Perceptions, Knowledge, and Beliefs of Secondary Literature Teachers on Online Streaming Services in Select Public Schools in North Cotabato, Philippines

Abstract

Online streaming services are one of the most utilized platforms to prepare teachers and students for a voyage of imagination and discovery in education. Nonetheless, the diverse potentials of online streaming services are not being fully harnessed in teaching-learning, particularly in literature classes. Hence, this quantitative study examined secondary literature teachers’ perceptions, knowledge, and beliefs on the use of online streaming services in their classes. The study employed adapted and pilot-tested survey questionnaires to the 75 literature teachers from the three municipalities of North Cotabato, Philippines. The results showed that respondents come from diverse socio-demographics. Regarding their perceptions, knowledge, and beliefs, the results revealed an overall mean of 3.2 with the description of agree, which indicates that, on average, teachers tend to agree with the use of online streaming services. The results suggest that most teachers have a positive perception of using online streaming services for teaching purposes. However, there is a weak negative relationship between the length of service and perceptions, indicating that teachers with more years of service tend to have lower perceptions of online streaming services in teaching literature. Similarly, there is a weak negative relationship between age and perceptions, showing that older teachers have lower perceptions while younger teachers have higher perceptions. Furthermore, the data provides strong evidence to reject the null hypothesis. Results in this study have been validated by the Technology Acceptance Model and Theory of Planned Behavior. Considering the significant findings, it is recommended that educational institutions should provide training and support to teachers to increase their perceptions, knowledge, and beliefs about the use of online streaming services in teaching literature classes.
