysis techniques,
and ethical considerations.
RESEARCH DESIGN
This study used a phenomenology qualitative research
design. It involved studying a specific group of learners in
a training program to understand their learning difficulties
and practices. It also aimed to have a more thorough
understanding of the trainer's learning strategy and
learning approach during the flipped classroom
implementation. Furthermore, it required analysis and
interpretation of the documented content and interview.
METHODS AND PROCEDURE
A researcher-made survey checklist was utilized to
gather data to document the flipped classroom approach. It
also served as a guide in conducting focus group discussions
with the learners and the trainer under the program. Also,
For the documentation, the researcher was invited to observe
during the online class, scheduled-home visitation, and
institutional assessment. A thematic analysis was used to
discuss the gathered information about the respondents'
experiences. The top two answers per question from the
researcher-made survey checklist were extracted and
discussed with the supporting details gathered from
documentation and focus group discussion.
The data gathered in objective one was used to propose
the innovative flipped classroom version 2. The learning
plan, monitoring tool, and trainer strategies were perused
to develop flipped classroom version 2.0. The activities of
the trainees were documented to extract the learning
activities that helped perform the learning outcomes of the
trainees in the new version. The issues and challenges
documented were analyzed, mainly to lessen these factors'
effect on developing the learners' skills.
RESPONDENTS'PROFILE
The study's respondents were the Computer System
Servicing NC II grade twelve students of Eduardo V. Agomaa
National High School in 2020-2021. The respondents were
twenty-one students, with twelve (12) females and nine (9)
males. Regarding their age, nineteen (19) are eighteen,
while the others are seventeen and twenty-one. All
respondents were
Researcher’s made-survey checklist. It was to verify
their selected for the focus group discussion after
answering

the answers and extract more information about the
questions. For the interview, the trainer of the joint-
voucher program was chosen. A male teacher from Global I.T.
Naga Campus. Moreover, their first-hand experiences helped
the researcher to document and analyze their learning
activities and journey in this program.
ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS
The researcher applied the principles of ethical
consideration developed by Bryman and Bell (2007).
Concerning involvement in this research study, the
participants were not subjected to harm in any way. Before
the study, full consent was obtained from the participants,
the trainees, the trainer of Grade 12 CSS NC II students of
Eduardo V. Agomaa National High School, and the trainer from
Global I.T. under the joint voucher program of the
Department of Education. In addition, the protection of the
privacy of research participants was ensured. The voluntary
participation of the respondents in the research was very
important.
DATA ANALYSIS TECHNIQUE
The descriptive thematic analysis was used to
categorize the respondent's answers. In documenting the
respondents' activities, strategies, and difficulties, a
researcher-made survey checklist, documentation, and
interview were conducted to extract the respondents' first-
hand experiences. This is for the researcher to appreciate
their activities under the flipped classroom learning
approach. The data from the researcher-made survey checklist
and focused group discussion were analyzed, and a coding
process was used to determine the respondents' top two
answers—the themes were generated using a coding process
focused on learning plans, activities, issues, and
challenges.
This study also used methodological triangulation to
understand further the respondents' answers for the
conclusion to be more reliable since the gathered data comes
from different methods and two sets of respondents.

DATA ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION
The chapter presents the analysis and interpretation of
the findings of this study. These are divided into two
sections. The first section is a documented discussion of
the flipped classroom pre-training, in-training, and post-
training under the joint voucher program. The first section
is about discussing the pre-training activities. The second
section discusses the actions that take place during the
execution of this learning mode. The third section is all
about the post-training activities. The second half is
devoted to debating the suggested flipped classroom.
Document the implementation of the virtual flipped
classroom approach of SHS-CSS in Eduardo V. Agomaa National
High School under JDVP
Table 2 shows the summary of the findings based on the
researcher's gathered data through the researcher's made
survey checklist, focus group discussion, interview, and
document data from the trainer. The table divided the
findings according to their usage in this chapter. The first
section is about the pre-training activity, followed by
training activities discussed in three themes, and the last
is the post-training activity.

A. PRE-TRAINING
This narrative is about the activities held by the
trainer before the formal training under the joint voucher
program. This discussion is about the learner's prior
knowledge diagnosis, which created one theme the probing
question.
Probing Question. This discussion focused on probing
questions which were found as the preliminary activity made
by the trainer to know the prior knowledge of the trainees.
During the focus group discussion, one of the trainees
said,
"Before the discussion, especially in an online
class, Sir Erick asked questions about what we
have learned."
Also, after summarizing the respondents' answers on the
survey checklist, thirteen answered that asking questions
was the teachers' way of assessing their prior knowledge in
CSS NC II during the Joint-Delivery Voucher Program. Also,
the respondents reiterated that the trainer conducted a pre-
practical demonstration to further verify the trainee's
competency. Furthermore, as stated by the trainees, they
were assessed in core competencies one and two. Core
competency one focuses on installing and configuring a
computer system, while core competency two focuses on
setting up a computer network.
Based on the narrative of the interview conducted, the
teacher was aware that the students had prior knowledge of
CSS NC II as it is part of the curriculum offered by Eduardo
V. Agomaa National High School in the Technical Vocational
Livelihood Track in Senior High School. Moreover, the
conducted pre-practical demonstration was the trainer's way
of seeing if the trainees were proficient in the skills in
CSS NC II that they had already acquired before the Joint-
Delivery Voucher Program.
Moreover, in this training during the pandemic, knowing
the student's prior knowledge and proficiency will save
time, resources, and effort for the trainer and the
trainees. Also, it implies that the trainer used the
assessment result to determine the focus of the training in
every core competency in CSS NC II. Thus, more time will be
allotted to core competencies that might be difficult for
the trainees to master. Furthermore, it helped Global I.T.
They have utilized their resources since they were the
learning materials and equipment provider under the Joint-
Delivery Voucher Program.
Moreover, the statement above is supported by Anmei
Dong et al. (2020), How Does Prior Knowledge Influence
Learning Engagement? The Mediating Roles of Cognitive Load
and Help-Seeking concludes that students with high prior
knowledge are likely to need less help than those with low
prior knowledge, who need more help. As also stated, the
practical implication is that the teachers must adjust the
instructional design to facilitate the student's learning
development.
Determining the students' prior knowledge is an
excellent way to save time and resources. The teacher could
use a self-assessment guide to determine the acquired
knowledge of the learners and validate it using a task sheet
containing the objectives needed to pass the competencies in
the four areas. Also, it will help to determine if the
trainees are proficient in every competency of four cores in
Computer System Servicing. Also, giving certificates to the
trainees who are proficient in particular core competencies
will help the other trainees to be more motivated. Moreover,
advancing the trainees to the following core competency will
save the trainer and trainees time.
B. IN-TRAINING ACTIVITIES
Implementing the flipped classroom under the joint
voucher program was conducted during the pandemic. There
were different factors affecting the implementation of this
program. These factors need to be considered by the trainer
to achieve the program's goal successfully. The researcher
documented the different activities and first-hand
experiences of the trainees and the trainers. The
researcher's observation, interview, and focus group
discussion generated three themes: learning plan,
activities, issues, and challenges. To further understand
the learning approach of the trainer used in this training
activity, the learning plan discusses the trainers' guide
and the monitoring tools used to facilitate the
implementation of this program. The second theme is the
synchronous activities that discuss the online practices
held during the flipped classroom approaches—followed by
asynchronous activities that show the different activities
during the learning content application. Lastly, issues and
challenges encountered by the trainer and trainees under the
implementation of in-training of the JDVP will elaborate on
the respondents' activities and experiences.
Learning Plan. To fully understand the learning
activities of the trainees and the trainer in this learning
approach, this narrative discusses the learning strategy and
learning tools used by the trainer to facilitate the
training in the flipped classroom. It was divided into five
(4) parts. The first section was about the session plan,
which served as the trainer's guide throughout the training.
The second part of the discussion was about the activity
matrix, which the trainer uses for activity scheduling. The
third section discusses the progress chart used by the
trainer to monitor the learning outcomes of the trainees.
