December 2022 1 CHAPTER I THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND This chapter consists of introduction, background of the study, statement of the problem, hypothesis, conceptual/theoretical framework, scope and limitation of the study, significance of the study and definition of terms that will help the researchers to introduce and formulate the research. INTRODUCTION The present study is about the situation of Norzagaray College students that encounter the COVID-19 pandemic that has caused a lot especially the closure of academic school and has forced face to face classes into online learning. This research context compels students to experience new systems implemented learning modalities. The relevant factors that affect students in academic development is one of the main concerns of the students because it affects the academic efficiency and learner’s readiness because of encountering COVID-19 issues. Furthermore, the impact of blended learning is new to students who enrolled, and it really matters for some students to continue their study and others help their family to strive for everyday challenges that they encounter. The mode of learning has changed because of encountering multitask work at the same time wondering if they can survive without getting COVID-19 disease. The various research reviews show that students affect their academic skills. There is a sort of rapid changes that could somehow affect the consistency of learning in the era of “new normal” setbacks in the loss of student’s presence. 2 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY Education is essential to the development and growth of the nation. The unexpected occurrence of pandemic led the Philippines to continue the learning process by the means of an online platform. It was very challenging for the late teachers to adapt to the changes which forced them to adjust and learn the utilization of technology. Today’s students are classified as digital natives (Prensky, 2001). They are capable of using social media platforms to comfortably share and create meaningful ideas that can easily spread in the virtual world. Technology affects the way they visualize things, their communication capabilities, and learning strategies which is one of the main reasons behind implementation of the online system education. The researchers found significant relationships between learner’s readiness and the rest of the variables related to the academic experience of students. Specifically, students’ academic performances is associated with the quality of the classes received. Blended learning through synchronous and asynchronous has emerged to address these needs and has been adopted by various HEIs. Furthermore, it can help students develop critical twenty-firstcentury skills such as communication, information literacy, creativity, and collaboration and develop the ability to use digital technologies for various purposes (Zurita, Hasbun, Baloian, & Jerez, 2015). While they are necessary abilities, students' ability to learn them will depend on their mindset and preparedness to study in a blended learning setting. However, not all students and academic staff members are willing to adapt blended learning when it is introduced by their institutions. Despite the fact that this method of teaching and learning has numerous benefits for both students and academic staff, there are a number of things to take into account that could have an impact on how well it adapts. 3 CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK This section consists of concepts together with their definitions and reference to relevant scholarly literature, existing theory that will guide the proponent to come up with the utmost solution to prevent problem. This chapter holds or supports a theory of design project.

Data collection of students profile Administering questionnaire Organization of students response Statistical analysis of data Figure 1: Conceptual Framework The figure above IPO frame model visualizing three factors of Assessing the selected students on the “Implemented Learning Modalities of Norzagaray College 2022 - 2023” BSED students vary in their learning needs. It is widely recognized that it is important for teachers of Norzagaray College to deal with these variations by adapting instruction to students’ needs. 4 Several systematic meta-analyses have shown that the adaptation of instruction to the needs of students can lead to improved learning and achievement although it has to be noted that these studies include a wide variety of differentiation approaches between-class and within-class, homogeneous ability grouping, computerized adaptive instruction, individualized learning and that the effects found varied from no effects to moderate positive effects in the middle of the Covid19 pandemic during an online scenario. In order to adapt their instruction, teachers need to identify BSED students’ learning needs, and use this as a basis to make informed decisions about instructional adaptations. Identifying students’ learning needs can be carried out by collecting data from students to analyzing and interpreting these data. 5 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM This study was conducted to determine of how assessment on the synchronous, asynchronous, and limited face to face classes affects the academic efficiency and learner’s readiness of selected students of Norzagaray College. Specifically, the study aimed to provide answers to the following questions : 1. What is the demographic profile of the implemented learning learners at Norzagaray College in terms of : 1.1 Age 1.2 Gender 1.3 Income 1.4 Connection Provider 1.5 Location 2. How many assess the blended learning be described in terms of assess the : 2.1 Cost efficient 2.2 Time Management 3. How many assess the face to face be described in terms of : 3.1 Academic Efficiency 3.2 Learners Readiness 3.3 Professor - Student Interaction 4. How does the implemented learning modalities assess the BSED of Norzagaray College? 