Abstract:

The novel virus called COVID-19 is an infectious respiratory illness that rapidly spreads worldwide. It was discovered on January 9, 2020, and declared a pandemic on March 11, 2020, by the World Health Organization (WHO). The COVID-19 pandemic is causing not only life interruption, disease, and death but also poses a threat to the psychosocial well-being of the students. Through extensive literature review, the researchers found no studies concerning the psychosocial well-being of the Bachelor of Technology and Livelihood Education (BTLEd) students during the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, the main objective of this study is to discover the home environment experiences among eight purposely selected BTLEd students at the University of Science and Technology of Southern Philippines-Cagayan de Oro (USTP-CDO). An online interview with recording was conducted utilizing a validated semi-structured interview guide in data collection. This study employs Phenomenology under qualitative research design and conventional content analysis techniques to analyze and interpret the data narratives of the participants. The study's findings revealed that the BTLEd students experienced problematic home staying and frustrating family circumstances during the pandemic crisis. Thus, the researchers concluded that the BTLEd students' home environment experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic significantly negatively impacted their psychosocial wellbeing. This paper includes recommendations for future research.