The fourth section discusses the accomplishment chart used
by the trainer to monitor the daily accomplishment of the
trainees.
Session Plan. When the trainer asked about the training
guide he used for this training, he responded that in Global
I.T., they use a session plan to provide a focus for the
training and remind the trainer of the critical training
points in the discussion.
"Using a session plan, I can easily guide the
learners with their learning outcomes for every
learning objective with allotted hours and
training time."
Also, during the observation conducted by the researcher,
the trainer presented his session plan for core competency
one. Append is the session plan used by the trainer.
"To implement the content of my session plan, I
used three learning approaches: the virtual
flipped classroom, modular, and scheduled-home
visitation."
He made this statement because the training was held during
the COVID-19 pandemic. In connection with this, in the
Department of Education in the Division of Camarines Sur,
the face-to-face classes under the joint voucher program
were suspended and moved to the online class and modular
approach. The trainer invited the researcher to observe the
class during the virtual flipped classroom implementation.
Also, during the distribution of the modules, the researcher
documented the recipients of the modules, which were the
trainees' parents. Additionally, during the scheduled-home
visitation, the trainer invited the researcher to observe
how he facilitated and validated the learning progress of
the trainees. Based on the researcher's observation during
the scheduled-home visitation, the trainer validated a
practical demonstration performed by his trainees through an
assessment checklist (see appendix) by observing them during
their scheduled practical on core competency one. As shown
in an appendix are the virtual class screenshots, the
modules' distribution, and scheduled-home visitation.
Furthermore, the session plan is divided into nine (9)
parts. The first part is the Sector, which indicates the
specific training field; in this case, it is electronics.
The second part is the Qualification Title, which shows the
learning track's title, Computer System Servicing NC II. The
third part is the Unit of Competency, which shows the focus
of the training needs to address the learning gaps. The
fourth part is the Module Unit, which indicates the unit
module based on the competency-based curriculum. The fifth
part is the Learning Outcomes, which indicate the learning
objectives under specific core competencies. The sixth part
is the Introduction, which provides an overall view of what
the training is to accomplish. The seventh part is the
Learning Activities, which are divided into seven elements:
1.) Learning Content, which shows the learning sequence of
the topics. 2.) Methods indicate the learning style the
trainer will use to discuss the topic. 3.) Presentation
covers the learning tools the trainer will use. 4.) Practice
indicates how the learner can apply and assess the trainees'
knowledge, skills, and attitudes. 5.) Feedback indicates the
result and correct answers so the trainees can compare their
output and assess their learning. 6.) Resources indicate the
learning materials that the trainees will use. 7.) time,
though the training is self-paced, this section provides an
ideal period for a specific topic. The eight-part is the
Assessment Plan, which indicates the method of evaluating
the achievement of learning outcomes. The ninth part is the
teacher's reflection. It shows the trainer's feedback about
the sufficiency of the learning content and the
appropriateness of the methodology that the trainer used in
the session.
Based on the trainer's statement and the researcher's
observation during the implementation of the session plan t,
the trainer mainly used the session plan to guide him and
his trainees on the sequence and pace of the training and
its ideal training period. Also, he used his session plan to
determine the learning approach style to address the
trainees' needs with a slow internet connection.
Additionally, the session plan gives a concrete
learning plan during the distance learning that guides the
trainees to develop their skills under the joint voucher
program in computer system servicing. The session plan in
this training was also the template used in TESDA, which was
proven effective and used a competency-based curriculum that
indicated the unit competency.
This narrative is about the implication of the session
plan in training. With the use of the session plan in this
training, the trainer addressed the learning needs of the
students. Thus, the trainer could sequence the learning task
aligned to the core competencies and learning objectives.
Also, it guided the trainer to facilitate the learner with
different learning needs. Thus, the trainees with
difficulties accessing the internet were redirected to
another learning style. Also, with the session plan, the
trainer provided a self-paced assessment style that helped
the trainees assess their learning. Thus, the trainees were
ready to assess learning outcomes in every learning
objective.
Additionally, the session plan provided a time frame
that indicated the ideal period for every topic that helped
the trainer to strategize his learning approach. Also, it
helped the trainees accomplish the tasks within the given
time for every topic. Furthermore, the session plan provided
a trainer's feedback that will help the trainer assess the
effectiveness of his learning strategy. As a result, the
trainer can improve his session plan for the following
training sessions.
The statement above is supported by Jessica Miller
(2014) that lesson preparation is an essential component of
being a successful trainer and should be utilized to prepare
for what will happen in the training sessions. Depending on
the instructors' ideas and organization, this preparation
and how it is carried out might be helpful or unproductive.
The session plan's execution will always start with how the
trainer planned it. Also, in the study of Zahorik et al.
(2003), well-planned exercises featured defined goals and a
logical framework with step-by-step content development.
Lessons can be logically organized in two ways: sequencing
and alignment. The sequencing of a single lesson, as well as
the sequence of a series of lessons, is significant. Having
a sequence means that trainers can link ideas and concepts
that are connected rather than isolated. Alignment
guarantees that all aspects of the session planning
sequence, notably the aim, activity, and assessment, are
working together toward the goal of trainer accomplishment.
Moreover, the study of Janique Oudbier (2022)
highlighted six key elements that influence how well the
flipped classroom works: the implementation, the task
characteristics, the out-of-class activities, and the in-
class activities. The mediating factors are the learner's
degree of self-regulated learning, the teacher's role and
motivation, the assessment technique, and guidance during
self-study through prompts or feedback. These elements can
be positively promoted by organizing the learning process
and concentrating teacher training on skills and methods
crucial for the flipped classroom.
Proper planning leads to a better learning experience
for trainers and trainees. Though the curriculum guide for
computer system servicing in DepEd was based on TESDA, it
would be more practical if the teachers in CSS in DepEd used
a session plan rather than preparing raise plus. Since the
training and curriculum are patterned after TESDA, the
learning approach must also be aligned with the curriculum.
This will help the learners learn faster based on their
preferred learning style and pace.
Activity Matrix. During the observation conducted by
the researcher, a noticeable tarpaulin was posted on the
wall of the training room. When the trainer was asked what
that was, he replied that it was an activity matrix.
"I used an activity matrix plan to schedule the
training activities of the trainees along with
the tools and equipment they are going to use."
He said this statement when asked about the purpose of the
activity matrix. He mentioned that the trainer must have a
session plan to accomplish the activity matrix. He also
elaborated on the different parts of the activity matrix,
which are the following: 1.) Training Activity, which
indicates the set of activities for the trainees. 2.)
Trainee, show the list of names of the trainees. 3.)
Facilities/Tools and Equipment, based on the resources of
the session plan, indicate the learning materials that the
trainees will use. 4.) Venue Working Station shows the
different working stations for the trainees based on their
level of competencies. Since the learning style is student-
centered, the student's progress was self-paced. He also
mentioned that a divided working station was not applicable
in this training because the Global I.T. only provided one
set working station per group due to the pandemic. 5.) Date
and Time, shows the specific date and allotted time for the
trainee to accomplish their given task. 6.)Remarks: Indicate
the type of assessment the trainees will take during the
researcher's observation during the online class. The
trainer updated his training activity matrix based on the
tasks of every group. He also updated the trainees about the
focus of their training.
Based on the trainers' statement, he used the activity
matrix to specify the task of every trainee based on their
learning needs. Also, dividing the class according to their
learning needs helped the trainees learn faster through peer
teaching. Additionally, the activity matrix provided a
specific time frame for the trainees and trainer on when to
accomplish their tasks and conducted an institutional
assessment for skills validation. Also, it helped the
trainees to locate the specific task sheet, information
sheet, and other learning materials that helped them with
their tasks.
Moreover, based on the narrative, it implied that the
activity matrix in this training helped the trainees
determine the order of their tasks in every competency.
Also, based on the narratives, the trainer used this
learning chart to create a group that led to peer teaching.