5. What recommendations can be made in order to address this concern? 6 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY The purpose of this quantitative study was to determine the modalities of the implemented learning of online and face to face classes to the academic efficiency and learner’s readiness of selected students of what they prefer in learning literacy during the pandemic that is currently happening. Educators will be able to analyze and observe these learning modalities that is one factor which contributes to the development among learning skills that is essential to students that will lead the future. Based on the findings, it will also help the teachers to know what pedagogical approach they are going to use that is relative to the mental stability of the learner. For Students. The present study will help the students to understand the implemented modalities to maximize their learning outcomes. For Professors/Instructors. This study will help the teachers to assess and evaluate the impact of online and face to face classes that need to be studied in order to improve the quality of education. For the School and the School Administration. This study will help the school to distinguish the effective ways on how to maximize the learning process of their students. For Future Researchers. The present study can help future researchers in intensive understanding and development of technological tools such as instructional materials that is one of the effective ways to utilize in pedagogical approach. SCOPE AND DELIMITATION The present study of “Assessment on the Implemented Learning Modalities” focused on 100 selected student - participants from 1st to 4th year College of Education in Norzagaray College. The study was conducted during the first semester of the academic year 2022 - 2023, and survey method of data gathering using google forms and printed questionnaires was used in order to gather necessary information about the respondents. 7 This study also used general weighted mean/s of the effectiveness of the blended and face to face learning and the academic efficiency of the students analyzed through correlation using the traditional correlation coefficient formula verified through correlation formula in excel. Any other respondents, place/study locale, data-gathering methods and statistical treatments aside from the aforementioned will not be part of the present study. DEFINITION OF TERMS The following terms are theoretically defined for better understanding of the present research study. All term-definitions were sourced from Merriam Webster Dictionary. Academic Performance The assessment of student performance in a variety of academic subjects. Communication (as between computers) in which there Asynchronous is no timing requirement for transmission and in which the start of each character is individually signaled by the transmitting. A method of learning which uses a combination of Blended Learning different resources, especially a mixture of classroom sessions and online learning materials. A mild to severe respiratory illness that is caused by a Covid-19 corona virus (Severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus 2 of the genus Beta corona virus), is transmitted chiefly by contact with infectious material (such as 8 respiratory droplets) or with objects or surfaces contaminated by the causative virus, and is characterized especially by fever, cough, and shortness of breath and may progress to pneumonia and respiratory failure. A person who was born or raised in the digital age and is Digital Natives thus familiar with computers and the internet from a young age. If you talk to someone face to face, you talk directly to Face to Face them, not by phone, email, online, etc. A previously unusual or unusual occurrence that has New normal now become commonplace, normal, or expected. (of learning or teaching) happening with Synchronous a teacher and group of students who are all taking part in a lesson at the same time, either physically together in one place or using the internet. Occurring over a wide geographic area (such as multiple Pandemic countries or continents) and typically affecting a significant proportion of the population 9 CHAPTER II REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES This chapter includes foreign and local studies related to the topic of preferences and were correlated and summarized materially and theoretically which helped the researchers in order to have a better understanding of the present study. Age Foreign Literature According to Koh and Lim (2012) also studied the relationship between age, academic performance, and the level of social interaction afforded by different web-based collaborative tools. As the age of the student decreased, the student’s preference for tools that allowed for more online means of communication increased. Younger students scored better on the assignment when they could chat online, post pictures, share biographical information, and share comment. Local Literature According to Social Weather Stations (SWS-2021), only 4% in Metro Manila said that they don`t use devices for distance learning, much lower compared to more than a half in the Visayas (56%) and Mindanao (58%), and more than a third in Balance Luzon (36%), at school aged 5 to 20 years old. Gender According to Ashong and Commander, 2012, it has been specifically argued that boys may benefit more than girls in the online classroom due to their higher perceived computer skills, comfort level, and involvement. 