THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

This chapter presents the introduction, objectives, statement of the problem,

hypothesis, scope and limitation, and significance of the study.

INTRODUCTION

Face-to-Face lessons were not allowed for the academic years 2020–2021 and

2021–2022, because of the COVID–19 pandemic threat. After two academic years

without Face-to-Face classes, the students filled the vacant classrooms and halls of

public and private schools in the Philippines as the Department of Education (DepEd)

officially began the school year 2022–2023.

Due to the epidemic, most of them will be attending face-to-face lessons for the

first time in more than two years. Over 28.03 million students have enrolled in this

academic year's classes throughout public and private schools countrywide, according

to the Department of Education (DepEd).

The Philippines was among the few nations in the world whose schools had not

completely opened face-to-face classes for more than two years after the pandemic

struck in March 2020. On Wednesday, Vice-President and Education Secretary Sara

Duterte emphasized the value of face-to-face learning and referred to it as the greatest

choice for children in basic education.

 Duterte cited the recently released DepEd Order (DO) No. 44, which gave

private schools the choice to keep using blended learning modalities, during the 48th

Philippines Business Conferences and Expo.

 CHAPTER 2

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

This chapter deals with the literature and studies, foreign and local, which

were reviewed by the researcher. These are the literature and studies related to the

present study in terms of methodology and treatment of data which have significant

bearings on the problems being investigated and serve as a guide in the conduct of this

study.

Local Studies

(Hernandez, L., 2021) In the Philippines, distance learning replaced face-to-face

instruction modes of education for ways of learning. This needs a paradigm shift in

schools to provide more diverse courses platforms, but with the same degree of

expertise and competence.

(Lam et al., 2018) Even though both professors and students are involved, students

must have some control over learning time, location, path, or pace in technology

environments. Because student involvement is a precondition for successful learning,

developing high student engagement in both face-to-face and technology contexts is

crucial for the delivery of effective blended learning.

Prior research by Edward et al. (2018) and Ghazal et al. (2018) showed that the

Blended Learning (BL) strategy improves students’ learning engagement and

experience by influencing students' awareness of the teaching mode and learning

backdrop.

Foreign Studies

Graham (2006) Blended learning is described as "the combination of the two

separate educational approaches, traditional face-to-face learning and distance

learning".

According to Alnajdi (2008,) blended learning combines two key components: in-person

classroom instruction and online learning. It strives to eliminate barriers to learning and

provide learners with more flexible access.

Blended learning is being used more frequently in academic conferences and

publications in higher education. As technology innovations continue to blur the

distinctions between remote learning and traditional campus-based learning, issues

concerning the design and implementation of blended learning environments (BLE) are

arising. Many colleges are beginning to see the benefits of combining online and

traditional classroom training. According to the Chronicle of Higher Education,

Pennsylvania State University's president recently stated that the confluence of online

and residential instruction is "the single-greatest underappreciated trend in higher

education today. (Young, 2002)

Local Literature

Students used a variety of strategies to cope with their problems with mental

health. During this COVID-19 pandemic throughout HEIs, it is critical to treat students'

mental health. (Baloran, E. T., 2020)

Alvarez (2022) Blended learning is still considered fresh and emerging in the

Philippines. However, the rising demand for blended learning raises issues and

obstacles that should be investigated, particularly in developing higher education

institutions, since they impede the effective and efficient delivery of teaching and

learning.

The traditional face-to-face relationship between teachers and students has been

abruptly replaced by distant learning. Various countries have implemented ways for

students to study in the midst of the pandemic, including the use of remote learning.

Some examples of learning options are Google, TV shows, guidelines, tools, video

lessons, and web networks (UNESCO, 2020).

Foreign Literature

There may be several difficulties when switching from a traditional to a hybrid

approach. These difficulties may be mostly related to the amount of time spent by
instructors and students as well as their level of effort and familiarity with online

platforms (Lotrecchiano et al., 2013)

(Baomin, Qing, & Fenglei, 2022) Blended learning combines offline and online

learning has become to be a crucial tool for advancing educational reform and creativity.

However, the outcomes of recent empirical investigations differ on how blended learning

affects students' performance, which calls for additional research on the efficiency of

mixed instruction and associated elements.

(Johnson C. 2017) Although perceptions of blended learning were mainly positive, it

was not the only contributor in increased student engagement. Teacher-student

connections were seen by both students and teachers as having the strongest influence

on student involvement. Blended learning was thought to be very helpful for students

with various academic demands. Intrinsically motivated learners were able to advance

at their own pace, and other learners found it simple to finish make-up work. However,

fostering widespread student technological literacy was one of the difficulties of blended

learning.

Conceptual Framework

Independent Variable Dependent Variable

Challenges and
Adjustments the
Blended Learning Senior High
School Students
of CMIC is Facing

Figure 1. The Figure 1 shows the conceptual framework. This study has two different

variables, the independent variable and dependent variable. The independent variable

is the Blended Learning, while the dependent variable is the Challenges and

Adjustments the Senior High School Students of CMIC is Facing. It will help the study to

generate the relationship of the dependent variables in accordance to the new learning

system, the blended learning.

