According to Stauffer (2022), traditional instruction is used to introduce concepts and give
students opportunity for group activities. Meanwhile, online learning is used to improve the
educational content when paired with traditional instructions. The combination of the two is what
makes learning more understandable. Students and teachers are able to explore many ways in
acquiring and providing knowledge respectively. When dealing with the students’ different
learning styles, the use of blended learning is what destroys the barrier in gaining knowledge.
association and the use of different mode of learning affects the presentation skills of learners
through a study that conducted a pre-test and post-test to assess presentation skills of learners.
The result shows significant improvement in the blended mode among others. Since it is evident
that blended learning is more effective, new implementations will be addressed along with the

Local Literature
An article Learning from the Problems and Challenges in Blended Learning: Basis for
Faculty Development and Program Enhancement states that in the Philippines, blended
learning is still in a phase of development. However, there are limitations and challenges
associated with this increased demand for blended learning that needs investigation, particularly
in newly established higher education institutions, as they obstruct the effective and efficient
delivery of teaching and learning. It attempts to increase the number of instructions who are
speaking up about the difficulties they have when delivering blended learning.
Additionally, the student has a high level of self-efficacy. Most of the time, both manifest. The
efficiency of blended learning and students’ self –efficacy are significantly correlated. The
following aspects of a blended learning module’s effectiveness have an impact on students’ self-
efficacy: content quality, usability, and potential as a learning tool. To increase students’ self-
efficacy, the researcher advises teachers to attend seminars and training sessions focused on

Wang et al. (2015) said that blended learning is a complex subsystem because it involves
changing environment caused by different interaction ways among students in the learning
process. The students become more active when a specific part of the brain called cerebrum is
stimulated. It is where memory and reasoning occur that made students interested and responsive

Zaharah et al. (2015) explain that blended learning only serves as a path for students to
determine what learning method work best for themselves. The teachers only function as
facilitator to create a meaningful learning environment. Students will no longer need to consume
time understanding concepts in the wrong way. While students are exploring their learning style,
it will be beneficial if they will be using it not only for academic purposes but as well as other
Local Studies
In the related study of Barrot et al. (2021), the new normal had impact on the mental
health and coping mechanisms of college students. The students raised their concerns on the
technical difficulties and overwhelming tasks. To cope with the problems, they seek help from
teachers and relatives and engage themselves in leisure activities. This elaborate that learning is
not only about understanding and knowing what instructional materials to be used. Emotions also
Salac and Kim (2016) conducted a related study that explains the slow internet connection
in the Philippines is due to limited internet infrastructure, outdated laws and red tape that hinder
the quick installations of cell towers. With this, the internet is not only slow and costly, students
are having difficulties in coping with the new normal and advancement of technology as a means
of communication. The consequence will only give students hardship in understanding concepts

Through the associated literature and studies given, the researchers were able to gain useful
information. The materials provided gave significant insights into the researchers’ perspective on
the subject issue. Taken together, the different studies and literature laid the foundation for this
study, which will be built on and used in the analysis of the data to be gathered. According to
several researches, blended learning gives advantages as well as disadvantages to students and
individual involved and is affected in the learning process. Students can assess their learning
styles through blended learning. Although the slow internet connectivity hinders the efficient
learning process, students find ways in dealing with the situation since it is the new normal

it effective for every learner. However, it has provided an opportunity to use the existing
The researchers opted to focus on the perception of blended learning among the grade 7

The researchers aimed to determine the notions behind blended learning and its goal with
the help of related literature and studies. The researchers studied the situation and discovered

Theoretical Framework
This research is anchored on the theories which had been made known and validated by a
According to David Kolb, concrete experience transformed into effective learning. The
involvement of students including their senses, emotions, and personality is what makes learning
truly experiential. The environment also impacts on the way students process information
because it affects how they feel. There is realization created when an experience is interpreted in
a new way that guides an individual on how to deal with something. The new ideas are then
applied in real-life situations to assess what will work best and adjustments to be made if needed.
Howard Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligence (1983) asserts that individuals learn
in different ways and that there is a need for reform in educational curriculums. Instead of going
through a curriculum that is a mile wide and an inch deep, students should focus on their true
Jean Piaget pointed out that gaining knowledge is constructed. Through interactions with
the environment, individuals are subjected to change and examine their experiences. There is no
objective reality on learners regarding the things they should know. Individuals have different
intelligence they can use to construct meaning. Communication with others helps construct
meaning and knowledge based on their needs and own representations. Basically, students don’t
just receive information but rather interpret a new idea out of it.