10 Income/ Economic Status Foreign Literature According to the U.S Census Bureau’s Household Pulse Survey (2020) That conversely, lowincome households reported higher rates of using paper materials sent home from school than highincome households do. Local Literature According to UNESCO, as of April 14, 188 countries around the world have closed schools nationwide, affecting over 1.5 billion learners and representing more than 91 percent of total enrolled learners. The world has never experienced such a dramatic impact on human capital investment, and the consequences of COVID-19 on economic, social, and political indicators are unknown but certainly will be dramatic. Among upper-middle income countries, more than 70 percent offer remote learning opportunities, using a combination of online and broadcast. A lower share of lower-middle income countries—66 percent—offer online and/or broadcast remote learning opportunities to their students. But even when governments of low- and middle-income countries are trying to offer online education materials, they will not reach most students. Only 36 percent of residents of lower-middle income countries, for example, have access to the internet, a statistic that cannot easily be improved during the pandemic. Connection Provider Foreign Literature According to Mohan et al. (2020) on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on second-level education finds that almost half of schools surveyed reported issues with a lack of access to highspeed broadband and/or a lack of access to appropriate digital devices for their students. 11 This figure increases to approximately 58% for disadvantaged schools and schools in catchment areas characterized by lower than median household incomes. Local Literature In a study by Fabito et al., (2020) the group revealed that one of the three barriers and challenges that students encountered in online learning was a good internet connection. Another related concept from Casillano (2019) indicated that only a minimum of the students has internet access thus impeding them to access the e-learning platform. Location Foreign Literature According to Wildana Wargadinata, Iffat Maimunah, Dewi Eva, Zainur Rofiq (2020) The corona virus disease (COVID-19) pandemic forced many universities to apply online learning. The design of this research is descriptive qualitative research. This study found online learning using the Whats App Group to be the most effective in the early COVID-19 pandemic. Whats App is easy, simple, and does not require a large data quota package. Through Whats App accounts, learning took place optimally because students and lecturers could communicate and share PowerPoint files, Microsoft Word files, JPGs, Voice Notes, Videos, and other learning resource links. The study recommends that other researchers uncover the solution to obstacles experienced by students in online learning and the development of other media to implement effective online lectures. Local Literature According to Maria Angela S Esteron (2021) stated that Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, faceto-face learning engagement of students and the teachers in the school has been suspended. 12 This pandemic has paved the way to the implementation of the different distance learning modalities as urgent response to ensure safety of the students and continuity of education. Online learning has merits and demerits. Online learning is efficient, affordable, and flexible. It can also suit various learning styles as a learning delivery modality. Online learning also has positive and negative implication to the values and ethics of the learners. Some of the positive implication to learners’ values is having persistence, self-discipline, and respect while having online learning. On the other hand, there is also a negative implication to learners’ values like online academic fraud. Equity in online learning in the Philippines is still in progress because not all learners can have a good internet connectivity, a device to use and technological literacy. Cost Efficient Foreign Literature According to Crompton et al. (2021) Students in low-income countries were less likely to have Internet access. Students and teachers may also require access to hardware such as laptops and mobile devices, keeping in mind that emergency situations are frequently accompanied by other financial difficulties. While meeting the needs of all learners, the availability of software and its applicability to language and other contextualized needs needed to be addressed. Many teachers had not received professional development in online teaching, and many felt unprepared to implement it. Teacher technology skills and knowledge were particularly lacking in low and low-middle income countries, such as Sub-Saharan Africa, with only 64% of primary and 50% of secondary teachers receiving even basic training. However, there were strategies to promote student learning and engagement, such as virtual nagging via text or phone and providing phone-based assessments. 