Abstract

Online learning greatly supports the offering of distance education by providing innovative platforms. This study examined graduate students’ perceptions of online learning as a basis for offering distance education. It utilized the concurrent mixed method. The respondents of the study are the graduate school students at La Consolacion University, Philippines, enrolled during the 2nd trimester of the school year 2022–2023. The quantitative results of the study have a weighted mean of 3.71, which showed strong agreement on online learning activities, strategies, media, and support instruments. Qualitative analysis revealed three perceived advantages: innovative engagement, convenience, and flexible scheduling. It was then concluded that the study highlighted that online learning could be an effective and innovative practice for graduate school students. Constant efforts must be made to improve the online learning environment in response to student feedback and to alter educational paradigms to preserve the high standard of online education.  The findings imply that distance education programs should continue enhancing online learning activities, strategies, and tools to sustain positive student perceptions. With convenience, flexibility, and innovative engagement as key advantages, institutions must invest in digital resources, faculty training, and support systems while ensuring continuous feedback to maintain quality and relevance in graduate education.

Abstract

The study aimed to evaluate the effect of peer-based learning on the problem-solving skills of students in marine transportation, providing evidence-based suggestions for the development of maritime curricula. During the second semester of the 2024–2025 academic year, 80 third-year students enrolled in SEAM 6 (Trim, Stability, and Stress of a Vessel) at the College of Maritime Education, Dr. Yanga’s Colleges, Inc., participated in the true experimental design. Participants were randomly assigned to either a peer-based learning group or a conventional individual learning group. Validated problem-solving activities were employed to collect data, and t-tests were used in the statistical analysis to identify performance differences between groups. Results showed that students who engaged in peer-based learning consistently performed better than those in the traditional learning group, as seen by their noticeably higher exercise scores, according to the data. The t-test results highlighted the practical value of the findings by confirming statistical significance and demonstrating a significant effect size. A training program was created in response to these findings to encourage the incorporation of peer-based teaching techniques in skill-based marine courses. These findings provide empirical evidence for the implementation of cooperative learning methodologies in maritime training programs, demonstrating their effectiveness in technical education. By highlighting how peer engagement improves student comprehension, skill development, and overall competency, the study advances educational philosophy. Practically, peer-based learning can promote improved performance in technical topics and a deeper grasp of the material. Future research is recommended to investigate the impact of peer-based learning on information retention.
