ONLINE LEARNING AND EMOTIONAL PRESENCE OF SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
This study delved into the realm of emotional presence and its potential impact on students' academic performance
within collaborative online learning environments. While emotions were recognized as influential factors in the
learning process, the specific relationship between emotional presence and cognitive outcomes remained elusive,
particularly in the context of virtual classrooms. This research addressed a critical gap by investigating the
relationships between emotional presence and students’ academic achievements in online classes. An exploratory
sequential mixed-methods approach incorporating both quantitative and qualitative components was used. Fifty
(50) senior high school students engaged in online learning were selected through the purposive sampling
technique. Quantitative findings revealed that emotions did not exhibit a significant correlation with students'
academic achievements in the online learning environment. However, insights from the qualitative analysis shed
light on the emotional experiences of students, indicating negative emotions such as anxiety, fear, and
disappointment. Despite these challenging emotions, students were still capable of achieving favorable academic
outcomes. In conclusion, while the emotional presence of students may have been predominantly negative, their
academic achievements in online learning environments remained satisfactory. This suggested that learners could
effectively navigate and succeed within the virtual classroom setting, even in the face of emotional challenges.
Educators were encouraged to create supportive online learning environments that highly addressed students'
emotional needs alongside their educational requirements. By fostering emotional well-being, teachers could
enhance the overall learning experience and promote positive outcomes in virtual education
