Stressors and Coping Strategies of Teacher Education Students on Online Learning: A Quantitative Study

Abstract

This study identifies the stressors and coping strategies employed by education students at the College of Teacher Education at Western Mindanao State University during their online learning. The respondents of this study were 80 first- to fourth-year education students. The descriptive correlational and quantitative research approaches were used in this study since they will determine the significant difference between stressors when grouped according to gender and coping strategies when grouped according to gender. To conduct this study, a five-point Likert scale survey questionnaire was employed to collect the data. The result shows that there was no significant difference observed in the type of stress that teacher education students experience when data is grouped according to gender. The result also shows that there was no significant difference in the coping strategies that the teacher education students employ when data is grouped according to gender.
