Abstract:

Quality education is a key commitment of Romblon State University. By providing assessment of students exposed to modes of learning during pandemic, this study aimed to underscore their circumstances in adapting to mixed mode of learning, which has best feature of convenience from online mode and interaction from face-to-face mode. This study focused on all 2021 graduates from College of Education in determining their modes of learning, municipal base, and majors pursued before and during COVID-19 and how these affected their performances as indicated by their corresponding Grade Weighted Averages (GWA). Out of 68 graduates, 23 reside in Odiongan, while 29 pursued Music, Arts, Physical Education, and Health (MAPEH) Major. This study found that there was significant difference in GWA of graduates in different modes of learning (F=19.81, p=0.00), municipal base (F=14.93, p=0.00), and major pursued (F=7.03, p=0.03). The highest GWA was manifested by graduates engaged in online mode (1.65) but not necessarily better off than in face-to-face and mixed modes (1.84). Graduates from 6 out of 12 municipalities performed worst during mixed mode throughout the height of COVID-19. Moreover, graduates with majors, Biological Science and MAPEH, performed worst during face-to-face mode but performed best during online mode, while graduates with majors, English and Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE), performed worst during mixed mode but performed best during online mode. Considering these key findings, university administration shall undertake proactive measures to ensure its technology and dynamic interactions or feedback can reach impeded students from performing in mixed mode of learning.
