INTRODUCTION
The world was faced with an extraordinary epidemic of COVID-19 in the first half of
2020. Due to these characteristics, teachers and students were forced to immediately move their
classes online to prevent the spread of the virus that causes COVID -19. This problem has
presented new opportunities and challenges to the world education system. This approach offers
a unique opportunity for the advancement of online education. However, other research has
revealed that online teaching during the crisis is not of high quality, indicating that this type of
learning can only be used as a particularly temporary strategy. A few years later, the face-to-face
class returned due to the slight spread of the virus. Some students are changed when they enter
the face-to- face class because of the online class, because some students in the online class do
not listen to what the teachers are teaching. Thus students can begin to understand the learning
process with the help of strategies, which also enable them to overcome their areas of weakness
This study, categorized learning strategies into three groups: organization, elaboration,
and metacognitive self-regulation. To mobilize different awareness and behavior to engage in the
learning process, students use metacognitive self-regulation strategies in particular, which can
information can be enhanced by using elaboration strategies to create connections between new

Learning strategies can be divided into several categories. Metacognitive, social-affective
approaches to learning fall into these three categories. The two groups that make up learning
strategies are indirect and direct strategies. The main purpose of using learning strategies is to
support the development of communication skills. They also help students become more
independent and self-controlled people. Learning strategies are also problem oriented and cover
By teaching students how to learn and how to apply their learn to solve issues and
succeed, learning strategy teaching focuses on methods that support the active learning process.
Teaching students how to create a study plan, assessing understanding of the topic, determining
the meaning of information, and evaluating their work are some of these tactics. Students who
engage in this type of self-regulated learning perform better in both online and face to face class
settings because it is the foundation for successful lifelong learning and involves developing
This section presents the related literature reviewed in the conduct of this study. Online
and face to face classes in Notre Dame University is discussed alongside with the learning
strategies of students.

Online Learning
According to Navarosa and Fernando (2020), distance learning today is the ‘new normal’
in the education system not only for colleges and universities but also for elementary and high
schools as well. This brought significant challenges for the students since they must now engage
in online distance learning which is totally different from their daily routines. They now
experience limited physical or in-person affiliation with peers although research suggests that
students typically enjoy taking online courses (Seiver & Troja, 2014).
Online learning takes place through the use of the internet and when the teacher and
students are physically separated. This type of learning setup allows for communication.
(Rossen, 2017). Online learning, which was highly recognized in the field of education is defined
as a learning process that allows students to access various learning resources at the same time
even though they are removed from the typical learning environment. The fact is that students
can have access to resources from a range of different sources using this online learning method.
Where they go and how they communicate with other students, as well as their teachers, are
completely up to them. Using synchronous and asynchronous learning apps on the internet, it
facilitates the acquisition of information and skills in a flexible manner. (Pillayet al., 2017).
One of the reasons why there is so much talk and studies about online learning is because
there are several stated advantages and applications for online learning. For example, its
effectiveness in educating students, its use as professional development opportunities, its cost-
effectiveness in combating the rising cost of college education, and the possibility of providing a

world-class education to anyone with a broadband connection are some of the most significant
benefits. In recent years, online learning in higher education has undergone transformations,
moving away from an instructor-led paradigm and toward a learner-centered paradigm through
the use of technology (Chung et al., 2020). Online learning has advantages and that the use of
intelligence and technology has made learning more accessible to more people. In this sense,
according to Chung et al. (2020), the students must be ready to learn in online learning platforms
to benefit from the advantages. Readiness in online learning is indeed crucial for the Online
Learning platform to be conducive in teaching and Learning process as without the readiness of
the students the platform will not succeed and achieve its purpose (Martin et al. (2020)
Numerous studies have been conducted to know if students are prepared for online learning.
Martin et al. (2020) investigated whether students were ready for online learning by looking at
how much importance they placed on online learning and how confident they felt about their
own abilities. Kussel et al. (2020) compared German and American students in their study,
where German university students were asked about their preparation for online learning and the
Philippines, where internet connections are slow and, taking into consideration the socio-
economic status of students, the purchase of digital phones and other essential technology that is
deemed necessary in the conduct of online classes is difficult for those from less fortunate

Synchronous and asynchronous learning in online class during the COVID-19 Pandemic
The mode of online learning varies based on the format and intensity of communication
between educators and students. Typically, it can be separated into two categories: synchronous
and asynchronous learning. Both of these learning modes require multiple learning presences
featured in the Community of Inquiry Framework to be highlighted in order to best benefit the
students. This is especially prevalent when noting that the face-to-face learning modality allows
for teaching and social presence to be seamlessly present within all portions of the course. For
online learning modalities, instructors must work to open lines of communication both between
themselves and students as well as between students and their fellow peers in order to optimize
the CoI framework (Rueter et al.,2019). Research hasshown that the CoI framework significantly
predicts the final course out comes of students participating in online learning (Rockinson-
Szapkiw et al.,2016).
Synchronous online learning occurs when students are taking part in a class lesson in
real-time as it is being taught. This allows students to actively participate in real-time discussions
and work on their social presence of CoI during class time. Students and educators can
communicate with one another as the course is occur-ring, allowing for classes to be discussion
based with student-led conversations. While all aspects of CoI are important, in virtual classroom
settings teaching presence is the most prevalent indication of a positive course outcome

and asynchronous learning is autonomous learning that takes place at various times. Arfah et al.
(2021) For online learning to become successful, educational institutions and organizations can
when all the participants interact at the same time. In contrast, asynchronous learning allows
participants to exchange ideas and information without the dependency of other participants
asynchronous online conversations (Malik et al., 2017). Teachers and students can establish a
better connect and enhance communication effectively with the help of synchronous methods.
Different spaces can be utilized to facilitate synchronous learning, say Moallem (2015),
According to Giatman et al. (2020) The Covid-19 pandemic has given a great impact on
the implementation of learning at every level of education. The virtual classes suddenly replaced
the common face-to-face ones. The sudden replacement could have some negative impacts on
the learning processes and outcomes. The research result showed that students experienced
emotional exhaustion, physical and cognitive fatigue, and lack of motivation during online
learning. The condition makes the course materials tend to be more difficult to understand
meaningfully. The lack of understanding and many assignments were given by lecturers caused
online learning processes tended to be ineffective. The ineffectiveness of learning processes was
also caused by an unstable internet connection, especially for students in rural areas. (Mulyanti
et al. 2020) The ineffectiveness of learning processes was also caused by an unstable internet

Synchronous learning fosters real-time feedback and interactions between the instructor and
participants. Synchronous learning may take place in a face-to-face environment, with all
participants being in the same physical location, or it may occur online, via a virtual platform or
videoconferencing technology. Asynchronous learning results when the instructor and learners
are not engaged in the learning process at the same time and real-time interactions with other
people are absent. There are several advantages to asynchronous learning since participants can
learn on their own time and schedule. A meta-study examining the effect of delivery timing
within distance education found greater student achievement with asynchronous teaching than
classroom instruction (Stack, 2020) while a separate study employing random assignment found
that there was no statistically different performance on course exams for students in an online or
students’ knowledge, skills, or retention of material. Thus, it is reasonable to conclude that online
instruction should not pose an inherent danger to veterinary students, in terms of learning gains.
Blended learning
The Covid-19 pandemic has had a dramatic influence on the professional/personal lives
of academics. Jung et al. (2021) report the uncertainty associated with online/BL teaching has;
heightened faculty workload; disrupted work routines; and increased the prevalence of anxiety
and psychological issues associated with isolation. In a Dutch context, de Boer (2020) surmises
that the challenges associated with online teaching have made university employment a less

attractive proposition. Greenberg and Hibbert (2020) infer that given the toll that the Covid has
had on the private as well as professional lives of academics, particular attention should be paid
to post-traumatic stress. Belkhir et al. (2019) implies that early career researchers have the
potential to be negatively affected mentally due to the stress associated with Covid-19. Sangster
et al. (2020) collect qualitative data from 72 accounting academics in 30 countries with each
academic reporting context, challenges, reflections and future plans (amongst others). They find
that 48.3% consider that the modifications required to deliver lectures has increased stress levels.
Taken together, reflective studies acknowledge that the sudden and dramatic pivot from F2F to
BL and/or online teaching has had a negative impact on higher education practitioners.
develop new virtual frameworks. Sangster et al. (2020: 437) report that before the pandemic, a
blended approach has been considered tomorrow’s world. But following the pandemic, virtual
environments are expected to become a more common feature in Higher Education. Sangster et
al. (2020) report that optimism exists amongst academics about the opportunity to enhance
virtual learning environments. It is also reported that the implementation of BL can enhance
student experience. Using a case-study approach, Yang and Huang (2020) posit that whilst the
sudden change to teaching has disadvantages, the pandemic can expedite the development of
new online materials. They also interpret that BL has the potential to accommodate different
learning styles to become the ‘new normal’. Bettis (2020) surmises that whilst there are new
challenges when traditional universities adopt online teaching, the Covid-19 pandemic can be an