Theoretical Framework
This study is primarily premised and anchored on the framework of Vygotsky (1997), the

socio-cultural theory. Sociocultural theory is a new branch of psychology that examines

society's contributions to individual development. Sociocultural theory states how

society and culture influences development and behavior in case of changes. According

to Vygotsky, learning begins with interacting with other people. Thus, social interaction

is essential for learning and proper development.

The framework of Vygotsky was related to the present study since the research

was primed with blended learning: the challenges and adjustments of senior high school

students of CMIC with the new type of learning system.

Definition of terms

To have a better understanding of the terms used in the study, they are herein

operationally defined:

ADJUSTMENT- it was used in a way to clarify what the CMIC student's adjustments

were.

BLENDED/ BLENDED LEARNING- it was used in a way to describe how students

entered the CMIC school.

CORRELATIONAL- known as a statistical measure that indicates the extent to which

two or more variables change in relation to each other.

DEMOGRAPHIC- the demographic is already recognized population of factors such as

size, age, sex, growth, income.

DISTANCE LEARNING - any learning who not do a physical activity

FACE TO FACE LEARNING – any learning that does physical activities and in-person

communication.

FINDINGS-the action of finding someone or something.

OBSERVATIONAL - observation is called where we observe things

STUDY -a detailed investigation and analysis of a subject or situation

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODOLOGY

The chapter presents the methods employed by the researcher in soliciting the

needed data for the study and the methods and approaches used to give an appropriate

interpretation of the gathered data. It includes the research design, population and

sample of the study, research instrument, validation of the research instrument, data

gathering procedures, and statistical treatment.

Research Design

The descriptive research method was used in the study. This study is intended to offer a

glimpse of the present situation. Quantitative research seeks to find correlations

between variables and to forecast future occurrences based on current information.

Bhandari (2021) defined quantitative research as the process of gathering and

analyzing numerical data. Furthermore, the study employed the descriptive correlational

method, which is a study designed to discover relationships between variables and to

allow the prediction of future events based on current knowledge, which can be

accomplished through surveys and observation or an observational instrument. The

descriptive correlational method employed the normative survey methodology and

assessment, which is often utilized to elicit opinions from respondents who can reflect

the aforementioned Senior High School Students of CMIC. In general, the researcher

employed a descriptive correlation study strategy to identify the challenges and

adjustments of senior high school students of cmic with the new type of learning

system. The usefulness of a mixed learning environment is investigated in this research

by examining the link between student characteristics/background, design aspects, and

learning results. It seeks to identify the key determinants of blended learning efficacy,

with student characteristics/background and design elements serving as independent

factors and learning outcomes serving as dependent variables.

According to the results of multiple regression analysis, blended learning design factors

(technology quality, online resources, and face-to-face assistance) and student

characteristics (attitudes and self-regulation) predicted student satisfaction as an

outcome. Some of the student characteristics/backgrounds and design aspects are

important determinants of student learning outcomes in blended learning, according to

the findings.

Population and Sample of the Study

There were a group of respondents in the study. These were the Senior High

School Students of CMIC. They were the primary sources from which the researcher

sought useful information to achieve their objective in this study.

Random sampling is used in the study. Only 236 were selected out of a total

population of 575 senior high school students as respondents. It is used as the basis for

the sample size. They were the primary sources from which the researcher sought

useful information to achieve his objective in this study.

Research Instrument and Validation
The researcher prepared a survey questionnaire based on the challenges and

adjustments of senior high school students of CMIC with the new type of learning

system

Part 1. This part of the questionnaire collects all the email addresses of the

respondents. Here, a short description of the survey questionnaire including the terms

and policy was stated.

Part 2. This part of the questionnaire measured the level of readiness of senior

high school students in terms of Safety Protocols, Academic Performance and Financial

Stability.

Part 3. This part of the questionnaire measured the problems that the

respondents were facing in terms of Meeting Deadlines, Socializing, and Commuting.

The research instrument utilized a five-point rating scale in which the respondents

affirmed their point of view on the challenges of senior high school students through

Always (5), Often (4), Sometimes (3), Rarely (2), and Never (1).

Data Gathering Procedures

The instrument was validated and reliability was tested, a set of questionnaires

was given to the respondents detailing the objective of the research and a copy of

drafted questionnaire. Addressed concerns of the letter as regards the conduct of the

questionnaire would be administered to selected respondents of the study.

 The researcher personally administered the distribution of the questionnaire to

the Senior High School Students and made themselves available for their questions and

clarifications. The retrieval of questionnaire must be made themselves personally and

electronically.

The gathered data were tallied, tabulated, analysed and statistically treated.

Statistical Treatment
The following statistical tools were used by the researcher to better interpret the

gathered data of the study:
