Abstract

This paper presents the learning engagement of Food and Beverage Services (FBS) students of Matanao National High School in distant learning. Phenomenology was used to collect data from 20 junior and senior high school students in the Food and Beverage Services curriculum at Matanao National High School, Poblacion, Matanao, Davao del Sur, who were divided into three groups of Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and Key Informant Interviews (KII). Results revealed that during the COVID-19 pandemic, students’ learning engagement in distant learning resulted in negative and positive experiences. Results identified three core themes related to negative experiences: learning environment barriers, lack of understanding and knowledge on task, and unstable internet connection. One positive experience showed that students with distant learning still have a positive attitude for doing hands-on activities in the FBS subject. Furthermore, results revealed that lack of understanding and knowledge on task about the topic and unstable internet connection was the most challenging one, especially in doing the hands-on activities in FBS. Moreover, they overcame the obstacles, problems, and roadblocks they encountered while learning remotely by using self-motivation, discipline, and proper time management and focus.
