The pandemic has caused educational institutions all over the world to
reassess their learning strategies. Several distance learning modalities have been
introduced to provide students with an alternative learning strategy during the
pandemic to be able to continue the learning process. However, not eve ryone agrees
with this 'new normal' learning system, as it may have increased the students' already
existing stress. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the struggles of Grade 11
Senior High School students and their coping mechanisms to help the researchers
understand how it is suitable to the blended learning modality implemented currently
in Legazpi City Science High School during the
school year 2021-2022. The study
will give benefits by raising awareness and improving the applied learning system.
The study made use of the Convergent Parallel Design to analyze the quantitative data
and Thematic Analysis to analyze qualitative data. The data gathering procedure
includes seeking participants using the Purposive Sampling Method and collecting the
responses. Statistical tools were used to analyze and interpret the results. The findings
of the study show that there are a lot of challenges experienced by the students in
which they use several coping strategies to lessen their stress. It is implied that there is
a need for improvements in the implemented blended learning modality
Ang pandemya ay nakadulot ng muling pagsuri ng mga akademikong institusyon sa buong Pilipinas. Ibatibang “distance learning modalities” ang ipinakilala upang bigyan ang mga estudyante ng alternatibong
istratehiya ukol sa pag-aaral sa panahon ng pandemya para ipagpatuloy ang kanilang proseso ng
pagkatuto. Ngunit, hindi lahat sang-ayon sa “new normal” na sistema ng pag-aaral sa kadahilanang
nakadagdag sa umiiral na stress sa isang mag-aaral. Ang layunin ng pananaliksik na ito ay suriin ang mga
kasalukuyang paghihirap ng mga estudyanteng nasa baitang labing-isa sa secondaryang lebel at ang
kani-kanilang paraan sa pagharap sa mga problemang nailatag ng pandemya upang matulungan ang
mga mananaliksik na maunawaan kung angkop ba ang mga paraan ng pagkatuto na kasalukuyang
ginagamit ng Mataas na Pamantasang Pang-agham ng Lungsod ng Legazpi sa akademikong taong 20212022. Ang pananaliksik na ito