As a result, the students with common learning needs learn
faster. Also, with the help of the activity matrix, the
trainer identified the learning resources the trainees
needed for every task. Thus, it was easier for the trainees
to look for the learning resources needed to accomplish
their tasks. Another importance of the activity matrix was
that the trainer provided a specific time frame for the
trainees to complete their tasks. Thus, the trainees were
guided about their schedule for institutional assessment to
be validated by their trainer.
The statement above, supported by Wharing Center for
Education (2021), stated that the activity matrix offers a
simple method to arrange teaching and learning opportunities
throughout the day. It gives the trainers a visual framework
and a prompt for when a group may deliver planned,
personalized instruction based on the objectives of specific
learners. By arranging for teaching to take place throughout
each activity, routine, and transition throughout the day,
the activity matrix/IEP helps optimize instructional time.
Additionally, matrices may be a helpful tool for
teamwork and cooperation, ensuring that everyone in the team
is aware of the learners' objectives and the lesson plans.
Also, the study of Jensen et al. (2015) pointed out that
students in a flipped classroom may be able to participate
in peer instruction, group discussions, and other
interactive learning settings. Students can apply course
topics to real-world problem-solving and decision-making
situations.
Based on the above narratives, an activity matrix helps
develop the trainee's skills and knowledge about specific
learning objectives and outcomes. Integrating the activity
matrix in the senior high school grade 12 computer system
serving class might be helpful and valuable for the teachers
and students. Also, creating a workstation with different
learning needs is possible using an activity matrix. The
learning task and resources will be determined per
workstation so that the students can perform the given task
for an allotted period. Also, the students will be aware of
their training time because they will be prompted with the
schedule of their institutional assessment.
Progress Chart.During the focus group discussion, eight
trainees responded that they were using a progress progress
in the training.
"Sir Erick used a progress chart to monitor our
progress along the training. He presented and
updated us about our accomplishments through an
online class."
This statement is supported by the thirteen trainees who
answered that their trainer used a progress chart to monitor
their progress during the training under the joint voucher
program. Also, during the researcher's observation, the
trainer presented a progress chart to the class.
Additionally, during the trainer's interview, he mentioned
using a progress chart.
"I used a progress chart in training to monitor
each trainee's learning outcomes and competencies
and assess my teaching strategy."
He has made this statement because, in TESDA, every trainer
must record their trainee's achievement during the training.
During the interview, he also elaborated that the progress
chart is divided into two categories.
"The progress chart is divided into two
categories, the common competencies, and the core
competencies, but in this training, I focused on
core competencies of CSS NC II."
He focused on the core competencies because, during the pre-
assessment, the trainees could pass the common competencies.
He also mentioned the different parts of the progress chart,
which are the following: 1.) Name of Trainees, it shows the
list of trainees under the joint voucher program. 2.) Core
Competencies Checklist indicates the different competencies
the trainees must pass to mark a check. 3.) Legend shows the
list of different core competencies learning activity
outcomes to be performed by the trainees. He mentioned that
the trainee could mark a check under the learning activity
after validating the skills through practical demonstration.
It was proof that the trainee was competent.
Based on the narratives, the progress chart in this
training served as a monitoring tool for the trainer and
trainees to track their learning outcomes in every core
competency learning activity. Also, another important use of
a progress chart in this training was that the trainer could
track the trainees who needed to perform better in
accomplishing their learning activities. Also, the progress
chart can be an evaluating tool for the trainer to assess
his teaching strategy effectiveness in teaching the core
competencies in computer system servicing.
This implies that aside from monitoring the trainees'
progress during the training, a progress chart in this
training was also used to improve the trainer's instruction
in teaching core competencies. The trainer was aware that if
most of the trainees needed help advancing, there might be a
problem with the teaching strategy he utilized for this
training. Besides, it also means that the trainees used the
progress chart to track their performance. Additionally, the
primary use of a progress chart in this training was to
monitor the trainees' progress and for the trainer to
provide an intervention when required.
Based on the study of Stecker et al. (2008), Progress-
monitoring material encourages the instructor to evaluate
the quality of the student's instructional program and
detail the student's general rate of progression over time.
One of the most significant functions of progress monitoring
is to give the instructor the data so they may modify their
lesson plans. When students do not do as well as expected,
the instructor should think about initiatives that may be
changed to improve student performance. Also, the study by
Sanchez (2016) stated that as long as teachers are
comfortable using this method, tracking students'
development is a valuable tool for supporting them in
pedagogical monitoring and performance analysis of trainees.
Additionally, the study by Cotton (1998) stated that
effective education requires teachers to assess students'
ability levels and track their learning progress. Monitoring
tools can make teachers increasingly aware of these
implications and help them change their lesson plans as
required by the data they gather.
Moreover, the use of a progress chart in this training
was found to be helpful. Before the pandemic, the CSS
teacher at Eduardo V. Agomaa National High School was
already using a progress chart to monitor the student's
progress in the training. It would be more beneficial if the
progress chart started with common competencies. Besides,
skills development in computer system servicing commences on
common competencies.
Achievement Chart. During the researcher's observation,
another chart was posted on the wall. When the researcher
was asked what the was or. He replied that it was an
achievement chart.
"I used this chart to keep track of the necessary
tasks and activities that are often listed on the
CBLM worksheets. The purpose of the achievement
chart is to allow you to keep track of trainees'
daily successes."
He made this statement to support and justify the daily
activity task sheet given to the trainees that he validated
through an achievement chart. The task sheet is part of the
competency-based learning module used as a reference for the
trainer to create a session plan. The achievement chart is
divided into three (3) parts. The first part is the list of
trainees' names. The second part is the list of activities
of each core competency of the track. The third part is the
Legend of the chart, which shows the details of each
activity in core competencies.
Based on the researcher's observation and the trainer's
statement, the achievement was used in this training to
monitor the daily accomplishments of the trainees. Also,
based on the trainer's statement, the achievement chart was
used to monitor the trainee's progress in each activity
toward accomplishing learning outcomes. The difference
between an activity chart and a progress chart is that an
achievement chart is used to monitor the daily achievement
of trainees. In contrast, a progress chart is used to
monitor the accomplishment of learning outcomes in every
core competency.
Based on the above narratives, the trainer monitored
the daily progress of the trainees to assess their progress.
As a result, the trainees were guided and accomplished their
tasks according to the time frame. Monitoring the trainee's
daily accomplishments helped them to do their tasks and
track their progress. Also, with an achievement chart, the
trainer assesses each trainee's performance and gives an
intervention if needed. As a result, no trainees were left
through the entire training.
The study by Atwell, 2014 supports the statement above.
Supervising students during the process, the teacher
monitors who need extra support to ensure that he/she
completes the task correctly. Also, the study by Vaccaro
(2018) stated that the first benefit of monitoring student
learning during training was that students were more likely
to be engaged in the process. Also, the study by Cotton
(1998) stated that ongoing assessment is essential for
student success.
Additionally, Jarvis (2020) reported that flipped
classes are difficult to master and need a different skill
set from lecturing teachers. In practice, the usefulness of
flipped classes is frequently limited. Many flipped
classrooms fail to boost students' test results and, when
handled incorrectly, might affect the student's performance.
The achievement chart is a good monitoring tool for the
daily accomplishments of trainees. However, in public
schools where there is a problem with equipment and
facilities, using an achievement chart is not practical.
Even so, utilizing the DepEd Computerization Program can be
an excellent support to facilitate the learner's needs in
practical application in computer system servicing tracks.
By dividing the class into different working stations, the
class will be divided into four. Each group can use the
working station depending on their progress. With the use of
validated pre-assessment, the teacher can determine the
groupings of the class. The process will be self-paced, and
a practical validation will be conducted before the trainees
can proceed to the following core competency learning
outcomes.
Activities. This section will discuss the activities in
the flipped classroom learning approach conducted by the
trainer. The trainer's learning strategy was divided into
three virtually flipped classrooms, modular, and scheduled
home visitation, which generated two themes synchronous and
asynchronous activities. The synchronous activities focused
on giving learning inputs to the trainees and assessing
their learning knowledge via online quizzes. The
asynchronous activities discussed the practical application
of learning inputs to the setup and skills validation.