13 Local Literature Students who are presently enrolled at a tertiary institution have been chosen by Rotas, E., & Cahapay, M. (2020). The content analysis revealed the following categories of remote learning difficulties such as unstable internet connectivity, insufficient learning resources; power outages, ambiguous learning contents; overloaded lesson activities; limited teacher scaffolds, poor peer communication, conflict with home responsibilities, poor learning environment, financial problems, physical health compromises and mental health struggles. Time Management Local Literature According to Manalo, F. K. B., Reyes, V. P., & Bundalian, A. M. B. (2022) The majority of students did not see obstacles in motivation, learning resources, a support structure, or digital self efficacy. Despite these positive outcomes, some students continue to struggle with issues including a lack of enthusiasm, a shaky internet connection, and lengthy assignments. Additionally, the vast majority of them saw potential in self - directed learning, learning outcomes, comfort and simplicity, and accessibility. Students take ownership of their education, advance their digital literacy, and sharpen their time management abilities. Academic Efficiency Foreign Literature According to Phuong Huu Tung, Tran Thi Thu Hang, Tran Thi Mai Huong, Nguyen Thi Hop Review of International Geographical Education Online 11 (2021) In recent years, many Vietnamese students have actively participated in mindfulness meditation courses, attracting the attention of 14 scholars. Research has shown that there is a "positive and significant relationship" between mindfulness meditation practice, vocabulary retention, and learning outcomes in students learning a foreign language. In particular, mindfulness meditation practice serves as a moderator between students' vocabulary retention level and foreign language learning efficiency. Local Literature According to Laurice E Damo, Reynold C Padagas (2020) Hybrid learning is an intentional integration of traditional and online learning in order to provide educational opportunities that maximize the benefits of each mode of delivery to facilitate students’ learning. Institutions of higher learning are being challenged to adopt such modality to deliver quality instruction. Results showed high assessments of the hybrid learning dimensions, namely, learning design, learning objectives and outcomes, learning materials, technology, learning support, administrative and organizational commitment, amount and quality of interaction between teachers and students, and quality and amount of learning experience. Learner's Readiness Foreign Literature According to Marzieh Rafiee, Salman Abbasian-Naghneh Computer Assisted Language Learning 34 (5-6), 730-750, 2021 Over the past few decades, rapid advances in technology have led many researchers to study the factors that influence successful implementations in various fields. Therefore, the current study aimed to identify the factors that influence e-learning acceptance and readiness in the context of foreign language learning. The results reveal a complex relationship between perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, motivation for e-learning, self-efficacy in online communication, and language learners' acceptance and readiness for e-learning. rice field. Furthermore, results 15 indicated that perceived enjoyment did not influence e-learning acceptance and readiness in language learners through a mediating role of perceived usefulness. Local Literature According to I Lopez, Jimmy E Valdez, Julieta A Villanueva, Weyalein L Balonquita, Jam Flores (2021) The level of readiness of the teachers and students in blended learning modalities was generally high. Among the six dimension of readiness, only online learning scored low for both teachers and students. Teachers most common difficulties encountered in blended learning were unstable internet connectivity, insufficient time to prepare learning materials, captivating students’ focus in learning, and difficulty in addressing individual needs of their learners. The most common worst experiences they had were the following: online engagement thru chats, teaching problem solving skills online, unavailability of materials for the experiment, and the academic dishonesty of the students. From the difficulties that the teachers have encountered, all of them looked for better internet service provider, trained themselves how to do the recording for the video lessons using online resources or through departmental tutorials, used alternative household materials for the experiment, and consistent online interaction to the learners thru personal chats via messenger and text as well as sent emails. Professor - Student Interaction Foreign Literature According to Anna Toropova, Eva Myrberg, Stefan Johansson Educational review 73 (1), 71-97, 2021 As teacher shortage is an international problem, teacher job satisfaction deserves more attention. Job satisfaction is not only closely related to teacher retention, but also contributes to teacher-student well-being, school-wide cohesion, and the reputation of the teaching profession. 