opportunity to enhance student experience by providing students with flexible deliveries via
recorded lectures. Baber (2021) shows that South Korean students have adapted to e-learning
during the Covid-19 pandemic, implying that the change from face to face to online was not
perceived negatively by students. Taken together, there is a consensus the pandemic has a
negative short-term influence on educators and academic institutions. However, some argue that
the Covid-19 pandemic has been an opportunity to enhance BL deliveries. Thus, one of the most
important questions for educators following the Covid-19 pandemic is whether BL and/or online
With the advances in online learning, flipped classroom model (FCM) has increased in
popularity as innovative learning practices for supporting higher education. As a new norm of
blended learning, the FCM reverses traditional teaching, and reorganizes the teaching time to
provide more class time for students to learn. Researchers documented that FCM offers
opportunities to study with rich course contents, at their own pace, providing a flexible learning
environment with technology support (Shih & Huang, 2020). While students are preparing for
the lesson with the materials out of class, they can do hands-on activities in the in-class sessions
(Bergmann & Sams, 2012). In the FCM, during out-of class sessions, students can participate in
online discussions while learning about course content by watching videos (Hosseini, Ejtehadi,
& Hosseini, 2020; Leatherman & Cleveland, 2020). In this period, learning management
systems, YouTube, blogs, wikis or etc. are used to understand the given content. Educators also
offer specialized online learning platforms (Wanner & Palmer, 2015). In the in-class sessions,

students are able to practice what they have learned at out-of class sessions within collaborative
group working, problem solving, discussing, and working on projects (Huang & Hong, 2016)
with instructors’ feedback and guidance. The learning model of blended learning has been going
on for a long time, especially since the development of information technology systems Idris
(2018). This makes all learning resources accessible online / offline. The blended learning model
allows teachers and students to do distance learning through video conferencing so that distance,
space and time are no longer a problem. Fully online and integrated learning that is, which
combines elements of an online class and face-to face has grown very rapidly in Western society
for a long time. The use of blended learning is not something new in the educational context.
Literature studies reveal that blended learning is widely used not only for learning receptive
language skills (reading, listening) and productive (speaking and writing), but also for teaching
language components, such as grammar and spelling. Mabuan and Ebron (2017) explored the use
of e-mail for teaching writing with a blended learning approach in the context of English as a
second language, in Manila. The results of his research show that e-mail is very useful in helping
improve the students’ ability to write English. The result also shows that the use of emails gives
the students the opportunity to collaborate and interact with peers, increase positive attitudes and
Furthermore, Mccall (2017) investigates the use of Facebook, to improve students’ ability to read
and write through classroom action research designs. In his research, the teacher created a micro
blog on Facebook and held classes online with all his students.The teacher posts pictures and

summary of the micro blog in the classroom by using a laptop or other smart phone and allowed

the experimental class, the students use the blended learning method. The students receive
feedback from peers and teachers through social media,complete assignments outside the
classroom, and submit them through an application. Meanwhile, the control class uses
conventional face-to-face methods. The students do not get mutual interaction, between peers
and from the teacher. Learning in the classroom also does not vary, because all are centered on
the teacher. The results of his study showed that students who learned by using blended learning
methods had better writing performance than students in the control group. In addition, this study
also revealed that 88% of students in the experimental class had the basic ability to operate
computers independently and 76% of them have better internet skills. This is all because these
students must participate in e-forum discussions, e-mails, and the use of other websites.

Theoretical Framework
This research topic used Jasmina Hasanbegovic theory of learning strategies to students.
The theory indicates that the learning strategies refers to students self-generated thoughts,
feelings, and actions that are systematically oriented toward attainment of their goals. Therefore,
which in turn should be encouraged by pedagogical designs. In this study, the method of the
study is for the students to be aware of and identify what learning strategies. Second learning
strategies awareness is crucial for students because it facilitate the creative learning process by
teaching students how to learn and how to use what they have learned to solve problems and be
successful.
This study limits its coverage to Grade 12 Students only at Notre Dame University-
Senior High School, Cotabato City. The general purpose of this study is to determine the effect
of Online and Face to Face class on student as well as to determine what problems students of
NDU-SHS have in face to face and online class. Furthermore, this research is only focused on
the learning strategies of NDU-SHS on online and face to face class; How learning strategies can
help the students of NDU-SHS. The conducting of close-ended questionnaires and gathering data
