Abstract:
The shifting of educational setup to flexible learning during the Covid-19 pandemic subsequently brought challenges, both to the educators and to the learners, especially for courses that require hands-on demonstration such as Computer-Aided Designing (CAD). Such challenges affected the academic performance of college students in Philippine state universities. To shed light in understanding the academic performance of CAD students, this study identified four determinants: learner factor, Teacher factor, parental guidance, and learning facilities. 165 students who are taking CAD courses from three colleges in a state university located in Northern Mindanao, Philippines responded to the online survey. Results of multiple regression analysis revealed that all four factors have an explained variance of 81.2% toward the academic performance of the students. Moreover, learner factors and parental guidance significantly influenced the academic performance of CAD students. Alternately, Teacher factor and learning facilities reported otherwise. Recommendations for future studies are discussed in this study.