Synchronous. Based on the survey checklist results,
twenty-one respondents answered that they meet thrice
weekly. Online sessions were conducted every Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday.
The online platforms used in this training were Google Meet
for online classes and Facebook Messenger for chat
communication. The trainer's statement supports this during
the interview.
"I used online class sessions to enhance the
learner's insight about the topics. I also used
online classes for recitations and quizzes."
Furthermore, as reiterated by the trainees, the answer
sheets were sent privately to the teacher through pictures.
In connection with this, the trainer's strategy was to
motivate the trainees to listen and participate attentively
during the session. Also, as articulated by the respondents
during the focused group discussion, they were rewarded by
their trainers.
"Sir Erick rewarded the trainees with the highest
scores in quizzes, one hundred pesos worth of load
for the first prize, while the second and third
prizes would get fifty pesos worth of load."
Also, as mentioned by the respondents, during the online
session, they were updated by the trainer about their
progress in the training. The progress chart was updated to
record the trainees' progress and discuss it with them.
Based on the narrative of the interview conducted, the
trainer utilized online classes to discuss the learning
content of the training. The trainer knew the trainees were
distracted and may have lost focus on the training session.
As an intervention, he used a reward system to capture their
attention and motivate the trainees to listen during the
discussion and study the learning materials. Furthermore,
the trainer conducted quizzes and used a progress chart to
assess the student's progress in the program. Updating the
students' progress was a good strategy to motivate the
trainees to accomplish the objective learning tasks. Also,
the trainer used online sessions to give instructions for
the following tasks under specific core competencies. In
addition, the trainer also used the online sessions to
ensure that the students were learning and accomplishing the
tasks given to them.
Moreover, the narrative above clearly implies that the
intervention made by the trainer to retain the trainee's
attention was effective. The trainees in this program were
motivated to attend online classes and perform the given
tasks because they had fun competing to get the reward.
Furthermore, showing and updating the progress chart every
session was an excellent strategy to motivate the students
to accomplish the task given to them so that they will
strive to accomplish the task and will not be left behind by
their co-trainees.
Moreover, the trainer's strategy helped the trainees
complete the given task in this program.
The narratives support McClean's (2016) study that giving
tangible incentives can positively affect students'
performance. According to this study, the quality of the
students' effort increases when they know they will be
rewarded. Also, the study of Chen Hsieh, & Michael W. Marek
(2016) revealed that the theory-based flipped instruction
using online written and oral interaction not only enhanced
the participants' motivation but also made them more active
in class.
Distance learning modality indeed faces many challenges.
Ensuring the retention of interest of the learners every
session is a big challenge to the teacher. Introducing a new
learning modality and motivating the learners during the
transition might be too complex for teachers during the
pandemic. A learning management system such as NEO LMS will
help students track their online progress. Also, it will
serve as their guide through the entire session and update
them about the learning task that needs their attention.
Another is providing a progress chart that can be seen in
the practice area with a list of the task the students need
to accomplish and a set of checklists that will show their
progress during training sessions.
Asynchronous. In this training, students' learning and
progress were self-paced. As stated by the respondents,
Tuesday and Thursday were utilized for familiarization and
mastering the new skills discussed during the online
session.
"Sir Erick divided the class into groups. Each
group was composed of three members. Every group
had the equipment and tools provided by Global
I.T."
Also, to ensure the trainees' safety, the trainer ensured
that each group member came from the same community. As
reiterated by the trainer, home visitation was conducted
during these days. Following the proper health protocol, he
visited the trainee's home to check if the equipment
functions according to its purpose, and some concerns were
addressed during this visit. Based on the interview, the
trainer utilized these days for a practical performance
application. The students were scheduled to perform a
practical demonstration in every core competency in order
for them to proceed with the next task. The trainer used
performance content to evaluate the trainees' mastery and
proficiency in the skills they needed to develop. If the
trainees had queries, they used Facebook Messenger as a
communication tool. Also, the respondents mentioned that
there were times when they were monitored using video calls.
Based on the interview narrative, the trainer designed
and utilized Tuesdays and Thursdays to monitor, develop,
refine, and expose the trainees to the practical application
of the information received during the online session.
Additionally, by separating the trainees into small groups,
the trainer adopted a peer teaching technique where trainees
can watch or instruct other learners in the group.
Based on the respondents' statement, there should be
ample time for practical application where learners may
apply, perform, and enhance their abilities in creating a
learning plan for the flipped classroom. Furthermore,
ongoing monitoring assists learners in effectively following
the intended learning objectives. Also, the respondent's
narratives demonstrate that peer learning is a useful
learning approach in the technical track. Learners may truly
learn by seeing their group mates perform the given task,
making acquiring the skills much simpler.
The statement above is supported by the study of Shweta
et al. (2020), which stated that reasonable practice helps
students to master the hands-on skill of a particular task.
Providing enough time to the trainees will help to become
more precise and proficient. Also, the same study stated
that feedback from their co-trainees encourages skill
development. Also, feedback encourages students to assess
their actions, identify potential mistakes, and analyze and
track their learning. This feedback serves to reinforce
learning positively. Also, the study by Krueger (2022)
pointed out that flipped classroom recognizes that everyone
learns at a different speed. It utilizes a learn-at-your-
own-pace method of instruction. However, this operation is
mainly based on the assumption that learners are self-
motivated.
Additionally, the study by Blanco (2017) stated that
students engage in peer contact according to their varied
learning styles and pace, indicating that students with the
same learning interest positively benefit each other in
acquiring knowledge.
Based on the above findings, giving enough practice
time helps the students improve their hands-on skills. In
connection with this, letting the students practice their
acquired learning in practical application three times
during class hours will help them become more proficient in
the learning task. Also, providing working stations for
every task in core competency will unnoticeably group the
students according to their learning needs and promotes peer
teaching.
Issues and Challenges. Virtually flipped classrooms
were used in this training, and issues and challenges were
part of it. In this section, the issues and challenges will
be discussed. The first part of the narrative discussed the
technical issues. This narrative will cover the difficulties
encountered by the trainer and the trainees in technical
aspects of the training, including the internet connection,
tools, and equipment. The second part of the narrative is
the domestic issues. This section will discuss the
challenges encountered by the trainees during training while
staying at home. Table 3 shows the summarized findings of
the researcher's observation, focused group discussion, and
researchers' made surveys checklist.
Technical Issues.The respondents stated during the
interview that internet connectivity was their most common
problem. Nineteen out of twenty-one respondents stated that
they had a poor internet connection. Five respondents were
from Busak, Libmanan, and Camarines Sur, an upland area in
Libmanan, which is noted for poor internet connection
because of its demographic location. The trainee's statement
supports this finding during the focused group discussion.
"The first problem we encountered during the
online session was the poor internet connection.
There were times that we needed to move to another
location to receive a good internet connection."
Thus, trainees in this area needed help attending the online
sessions. The respondents also indicated that they addressed
the issue by transferring to another location with a good
internet signal. Also, as stated by the respondents, there
were instances when they could not connect to the internet.
As a result, they just referred to their learning module to
accomplish the task. Moreover, the rest of the respondents
answered that they needed a better internet connection from
Duang Niog, Libmanan, Camarines, Sur. When the respondents
were asked about their solutions to address this problem,
they stated they looked for another location that could
receive a good internet signal. Furthermore, eighteen out of
twenty-one respondents stated that they were distracted by
other social media platforms.
"Sometimes we are distracted by message
notifications on social media such as Facebook
Messenger and Tiktok. Sometimes, we read messages
in class or watched videos on YouTube and Tiktok."
The trainees were given a data allowance every week for
their online sessions. Thus, the trainees
had access to the internet, specifically their social media
accounts. As mentioned by the respondents, there were
instances during the training hours when they were browsing
Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram. As stated, they
needed to focus on the lesson. Furthermore, the distraction
from other social media platforms was inevitable. In
connection with this, the trainer's strategy was to utilize
the time allotted for the online session and performance
content. Using social media and Facebook messenger, the
trainer often supervised the trainees. Home visitation was
another way to see the trainees' progress and check if the
equipment was functioning according to its purpose. As part
of the training in TVL-track, the trainees were given enough
time to practice and familiarize the steps and procedures in
every core competency. Although the learning approach was
self-paced, the trainer supervised the trainees to ensure
that the time frame for the training was being followed.
