Having a Moral Values and Improvement of Character in Increasing the

Strength of Mind of Every Students

Education dispels ignorance. It is the only wealth that cannot be robbed.

Learning includes the moral values and the improvement of character and the
methods to increase the strength of mind. Students are the recipients of sacred
and precious values imparted regularly by their teachers. As students, we want
education by which character is formed, strength of mind and knowledge
increases and makes us independent and to be kept forever. “If a man empties
his purse into his head, no man can take it away from him. An investment in
knowledge always pays the best interest” (Benjamin Franklin, 2010).

Having a Goal in Gaining a Overall Understanding of Described Text than

The goal therefore is to gain an overall understanding of what is described

in the text rather than to obtain meaning from the isolated words or sentences
(Springer, 2011).

Having a Transformed Teacher’s Instructional Practices by Developing New

Skills Using Technology

A study by Lowes at Columbia University found that teachers’ instructional

practices are transformed by learning how to teach online in developing new
skills and pedagogical strategies using technology (Lowes 2005).

Teachers Having an Effective Teaching Strategy to All the Learner’s Having

a Different Learning Style

All the educationists are well familiar with the fact that all the learner’s
have a different learning style, whereas the problem lies in catering to all of them
with an effective teaching strategy. Students learn in different ways as per their
capabilities. Some learn by seeing, hearing, reflecting, modeling, reasoning and
drawing etc (Felder, 2008).

Teacher’s Focusing on Teaching and Learning in Online Courses than in

the Traditional Setting

Interaction is the heart of online learning. Teachers have reported that

their interactions with students, parents and colleagues were more often focused
on teaching and learning in online courses than in the traditional setting
(Muirhead 2000).

Online Students Having a Advantage in Developing their Social Skills by

Involving Themselves in the Activities Outside the School Premises

The first significant research study on the socialization of students in full-

time, online public schools was published in 2009 by the Center for Research in
Educational Policy (CREP) at the University of Memphis in collaboration with
Interactive Education Systems Design (IESD). The results of this study provide
substantial evidence supporting the conclusion that students enrolled in full-time,
online public schools are at least as well socialized as equivalent students

enrolled in traditional public schools. The study found that online students might
have an advantage in their social skills development when they are highly
engaged in activities outside the school day involving both peer interaction and
activities not involving peer interaction (IESD, 2009).

Having a Distance Education for Elementary and Secondary Students in a

Solution to Several Educational Problems

In North America and other industrialized countries, distance education for

elementary and secondary students is seen as a solution to several educational
problems, including crowded schools, a shortage of secondary courses for
remedial or accelerated students, a lack of access to qualified teachers in a local
school, and the challenge to accommodate students who need to learn at a pace
or in a place different from a school classroom (Cavanaugh & Clark, 2007).

Having a K-12 Online Education in the Philippines is Seen as a Social and

Economic Development Strategy

The 12 years or more is in accordance with international practice as

stipulated in the Washington Accord, Bologna Process as well as in the ASEAN
and APEC Mutual Recognition Projects and much more. The much-needed
overhaul of the Philippine basic education system becomes a reality through
Republic Act 10533, also known as the Enhanced Basic Education Act which
was passed last May 2013 making the pre-university and basic education from
10 to 13 years (Congress of the Philippines, 2011).

In less industrialized nations, K-12 online education is seen as a social

and economic development strategy (Moore & Kearsley, 2005).

Thus, it is clear why K-12 distance education programs are developing

rapidly around the world and why growth in K-12 online course enrollments has
outstripped that of other educational formats in recent years (Setzer & Lewis,
2005).
