Implementation and evaluation of limited face to face classes: basis for adoption of health and safety manual
Abstract
The research study determined the adoption of the university’s health and safety manual in Dipolog City, Zamboanga del Norte, Philippines and the implementation and evaluation of limited face-to-face sessions. To gather information about the implementation and evaluation of the few face-to-face classes that formed the basis for the Health and Safety Manual, quantitative research and descriptive surveys were used. Purposive sampling was used to select a total of hundred (100) respondents from the respondent community. Frequency and percentage counting were the statistical techniques used to analyze the demographic profile of the respondents; weighted means were used to analyze the level of application of health and safety regulations during restricted face-to-face instruction. The findings showed that most respondents who answered the survey regarding the implementation of limited face-to-face classes in the University Dipolog City, Zamboanga Del Norte, were aged 18-21 years old, female, and first-year students. The results also showed that respondents strongly agreed with the risk of limited face-to-face classes and the opportunities of face-to-face courses. As a result, the implementation of few face-to-face classes was much implemented.