16 More specifically, teacher workload, teacher collaboration, and teacher perceptions of student discipline in school were the factors most closely associated with teacher job satisfaction. Female teachers, teachers who are enthusiastic about professional development, and teachers with good grades tend to be more satisfied with their jobs. Furthermore, we found that the association between teacher cooperation and job satisfaction was more pronounced for male teachers, and that student discipline was more important to job satisfaction for teachers with low self-efficacy. More on policy implications. Local Literature According to Juliet Aleta R Villanueva (2021) stated that flexible learning options and blended learning programs continue to serve marginalized student populations under the Alternative Delivery Mode of the Philippine K-12 system. However, blended learning interactions in these programs remain hidden. Qualitative data were gathered through interviews, focus group discussions, class observations, stored data, and field notes to investigate teacher and student blended learning interactions. Students manifested teaching presence through directing and regulating their learning. Areas for improvement which relate to teaching presence were also revealed, particularly in the communication and the timeliness of feedback, and online facilitation of discourse. 17 CHAPTER III RESEARCH METHODOLOGY This chapter explains various methodologies that we will use in gathering data and analysis which are relevant to the research. The methodologies will include areas such as the research design, method technique use, respondents of the study, research instrument, data gathering procedure and statistical treatment of data. RESEARCH DESIGN Descriptive Research Design - The researchers used research on assessment in technologysupported learning environments has increased. Our research design is likely common to students who are currently enrolled this year and to understand the common problem and effectiveness of online learning and face to face amid the pandemic. SAMPLING TECHNIQUE Convenience Sampling - In this study, the researchers used a convenience sampling methodology. The study's respondents are one hundred (100) 1st to 4th year students enrolled in the Norzagaray College during the First Semester of the Academic Year 2022-2023. Convenience sampling technique on the other hand is a type of non-probability sampling method where the sample is taken from a group of people easy to contact or to reach. 18 RESEARCH INSTRUMENT Survey Questionnaire using Google Forms - The instrument used to collect data was the survey questionnaire. This was used because it gathered data faster than any other methods. Besides the respondents were First to Fourth Year Students from the College of Education. They could read and answer the questionnaire with ease. The researchers prepared their own questionnaire. The draft of the questionnaire was drawn out based on readings, reviewed published and unpublished theses relevant to the study. The researcher saw that there were enough items to collect data to cover all aspects of the problem and to answer all the specific questions under the statement of the problem. Then, the researcher submitted the questionnaire to the adviser and grammarian for correction after which it was finalized. After the revision from the grammarian, the copies of questionnaires, particularly google forms were distributed to the students. They were asked if all the items were clear and unequivocal to them; if the number of items were adequate enough to collect data pertinent to the study; if all the items were objective and not biased: and if all items were relevant to the research problem. DATA GATHERING PROCEDURE During the first phase of the study, the researchers chose a topic to focus on and began with an introduction as they acquired adequate material. Looking for online benefits are provided on how it can aid the schools and beneficiaries of this study. The researchers also stated the study's scope and limitations. The researchers gathered related literature and studies about the Assessment on the Implemented Learning Modalities of Norzagaray College. The researchers use this to develop questionnaires that they may use to collect the information needed to prove their study. Before disseminating the survey questionnaire to the potential and target 19 participants of the study, which are educational students from Norzagaray College who are knowledgeable and capable of answering the research survey questionnaire, the researchers consulted their research professor for approval and additional details. The researcher distributed the questionnaire to the participants after it had been finalized. The data was then gathered, processed, and tabulated by the researchers. RESPONDENTS OF THE STUDY The respondents of the students in First to Fourth Year are the BSED Major in General Science. Individuals who complete a survey or interview for the researcher, or who contribute data to be examined for the research project, are known as respondents. STATISTICAL TREATMENT The researchers used general weighted mean. General weighted mean is a mean where some values contribute more than others. Mean Formula: TF= x1* f + x2 * f + x3 * f + x4 * f ; where x is the legends given and f is the frequency. WM= Σx/N ; where WM is the weighted mean, Σx is the total frequency, N is 100, the total number of respondents 20 Correlation Coefficient Formula: Pearson Correlation Coefficient = r Pearson's correlation coefficient is the test statistics that measures the statistical relationship, or association, between two continuous variables. It is known as the best method of measuring the association between variables of interest because it is based on the method of covariance. It gives information about the magnitude of the association, or correlation, as well as the direction of the relationship. 