Impact of Learning Style on the Academic Performance of Grade 12 HUMSS Students in Bestlink College of the Philippines during Distant Learning

Vol.3, No.1D

Abstract

We are dealing with complex adaptive systems with emergent properties in our contemporary time. Blending learning provides opportunities and challenges by interacting with almost every aspect of higher education. There are many faults in this learning system, such as a lack of monitoring for the students if they are actually in the lesson and listening properly. Blended learning is one of the most modern learning methods to help solve the knowledge explosion problem. This can be beneficial for both the teachers and the learners if utilized correctly. 

The researchers seek to provide insights into how this new learning approach affects the productivity of grade 12 students. However, while many are comfortable, the problematic ones are on par with the number of students who somewhat enjoy the benefits of blended learning. The study showed that the proposed blended learning strategy did not improve the students’ vocabulary achievement. Although students were satisfied with the proposed blended learning strategy in teaching vocabulary and preferred it to traditional classroom-based learning, they did not want to study new vocabulary items outside the classroom due to their lack of motivation. Since the students in this particular study do not have the self-discipline to make e-learning a powerful option which allows them to work independently at their own pace, it is highly recommended that curiosity and authenticity should be provoked by different types of online tools, not only the lack of motivation but the level of pressure put on them when studying in their house, the problem of being at home is that you almost have no time and place for studying because the parents feel that these students are always free at a time when in reality they are studying with the blended learning approach, which makes it hard for the other students to cope up with.

With these advantages and disadvantages, the researchers seek to provide insights into how this new learning approach affects the productivity of grade 12 HUMSS students here at BCP A.Y 2021-22.
