CHAPTER 1

Background of the Study

As the positivity rate of Covid-19 in the Philippines started to decrease, the Department of
Education (DepEd) together with the Department of Health (DOH), have supported and
implemented the re-opening of face to face classes for S.Y 2022 – 2023. But as the students
started to venture once again to the old type of learning modality, many old behaviors and habits
acquired during the online classes might influence the psychological and behavioral habits of
students that may serve as a hindrance to their overall performance in school.

A study by Wan Ling in 2021 stated that during the online classes, many college students
especially those on the higher levels were easily being stressed or depressed due to the
lockdown around their area. It is also stated that most students are in need of psychological
consultation as the learning modality that they are going into negatively affects their
performance in school.

Psychological habits are behaviors that are repeated and might influence an individual
positively or negatively depending on the factors that revolves around them. Changes in
psychological and behavioral may serve as an indication that the type of learning modality
greatly affects the changes in terms of a student’s habits and this changes in habits may have
an impact to their overall performance in school.

Currently, the Department of Health together with the Department of Education are on the
looks for the possible effects of the sudden changes in the learning modality to the behaviors of
the students especially for those students that are too young and not prepared enough to go
back once again to the face to face classes after almost two years of attending online classes
inside their houses.

Statement of the Problem

Generally, this study wanted to identify the Psychological and Behavioral habits of
students that were developed and changed before and after the re-opening of face to face
classes.

Specifically, this study aimed to answer the following questions:

1. Is there a significant difference in the psychological and behavioral habits of students

during the blended learning and face to face learning approach?
2. What are the influences of blended learning to the psychological behavior of the
students?
3. What are some noticeable changes in the psychological behavior of the students during
the implementation of face to face classes?

Objectives of the Study

This study aims to compare the psychological and behavioral habits of Grade 12
students of SHSWBES before and after the implementation of face-to-face classes.

Specifically, this study aims to:

a. determine the effects of blended learning modality on the student’s psychological

behavior;
b. assess whether or not these habits affect the student’s academic performance in face to

Independent Variable Dependent Variable

Change in the
Type of Learning Modality Psychological and
Behavioral Habits

In the figure above, it can be observed that the type of learning modality is the
independent variable and change in the psychological and behavioral habits as the dependent
variable. It is also shown that there is a one directional relationship presented in the figure since
the change in the psychological and behavioral habits are possible influenced by the type of
learning modality that the students is currently engaging to. Also, depending on the type of
learning modality, different psychological behaviors are being developed into the students that
may influence their school performance.
