Abstract
Introduction-Educational institutions worldwide were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Many schools shifted education to online platforms to continue teaching and learning. UNESCO (2020) mandated the different learning modalities, including TV-based learning, to clarify this issue brought about by the pandemic.
Purpose-This study explores the pedagogical perceptions and experiences of the grade 12 students on Teleskwela as an educational Television (TV) program at a local network called Central Luzon Television 36 to serve Kapampangan students and teachers during the time of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methodology-This study is an exploratory research design using a validated semi-interview questionnaire with in-depth interviews with twenty SHS students, and document analysis. Thematic analyses were used in analyzing the data.
Findings- The result shows that students varied perceptions such as they perceived Teleskwela as (1) a teachers and learners-friendly platform, (2) promotes transformative learning experiences through the use of media and technology, and (3) offers a quick guide to understanding the critical science concept. However, there are several challenges that students and teachers are faced with: (1) the length of each episode and module (2) the planning and scheduling of Teleskwela episodes (3) unstable internet connection (4) unfavorable learning environment at home for many students.
Conclusion- Based on the result of this study, it is concluded that Teleskwela is a good alternative learning material and platform because it is a friendly platform for the learners, motivates students to learn, and offers a quick guide to understanding science concepts, However, some challenges need to be addressed in order to achieve the effectiveness even though it is evident that Teleskwela serves as a good teaching and learning platform to help the students easily understand science concepts during this time of the pandemic.
Recommendation- The result of the study recommended that Teleskwela needs to be reviewed in terms of length of episode and module and provide more contextualized examples so that students could relate more to it.