Based on the narrative of the interview conducted, the
trainees were aware that slow internet access could affect
their learning progress in this training. Besides, it also
shows that they were finding ways to address it by looking
for a good location with good signal strength. Also, the
trainer was aware that the trainees were distracted by
social media. Thus, the trainer created strategies that
would minimize the distraction.
Moreover, the statements above clearly implied that the
slow internet connections affect the trainees' progress
under this program. Demographic location is one factor that
affects the speed of an internet connection. As a result, it
consumes trainees' time and effort to find a good spot,
resulting in the delayed development of their skills.
Furthermore, the narrative implies that the trainer exerted
effort by creating strategies to help minimize social media
distractions. As a result, it helped the trainees be more
focused on the lessons.
The trainee's narrative supports the result of Acedo
(2022), stating that flipped classrooms' most noticeable
concern is that students must have access to a computer and
the internet to attend the lectures. This is especially
difficult for low-income learners who already have limited
resources. Also, some professionals argue that if every
instructor begins flipping their classes, students will
spend hours watching lectures on computers. This can affect
students' learning processes because only some are as
skilled at studying through a computer. Also, the same study
result of Sitzmann et al. (2010) shows that remote learning
raises time and space limitations and poses some
difficulties due to connectivity issues, applications
lagging, and computers running slowly, which may interfere
with the learning process. The trainees must adjust and
adapt to the new learning modality despite the difficulties.
Furthermore, the trainer's action to minimize social media
distraction supports the study of Agwi Uche Celestine et al.
(2015), Impact of Social media on Students' Academic
Performance, which revealed that the time spent on social
media negatively affects students' academic activities.
In this learning modality, learning modules support the
trainees to develop their skills in every core competency
continuously. Furthermore, the distribution of recorded
instructional videos showing the step-by-step process in
every core competency will support the trainees to enhance
their skills and maximize their time and effort when the
internet connection is unreliable. Also, the DepEd
computerization program will significantly help with this
training modality. The program can aid the trainees by
providing them with one Acer netbook containing all the
instructional videos that can be accessed without an
internet connection.
Domestic Issues. As stated by the respondents during
the focus group discussion and the result of the survey
checklist interview, the most common issues were household
chores and the fact that the place was not conducive to
learning. In this section, these two difficulties affect the
trainee's performance regarding online sessions and
performance content. The first issue mentioned by the
respondents was household chores.
"I need to finish the household task earlier than
the scheduled time of online sessions. Sometimes
my parents give me a task during class hours."
As the pandemic arose, there was no other option than
distance learning. The training was held online, so the
student needed to stay home. As articulated by the
respondents, staying at home means more responsibilities
when it comes to household chores. More responsibilities
mean less time to study. The interviewer asked the
respondents how they addressed this issue and mentioned that
they had accomplished their tasks before the online class.
The second issue stated by the respondents was that the
environment needed to be more conducive to training. Because
of the setting, trainees were required to study at home with
their parents and siblings. According to the respondents,
focusing on the lecture was difficult due to background
disturbances, and the learning space needed to be bigger or
more available. As articulated by the respondents, they
resolved the issue by finding a suitable location to focus
on the lesson.
As revealed in the interview, trainees stayed at home
for most of the training period and were not excused from
performing their duty at home. It shows that the trainees
knew that household chores were a distraction that they
needed to resolve. It also shows that time management was
their solution to this problem. Despite the situation,
trainees knew they needed to manage their time effectively,
utilizing the given period for the training session to be
more competent. In addition, they need more learning space
to address. The equipment provided by Global I.T. was two
desktop computers and a network rack that needed at least
six square meters of learning space. It showed that the
trainee's strategy was to choose a house among the group
members where they could set up the equipment with fewer
noise disturbances.
Based on the narrative of the respondents, it implies
that the training hours in this program were shortened and
consumed by the trainees' obligations, domestic
disturbances, and duties. As a result, the student's
performance was sacrificed, and their progress was delayed.
Also, based on the respondents' narratives, parent support
is needed in this learning approach. Utilizing training
sessions on mastering the skills without any disturbances
will help the students focus on being more proficient and
competent. Another is the need for more learning space for
this training. Practical application during performance
content was vital in this training; this program applies to
the equipment. Thus, in this program, the trainees with
learning spaces had the advantage of being more capable of
mastering the skills in the different tasks in CSS NC II.

The above findings support the study by Lydia Emmanuel
(2015), which revealed that many students fare poorly in
their exams because of their limited time to engage in
academic pursuits at home, which is owing to the amount of
time they spend doing household duties. The same study
revealed that the significant amount of time spent by the
students on domestic tasks was a second important factor
contributing to their low academic performance, which was
preceded by a lack of teaching and learning tools.
Meanwhile, the study of Dhanapala (2021) supported the above
statement on the effect of learning spaces on students'
performance. The study revealed that the students with
proper facilities performed better than those with
inadequate facilities.
Most senior high school students have responsibilities
at home, whether taking care of their family's needs or
performing household duties. Despite the students' limited
study time, providing them with the right equipment and
consumables will help them to be motivated and optimistic
that they can improve their skills and be competent in
performing the task in CSS NC II. The school's MOOE fund may
be used to purchase consumables and other training
materials. Additionally, providing parents with orientation
prior to the training will enable them to see how crucial it
is for students to have ample time to practice each learning
activity in this track. In this training, the learning
environment must be comfortable and accessible. An effective
technique for assisting students who lack a suitable
learning environment at home is to group the students with
at least three to four of the same neighborhoods. Peer
teaching is another useful learning approach in this
training that aids in the advancement of the trainees.
Post-Training Activities. This section will discuss the
activity held by the trainer to validate the learner's
acquired knowledge through the full training under the JDVP.
The statement below is based on the researcher's observation
and the data gathered by the trainer and trainees.
Institutional Assessment. The trainer held an
institutional assessment to validate trainees' acquired
skills under the joint voucher delivery program. The
institutional assessment validates the trainees' skills
toward accomplishing the four core competencies in computer
system servicing NC II. Based on the data gathered and the
researcher's observation, the assessment was held within two
days. Because of the pandemic, the class was divided into
two. The trainees' validation was held on March 18, 2021, to
march 19, 2021. The trainees were given seven hours and
thirty minutes to complete the task from core competency one
to core competency four. The assessment guide checklist
consisted of (33) thirty-three items. For core competency
one, the time allotted was one (1) hour for ten (10) items.
For core competency two, the time allocated is two and
thirty minutes for six learning tasks. The next learning
task consisted of ten items for two and thirty minutes only.
Lastly, core competency four was composed of six learning
tasks with one hour allocated. The trainer checked the
assessment checklist when the trainees completed every core
competency learning task and validated it by the trainer.
The twenty-one trainees successfully passed the
institutional assessment and ended with one hundred passing
rates.
It was revealed that the trainees were prepared and
ready to perform the learning tasks for the institutional
assessment. Evaluating the students' skills at the end of
the training is necessary to determine if the training was
successful in terms of learning approach and methodologies.
Also, the narrative shows that the time allotment was one
factor determining the trainees' proficiency in executing
the task.
Also, the assessment is needed to validate the acquired
skills and knowledge of the trainees. Also, it shows that
the time of the trainee's exposure to the learning content
application in this training is one factor that needs to be
considered to familiarize with the step-by-step procedures
in every core competency. Moreover, millennial learners
prefer learning methods that use technology. They actively
involve themselves in the learning process. As a result,
they learn faster and adapt quickly to the learning process.
This is supported by the study of Zainuddin, Z., &
Halili, S. H. (2016) stated that the study on Flipped
Classroom Research and Trends from Different Fields of
Study, analysis of the impacts showed that flipped
classrooms brought positive impacts on students' learning
activities such as achievement, motivation, engagement, and
interaction. Several issues in this discussion become
implications that can be considered for future research.
Also, the study by Dave (2020) concluded that millennials
prefer participatory and immersive learning methods. They
actively utilize technology, involve themselves in learning,
and participate in activities, discussions, and experiments.
Assessment after the training is significant in
determining the student's progress and proficiency in this
learning approach. Assessment could be done at every end of
the core competency in CSS NC II. This ensures the trainees
are ready to learn the next core competency and its learning
content application.
This study aims to propose a flipped classroom version
2.0 based on the findings of objective one. This design will
be utilized for Core Competency one in Computer System
Servicing NC II grade 12 students in Eduardo V. Agomaa
Nationa High School, Duang Niog, Libmanan Camarines Sur.
PROPOSE FLIPPED CLASSROOM VERSION 2.0
This study aims to propose a flipped classroom version
2.0 based on the findings of objective one. The gathered
data in objective one was used to develop the flipped
classroom version 2.0. The findings on how the trainer used
the learning plan, monitoring tools, and strategies were
analyzed and modified to integrate into this version of the
flipped classroom. Also, the activities observed and
documented during the implementation of flipped classrooms
were analyzed and modified for this second version.
Additionally, the difficulties of the trainers and trainees
will be addressed, and an innovative solution will be
proposed to lessen the effect and improve the learner's
performance under the new version of these flipped
classrooms. This version 2.0 of flipped classroom was a
product of the previous version.
Table 3 shows the difference between the two versions. It
also shows the innovation made in this new version.
Introduction. This study aims to develop a flipped
classroom version 2.0 from the documented previous version
of the flipped classroom used by Global I.T. on grade twelve
students at Eduardo V. Agomaa National High School during
2020–2021. It mainly involves the computer system servicing
NC II teachers and the grade twelve students of Eduardo V.
Agomaa National High School, Duang Niog, Libmanan, Camarines
Sur, and other schools willing to adopt the proposed version
of this flipped classroom. The target schedule of this
flipped classroom approach will be implemented in the third
quarter of the academic year 2022-2023, which falls from
January to March 2023.
First and foremost, with the initiative of the CSS NC
II teacher, the approved proposal of the flipped classroom
version 2.0 must be signed by the school head, the public

school district supervisor of Libmanan, North District, and
the assistant school division superintendent of the Division
of Camarines Sur. Additionally, this approach will be
realized using the DepEd Computerization Program, which
provides stand-alone computers for the TVL track that offers
CSS NC II.
The grade twelve computer system servicing students are
expected to complete the various learning tasks in the four
core competencies. This proposed flipped classroom aims to
ensure that the students are familiar with the correct
procedure for carrying out the various tasks on four core
competencies. The integration of the session plan, in
addition to the lesson plan of the SHS teacher, will be this
version's first innovation. Monitoring tools such as an
activity matrix, progress chart, and achievement chart will
be introduced as part of this new version because it was
found that they were effective in tracking learners'
progress.
Furthermore, to promote peer teaching and utilization
of DCP, the workstation in this version will be introduced.
There will be four fundamental competencies at each
workstation. The students must complete the learning
assignments for each competency at the designated
workstation. This technique will support peer teaching and
deal with the training's self-paced learning model. The
students will be motivated to complete their tasks as they
see their progress on the monitoring tools.
Moreover, the internet connection was the main
technical problem in the previous version of the flipped
classroom. This version addresses the internet connectivity
in disseminating instructional resources through the local
area network. The learners can download the instructional
resources to their phones faster and more quickly without
using the internet service provider. Also, all instructional
resources can be viewed in the instructional area of the
proposed workstation for this version. Also, using a
MikroTik router, this version can disseminate internet
connection with limited bandwidth for the learners. It can
be used for additional research regarding the lessons. The
Mikrotik router may restrict social media's inbound and
outgoing connections and only use them for research to
prevent the distraction they cause.
Furthermore, to address the domestic issues in version
one, an orientation before the training will be conducted
for the parents of the learners. The main topic will be the
discussion of the significance of pre-class activities of
this learning approach to the learners' progress. The
support of the parents to the learners will be the number
one factor that needs to be gained for this version to be
effective. The parents' orientation will be included in the
proposal signed by the school head and supervisors. Also, to
address the learning environment, the proposed design of the
workstation will ensure that the learning environment is
conducive to learning.
The students can learn the practical application with
the tools provided by the teacher through online and offline
platforms. A learning management system will be used for an
online platform, and a local school area network will be
utilized for disseminating resources. Additionally, the
instructional videos will be available on social media
platforms or google drive. A zip application will also
compress the file for offline dissemination.
Moreover, regarding the proposed flipped classroom
version two and its effectiveness in addressing the
difficulties of the respondents in flipped classroom version
one, the respondents (fourteen trainees and one trainer)
were consulted via messenger about the innovation made in
this proposal. Most agreed that utilizing the local area
network would help resolve the internet connection issues.
The dissemination of the instructional videos and the Acer
netbook provided by DCP would help the learner acquire the
learning content of each competency. Additionally, according
to the respondents, the working station would promote peer
teaching strategy and utilization of learning resources and
consumable materials in CSS.
Pre-training Activities
Orientation. The primary purpose of this orientation is
to inform the parents about the program and distribute the
materials such as netbooks, consumables, and learning
resources. During the orientation, the teacher will discuss
the significance of time in this training, particularly
during asynchronous activities, wherein the students need
ample time to familiarize the step-by-step procedure of the
learning task. Also, parental consent will be provided and
discussed during the orientation. An authorization that they
will agree that their children will undergo this learning
approach. The support of the parents to the learners will be
the number one factor that needs to be gained for this
version to be effective. Orienting the parents on the
significance of watching instructional videos in this
learning approach will be addressed domestic issues,
particularly household chores.
The statement above focuses on resolving the technical
and domestic issues of flipped classroom version one. Giving
the learning materials through offline storage devices and
conducting parent orientation will ensure the student's
progress by eliminating the cause of the problem.
Moreover, the trainees can access the learning
materials and utilize their free time to study the content.
Also, this will enable them to be motivated to learn the
learning content more extensively in an inexpensive way.
According to Krueger's study from 2022, flipped
classrooms acknowledge that each student learns at a
different rate. It uses an independent learning approach to
instruction. However, the critical presumption underlying
this operation is that students are self-motivated. This
training method might enable students who are less motivated
than others to accomplish less.
Probing Question. In this version, the trainees will
answer the self-assessment guide—a list of learning tasks in
every core competency. With a checklist containing all the
learning tasks, the trainees need to check if they think
they can perform them. The trainer must validate the claim
of the trainees through actual demonstration of the task
checked by the trainees in the self-assessment guide. If the
trainees pass the validation assessment, the trainees can
proceed to the next learning task or core competencies.
The suggested activity above will determine the prior
knowledge of the trainees. It will help the teacher to
determine the phase of the class. Also, the validation
assessment will help the students to recall their prior
knowledge and be validated if applicable and updated.
Conducting prior assessments in training activities will
minimize learning resources and consumables used in CSS NC
II. Significantly the training phase of the student will be
reduced and focus on the critical aspect of the training
that needs mastery.
In her article "Why You Should Not Overlook the
Importance of Probing Questions in Teaching," Yasmine Nasr
(2021) emphasized the significance of probing questions in
the classroom. Class management and student engagement can
be significantly enhanced by implementing new teaching
strategies, such as questioning and conducting an activity
to know tier prior knowledge.
In-training Activities
Learning Plan. The learning plan for this flipped
classroom version 2.0 will utilize the session plan as it
will be integrated with raise plus, which will serve as the
trainer's guide in this training. The monitoring tool used
in this training will be the progress chart, achievement
chart, and activity matrix.
Session Plan. It was proven that the session plan
utilized by the trainer in flipped classroom version 1.0
effectively developed the students' skills in CSS NC II.