21 CHAPTER IV PRESENTATION, ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA This chapter presents and interprets the data gathered from the questionnaire. It illustrates tables showing how psychological effects of online classes affect the students’ learning. Another table will show the advantages and disadvantages of online classes to the learning outcomes of students. Demographic Profile The demographic profile of sampled students of Norzagaray College A.Y 2022-2023 was determined and summarized below using tabular presentation. Table 1: Demographic Profile in terms of Age Age Frequency Percent 18-22 89 89% 23-27 6 6% 28-32 3 3% 33-37 2 2% Total 100 100% Table 1 shows the corresponding frequency and percentage distribution of sampled students in terms of their age. The results show that the highest percentage students at 89% of the total number of respondents, have an age range of 18 to 22. The next highest percentage of 6% came from the group of students with an age range of 23 – 37. 22 There were 3 out of 100 of the total number of sampled students aging below 28 – 32 years old had a percentage of 3% and the remaining 2% of them aged between 33 – 37 years old. Generally, the results imply that the sampled students of Norzagaray College were young ones. Similarly, the demographic profile sampled students of Norzagaray College in terms of their gender was also determined and summarized below. Table 2: Demographic Profile in terms of Gender Gender Frequency Percent Female 72 72% Male 28 28% Total 100 100% The preceding table shows the corresponding frequency and percentage distribution of the sampled students of Norzagaray College in terms of their gender. Apparently, the table shows that 72 out of 100, or 72% of the total number of respondents were females. On the other hand, 28 out of 100 or2% of the total number of respondents were males. With the higher number of frequencies, female students are said to be more dominant than male students. 23 Correspondingly, the demographic profile of Norzagaray College was also determined and summarized below using tabular presentation in terms of their year level & section. Table 3: Demographic Profile in terms of Year Level and Section Year Level & Section Frequency Percent BSED 1A 15 15% BSED 1B 18 18% BSED 2A 15 15% BSED 2B 13 13% BSED 3A 10 10% BSED 4A 18 18% BSED 4B 11 11% Total 100 100% Table 3 shows the corresponding frequency distribution of the selected BSED students in terms of their year level and section. It can be clearly gleaned from the table that most of the sampled BSED were first year students with a combined percentage equal to 33% which was followed by the fourth-year students with a combined percentage equal to 29%. Whereas, the students from the second and third year gained an equal percentage of 28%. In terms of their section, there were a greater number of students from the section 1B of the first-year students when compared to section 1A. For the second-year students, the number of students from section 2A is greater than those who were in section 2B. For the third-year students, all of them were from section 3A. Lastly, students from section 4A were more dominant than those who were in section 4B. 24 In this part of the study, the demographic profile of the selected BSED students in terms was also determined and summarized below using tabular presentation in terms of their economic status. Table 4: Demographic Profile in terms of Economic Status Economic Status Frequency Percent 10, 000 to 20, 000 Pesos 20 20% 5, 000 to 10, 000 Pesos 43 43% Less than 5, 000 Pesos 33 33% Others 4 4% Total 100 100% Table 4 shows the corresponding frequency distribution of the respondents’ economic status in terms of their family monthly income. Obviously, the table shows that 43% of the families of the sampled students had an income between 5, 000 and 10, 000 pesos. It is followed by those students with a family income lesser than 5, 000 pesos. Interestingly, there were 20% of students whose family income were greater than 10, 000 pesos. On the other hand, the remaining 4% of the total sampled students disclosed their family income. Table 5: Demographic Profile in terms of Connection Provider Connection Provider Frequency Percent Data 51 51% Wi-Fi 49 49% Total 100 100% 25 In terms of connection provider, table 5 shows the corresponding frequency distribution of the students. Obviously, the table shows that more than half (51%) of the total number of respondents depended too much in using a mobile data. On the other hand, the remaining 49% of the total sampled students had a Wi-Fi internet connection. Table 6: Demographic Profile in terms of Location Location Frequency Percent Angat 11 11% DRT 2 2% NHV Tigbe 1 1% Norzagaray 79 79% Sta. Maria 7 7% 100 100% Total Table 6 shows the corresponding frequency distribution of the respondents in terms of their location. Obviously, the table shows that most of the total number of respondents come from the different places. The table states that most of the students which comprised of 79% were from Norzagaray itself. Followed by the students from Angat with 11%, were. Additionally, 7 out of 100 students were from Sta Maria, 2 of them were from DRT and only 1 of them came from NHV Tigbe. 26 Assessment on the implemented Learning Modalities of Norzagaray College A.Y 2022-2023 (Online Class) The succeeding tables presents the students’ assessment on the implemented learning modalities of Norzagaray College A.Y 2022-2023.

