Perceived User Awareness, Readiness, and Adaptability of Learning Commons Model in Selected Local Government Unit College Libraries in Metro Manila

Abstract This study aimed to determine the perceptions of user awareness, readiness, and adaptability towards the Learning Commons Model in some selected Local Government Unit (LGU) college libraries in Metro Manila. Based on Rogers’ Diffusion of Innovations Theory, Bandura’s Social Learning Theory, and Organizational Readiness for Change, a descriptive-correlational approach was used in this study wherein the relationship of various factors affecting the users' response to the Learning Commons Model will be determined. Survey questionnaires with high reliability indices were distributed to 365 college students at the Dr. Filemon C. Aguilar Memorial College of Las Piñas and Parañaque City College.
Results have shown that respondents were moderately aware (M = 3.19) regarding the Learning Commons across the three environments, where their awareness is higher when it comes to sociocultural and physical dimensions compared to their virtual services. However, it was also found out that the respondents have a high level of readiness (M = 3.38) which means that there was a willingness to use the Learning Commons resources. Also, respondents displayed adaptability in the Learning Commons ranging from moderate to highly adaptive (overall M ≈ 3.30). This shows that students can change their way of learning depending on the environment offered by the Learning Commons especially in physical and sociocultural spaces, but less so in virtual spaces due to difficulty in navigation.
Moreover, the correlation test resulted in significant relationships between awareness, readiness, and adaptability of the Learning Commons users. The higher the awareness, the higher the readiness which consequently results in user adaptability. The research identified a gap between awareness and utilization specifically in virtual and specialized services which suggests the need to improve the orientation, marketing, and promotion, as well as user digital literacy. Also observed was a contextual issue since the Learning Commons is situated within resource-limited LGU institutions. Based on this study, an action plan is recommended to address the issue.