However, in DepEd, particularly in senior high school, the
teachers are obliged to accomplish raises plus as their
guide in teaching. Based on the gathered and given data by
the trainer, the session plan is an effective tool to use in
a flipped classroom learning approach. In this version,
utilizing the session plan format, the teacher needs to
create a session plan that covers the four core competencies
in CSS NC II. Since it will not be a laddered approach, the
teacher must ensure that the session plan is accomplished
and address the different learning components of each core
competency in four areas.
By incorporating the session plan into the daily lesson
log, the trainer can ensure that the students can access the
learning resources suited for the learning content. This
way, the trainees' progress can be monitored, creating
learning interventions if necessary. The teachers' strategy
and learning intervention will significantly impact the
trainees' progress in the flipped classroom.
The narratives above clearly implied that a session
plan will determine the student's progress based on the
teachers' intervention and strategies during the training.
Also, the learning resources will quickly be sorted
according to their training functions.
Regarding this, Barbaro (2019) asserted that flipped
classrooms and a flipped classroom strategy would only
magically save unmotivated teachers who are trying to
prepare or are engaged in teaching students' abilities,
which are learned by doing. The student must therefore be
exposed to various practical exercises by the teacher to
build their skills.
Activity Matrix. Flipped classrooms version 1.0 used
the activity matrix for scheduling the training activities
of the trainees and for scheduling tools and equipment. In
flipped classroom version 2.0, the activity matrix will be
used to schedule training activities and workstations for
the trainees. Since this second version introduces
workstation per core competency and not a laddered approach,
the scheduling of tools and equipment will be included in
each working station as there are different tools to be used
in each core competency.
The students learned more quickly through peer teaching
because of the class's division into groups based on their
individual learning needs. The activity matrix in this
version will ensure that the students per station will use
the proper learning tool designed for the given task.
Additionally, it is helpful to find the precise worksheet,
information sheet, and other learning resources that aided
the trainees in completing their tasks. Also, the students
are motivated if they are given enough learning resources.
Precise learning resources in every workstation will
help the trainers and the learners to utilize the learning
facilities in a computer laboratory. Also, the workstation
will promote peer teaching that will help the trainees learn
faster than studying alone by doing the task.
Students in a flipped classroom can participate in peer
education, group debates, and other interactive learning
environments, according to Jensen et al. (2015). Students
can use the course material to solve problems and make
decisions in the real world. However, implementing suitable
active learning strategies may result in increased learning
rather than simply flipping the classroom. According to some
research, a flipped classroom only provides more learning
gains or better attitudes than a non-flipped classroom when
both courses use active and constructivist learning
methodologies.
Progress Chart. It was used to monitor trainees'
progress in completing learning outcomes for core
competencies and to assess the trainer's teaching strategy
in the flipped classroom in version 1.0. In this version,
the progress chart will also be utilized to monitor the
learning outcomes for core competencies and assess the
trainer's strategy, which was proven effective in the
previous version. Additionally, to fully understand the
progress chart's use, it needs to be introduced to the
learners because it is new to them.
A progress chart's ability to help the trainer keep
track of the trainees struggling to complete their learning
exercises is another crucial function in this training.
Additionally, the progress chart can be a tool for the
trainer to evaluate the success of his lesson plans in
imparting the fundamental skills of computer system
servicing NC II.
This suggests that a progress chart in this training
will enhance the trainer's instruction in teaching
fundamental competencies and tracking the trainees' progress
throughout the program. Additionally, it indicates that the
students will use the progress chart to monitor their
development. Additionally, a progress sheet is primarily
used in this training to track student progress and allow
the trainer to intervene as needed.
Progress-monitoring materials urge the instructor to
assess the effectiveness of the student's instructional
program and detail the student's overall rate of growth over
time-based on the study by Stecker et al. (2008). Providing
the instructor with the information so they can change their
lesson plans is one of the most important purposes of
progress monitoring. When students perform below
expectations, the teacher should consider efforts that could
be modified to boost student performance.
Achievement Chart. The achievement chart in the
previous version was used to monitor the daily
accomplishment of the trainees for their daily tasks to
monitor the trainees' progress in accomplishing the learning
task in competency-based learning modules. In this second
version, the achievement chart will be used for monitoring
the daily task on different activity sheets of the students,
including the task in core competencies, not only on the
competency-based activities. Since the trainees will have
different learning tasks, the achievement chart will be
filled up according to their accomplishments in their
assigned core competency.
Monitoring the task given in each core competency will
ensure that the trainees follow the proper procedure of each
lesson activity task. Specifically, four core competencies
have a crucial effect on the overall output of the trainees
in configuring the server and client computers in the
network.
The trainer assessed the trainees' progress by
monitoring their daily progress based on the above
narratives. As a result, the trainees will be guided and
accomplish their tasks according to the time frame.
Monitoring the trainee's daily accomplishments in four core
competencies will help them do their tasks and track their
progress. Using an achievement chart, the trainer can assess
each trainee's performance and intervene if necessary.
Activities
The activities in this second version will be divided
into two synchronous and asynchronous. Under synchronous
activities, it was giving content knowledge and pre-class
activities since the objective is to give learning inputs to
the trainees. The documented use of asynchronous activities
in flipped classroom version 1.0 was for familiarization and
mastering the performance application, scheduled home
visitations, practical demonstration, and used for peer
teaching. This second version will also be utilized for the
same functions with additional activities since it will be
conducted with a face-to-face learning approach. The
utilization of workstations for a not ladderized approach
will be integrated.
Synchronous Activities. The first activity is
conducting a pre-assessment. The main objective of this pre-
assessment is to determine the students' prior knowledge
regarding the learning task in core
competency one. The self-assessment guide will be used to
determine the skills of the students. It is a survey
checklist containing all the learning tasks in core
competency one that is answerable by yes or no only. If the
students claim or present a certificate that they can do a
learning task, the teacher will facilitate a practical
examination to validate it. If the student passes the
practical exam, the student will proceed to the next
learning task.
Moreover, the synchronous activities will be scheduled
for two days weekly to give more time to apply content
learning. Another reason is that the CSS NC II is given only
two hours daily. The four hours will be utilized to discuss
topics related to each core competency, quizzes,
clarifications, an accomplishment of achievement chart, an
activity matrix, and a progress chart. Additionally, it can
be used to access LAN and WAN connections provided in the
computer laboratory for their research and clarification
about the topics.
Furthermore, since the core competencies will not use
the ladderized approach for each main competency, the
trainer can utilize the time for instructing every trainee
in their respective area.
Asynchronous Activities. The learning objective is to
get the students involved in learning task activities that
will enhance their mastery and proficiency in performing the
proper step-by-step procedures related to installing and
configuring a computer system. The student's progress will
depend on their performance. The student's progress will be
self-paced. The teacher will prepare four working stations,
and each station will be composed of six desktop computers.
The first station will be available to the students after
they have watched the instructional videos entirely and
passed the short quiz for that learning task.
Additionally, the students with the same learning task
can practice and enhance their group skills because peer
learning helps them learn faster. To evaluate if the student
is ready for the next learning task, using the assessment
guide, the teacher will facilitate a practical examination
to assess if the student is competent. Also, to assess the
student's proficiency, the teacher must set a time limit for
the task. Additionally, as part of the innovation of this
flipped classroom, three days will be allotted for
asynchronous activities. The reason is to give more time for
applying learning outcomes in core competency.
Also, to utilize the limited learning resources,
particularly desktop computers, this version will introduce
workstations for every core competency. With the use of an
activity matrix, the trainees can proceed to the workstation
that will be allotted to them after the pre-assessment. This
version will not be a ladderized approach, wherein the
trainees can start on four core competencies according to
their assignment in the activity matrix.
The ideas presented in activities (asynchronous and
synchronous) are based on Janique Oudbier (2022) identified
six key elements that influence how well the flipped
classroom works: implementation, task characteristics, out-
of-class activities, and in-class activities. Among the
mediating factors is the learner's level of self-regulated
learning, the teacher's role and motivation, the assessment
technique, and guidance during self-study through prompts or
feedback. Also, according to Jensen et al. (2015), students
in a flipped classroom may be able to participate in peer
instruction, group discussions, and other interactive
learning settings. Students can apply course topics to real-
world problem-solving and decision-making situations.