SUMMARY The purpose of this research is to assess the implemented learning modalities in Norzagaray College during the academic year 2022-2023. The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of the different learning modalities in terms of student learning outcomes and satisfaction. The research used a mixed-methods approach, incorporating quantitative data collection and analysis. A survey was administered to a sample of students to gather quantitative data on their perceptions of the different learning modalities. In likertscale type google form questionnaire were conducted with a subset of the students to gather more detailed and nuanced insights. The results of the study showed that the majority of students preferred a combination of online and in-person learning, citing the convenience and flexibility of online learning as well as the benefits of face-toface interaction. The use of technology in the classroom, such as virtual whiteboards and online collaboration tools, was also highly rated by students. However, the study also identified some challenges with the implemented learning modalities, such as technical difficulties and a lack of support for students with limited access to technology. These challenges suggest the need for further improvements and support to ensure that all students have equal opportunities to succeed in their studies. 32 Overall, the research provides valuable insights into the effectiveness and efficiency of the different learning modalities in Norzagaray College and can inform future decisions on the use of these modalities. It also highlights the importance of addressing the challenges and ensuring equity in the implementation of these modalities to support student learning and success. SUMMARY OF FINDINGS GENDER Corresponding frequency and percentage distribution of the sampled students of Norzagaray College in terms of their gender. Apparently, the table shows that 72 out of 100, or 72% of the total number of respondents were females. On the other hand, 28 out of 100 or2% of the total number of respondents were males. With the higher number of frequencies, female students are said to be more dominant than male students. AGE The corresponding frequency and percentage distribution of sampled students in terms of their age. The results show that the highest percentage students at 89% of the total number of respondents, have an age range of 18 to 22. The next highest percentage of 6% came from the group of students with an age range of 23 – 37. There were 3 out of 100 of the total number of sampled students aging below 28 – 32 years old had a percentage of 3% and the remaining 2% of them aged between 33 – 37 years old. Generally, the results imply that the sampled students of Norzagaray College were young ones. 33 ECONOMIC STATUS The corresponding frequency distribution of the selected BSED students in terms of their year level and section. It can be clearly gleaned from the table that most of the sampled BSED were first year students with a combined percentage equal to 33% which was followed by the fourth-year students with a combined percentage equal to 29%. Whereas, the students from the second and third year gained an equal percentage of 28%. In terms of their section, there were a greater number of students from the section 1B of the first-year students when compared to section 1A. For the second-year students, the number of students from section 2A is greater than those who were in section 2B. For the third-year students, all of them were from section 3A. Lastly, students from section 4A were more dominant than those who were in section 4B. CONNECTION PROVIDER In terms of connection provider, table 5 shows the corresponding frequency distribution of the students. Obviously, the table shows that more than half (51%) of the total number of respondents depended too much in using a mobile data. On the other hand, the remaining 49% of the total sampled students had a Wi-Fi internet connection. LOCATION The corresponding frequency distribution of the respondents in terms of their location. Obviously, the table shows that most of the total number of respondents come from the different places. The table states that most of the students which comprised of 79% were from Norzagaray itself. Followed by the students from Angat with 11%, were. Additionally, 7 out of 100 students were from Sta Maria, 2 of them were from DRT and only 1 of them came from NHV Tigbe. 34 COST EFFICIENT Summarizes the results regarding assessment on the implemented learning modalities in terms of cost effective. The overall mean equal to 3. 68 with standard deviation equal to 1.18 implies that the sampled students generally “Agree” to the implemented learning modalities in terms of cost effective under the blended learning. TIME MANAGEMENT Summarizes the results regarding assessment on the implemented learning modalities in terms of time management. The overall mean equal to 3. 91 with standard deviation equal to 0.85 implies that the sampled BSED students all “Agree” to the implemented learning modalities in terms of time management under the blended learning.
