Abstract

COVID-19 resulted in a broader gap in economic and educational inequalities. The abrupt shift to online learning forced educational stakeholders in developing economies to revisit policies, strategies, and pedagogies to sustain education despite contemporary challenges. For some students, COVID-19 and online learning ushers in an unexpected opportunity: to continue pursuing their university degrees while maintaining their job. In this phenomenological inquiry, we approached working university students in the Philippines to explore their lived experiences during COVID-19 in their roles as students and workers. Guided by the Self-determination Theory, our analysis revealed three prominent themes that motivate this specific group of learners: learn asynchronously, acquire support and engage socially.