PROPOSED FLIPPED CLASSROOM COMPUTER LABORATORY
The study's proposed arrangement of learning resources
will be utilized to implement the self-paced, collaborative,
and peer teaching-learning approach; found in this study
that this type of strategy was effective in developing the
skills of the learners under flipped classroom approach.
Furthermore, the classroom will be divided into
different areas, which are the following: four workstations,
printed learning resources, monitoring tools, LAN network,
and instructional areas. The first is the four workstations
divided into four according to the core competency of the
computer system servicing NC II. Every workstation has
learning outcomes that need to be performed by the learners
under a given period.
The next area is the instructional area, intended to
assist the learners in accessing the instructional videos
and Servicing NC II Computer Laboratory soft copies of pdf
modules and for teacher's discussion on learner's
clarification. The next area is the printed learning modules
and printed learning
Figure 3: Proposed Innovative Flipped Classroom for Computer
System
resources wherein the learners can assess to help them
understand the purpose of learning outcomes and its concept-
related information. Next is the monitoring tool area. This
activities to be accomplished.The last area is the local
area
area can provide the learners' progress details and network,
where the learners can download instructional videos to
their smartphones. A LAN connection does not need internet
access to transfer data.
Moreover, this design will ensure that the surroundings
are conducive to learning, as it was found to be one of the
main problems in flipped classroom version 1.0.
UTILIZATION OF LOCAL AREA NETWORK AND WIDE AREA NETWORK
Even the instructional videos will be distributed
together with the DepEd netbooks. This version will create a
LAN connection for the trainees to access their
instructional videos without using any internet service
provider connection. The main purpose is to let the learners
access the instructional videos using their smartphones
while familiarizing the step-by-step procedure of their
learning task.
Additionally, even though the students provided an
instructional area for watching videos, their smartphones
will help lessen the number of students using the computers
in this area. The server will be provided for the trainees
to download and access the videos.
Moreover, the wide area network will be used for
searching the world wide web for clarification regarding the
lessons. A MikroTik router will be used to give lease time
for students to use the internet connection.
c. Post-Training Activities
Practical Assessment. The trainees must perform all the
learning tasks in a core competency assigned before
proceeding to the following core competency in CSS NC II.
The teacher will use an assessment checklist to validate the
trainee's skills and proficiency. The trainees must complete
the task to pass the assessment within a given time.
Validating the students' proficiency before proceeding to
the next competencies will help them train under time
pressure based on the given assessment time in TESDA and
attain the six- and thirty-minute time frame for the four
core competencies.
The practical assessment in this version will ensure
that the student can achieve the standard set by TESDA.
Assessor validates assessment in four areas in CSS NC II, an
assessor provided by this institution. If the trainees aim
to achieve an NC II certificate, they must follow the
standard given by this department.
Training with the given standard is necessary to
achieve the NC II certificate. It will only be possible if
the trainees are exposed to the true nature of assessment
under time pressure. Repeatedly exposing the student to the
actual training will help them to learn and execute the
skills within the given time frame.
Kolb's experiential learning theory supports the above
narrative that learners must be exposed to a real scenario
wherein they can practice what they have learned by
"learning by doing." thus, the trainer used practical
assessment to validate the trainee's skills proficiency.
Institutional Assessment. The main goal of
institutional assessment is to ensure that the trainees are
ready for the NC II assessment that TESDA will conduct in an
assigned testing center. In this assessment, the trainee
must perform all learning competencies in the four core
competencies in CSS NC II. The allotted time for this
assessment is seven hours. The trainee must perform the task
properly from COC 1 to COC 4. Also, the trainer must assess
the trainee's skills and proficiency using an assessment
checklist.
Assessing the trainees' proficiency level in four areas
will determine if they are ready for the NC II certificate
Assessment conducted by TESDA's assessor. Also, it will
serve as a trainer guide to provide intervention to those
trainees that still need to be qualified to take the
assessment.
Conducting an assessment of the trainees before the NC II
certificate assessment will give the trainer enough time to
create a learning strategy to help those students that still
need to be qualified. Also, It will give them motivation and
confidence to take the assessment if they pass the
Institutional assessment.
According to Krueger (2022), the flipped classroom
recognizes that everyone begins to learn at a different
speed and utilizes a learn-at-your-own-pace method of
instruction. Also, Anna (2020) stated in her study that
higher levels of self-discipline are required in the flipped
classroom approach. Flipped learning's learner-centered
orientation may be disadvantageous for students who need
help with self-discipline. Learners must be motivated to
engage with learning content and devote sufficient time to
learning. The trainers are responsible for ensuring that the
student is motivated while learning.

CHAPTER V
FINDINGS, CONCLUSION, AND RECOMMENDATION
This chapter presents the overall view and results of
the study undertaken by the researcher. The study reported
implementing the virtual flipped classroom approach in SHS-
CSS in Eduardo V. Agomaa National High School under JDVP and
flipped classroom innovation.
This study utilized the descriptive study design to
document the trainees' learning plans, activities, issues,
and challenges and propose a flipped classroom that benefits
the students' computer systems and servicing of Eduardo V.
Agomaa National High School. The respondents consisted of 1
teacher and 21 students who were purposively selected. The
study made use of a researcher-made survey checklist
questionnaire.
OBJECTIVE 1
Document the implementation of the virtual flipped
classroom approach in SHS-CSS in Eduardo V. Agomaa National
High School under JDVP.
FINDINGS
1. Pre-Training Activities. The pre-training activity
documented in this training is the probing question by
asking
questions verbally.
2. In-Training Activities. The trainer utilized the
learning plan, achievement chart, progress chart, and
activity matrix. The activities were divided into two
synchronous and asynchronous. The issues and challenges
documented in this training were technical and domestic
matters.
3. Post-training Activities. The documented activity
for post-training was institutional assessment.
CONCLUSIONS
1. Pre-Training Activities. The trainer assesses the
prior knowledge of the trainees to save resources and time.
The prior knowledge guides the student toward the learning
task of core competencies one and two.
2. In-Training Activities. The training plan ensured
the trainer's availability, learning resources, and
equipment for every learning competency in CSS NC II. The
learners must be exposed to a real scenario wherein they can
practice what they have learned from the content in actual
application. Issues and challenges mainly arise because of
geographical location and the need for parent awareness.
3. Post-Training Activities. Institutional assessment
is
a way to assess the effectiveness of a trainer's training.
Assessment is necessary at the end of the training to assess
whether the learner has acquired knowledge and skills along
the program.
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Pre-Training Activities. A checklist that is
answerable by yes or no will save time in assessing the
learners' acquired learning before the training. Creating a
self-assessment guide to help the trainees identify their
prior knowledge will be a good start instead of asking them
verbally. Orientation should be held before the in-training
activities.
2. In-Training Activities. The teacher must determine
the learner's prior knowledge. Establishing a working
station and LAN network would resolve internet connection
issues. Regarding parental support, the teacher must conduct
an orientation before the training. Also, conducting
learning insights can be utilized for two days only per week
and three days for practical application.
3. Post-Training Activities Practical demonstration in
every core competency before proceeding to the next one
should be done. The institutional assessment will be given
once they pass the four practical demonstrations.
OBJECTIVE 2
This version focused on improving the issues and
challenges documented in the flipped classroom version one.
In determining the prior knowledge of the trainees, this
version will use a self-assessment guide checklist that is
answerable by yes or no. As part of the pre-activity, this
version suggested that the parent orientation should be
conducted before the in-training activities. The main reason
is to address the lack of parent support and disseminate
offline storage devices containing learning resources and
materials. In-training activities will be divided into two;
synchronous activities focused on learning content will be
twice a week, and the honing of skills for practical
application will be thrice a week. The proposed computer
laboratory workstations will address the need for standalone
computer desktops and utilize local area networks to share
learning resources in different media.
Lastly, the proposed practical assessment is a
prerequisite to the institutional assessment. To ensure that
the trainees will perform with proficiency in four core
competencies based on TESDA given standard before the
institutional assessment.
