This study utilized the quasi-experimental method of research to determine the effectiveness of blended learning Approach to the performance of the Intermediate pupils in MAPEH. The results were the basis for an intervention Plan. The researcher utilized universal sampling technique in identifying the respondents of the study. Table 3 shows the test of difference in the pretest and posttest performance of the Intermediate pupils in MAPEH. This results are gained before and after the implementation of the blended learning approach in the teaching and learning process in this time of pandemic to the different most essential learning competencies in MAPEH. Table 3 reveals that from the pretest scores performance which is equal to 22.07 is lesser than the posttest performance gained by the learners being tested to the different learning approaches in MAPEH which is equal to 31.27 and resulted to the computed t value which is equal to 1.832 and critical t value 0.642 after treating da data with specific statistics and based from the results given, the hypothesis which states that there is no significant difference on the pretest and posttest performance of the Grade 6 pupils in MAPEH before and after the implementation of the different learning approaches on a significance level of degree of error is rejected.
The results in table 3 regarding the test of difference of the pretest and posttest performance in MAPEH of the Grade 6 pupils implied that even though the Grade 6 pupils are having good performance in the pretest prior to the exposure of the different learning approaches in learning the subject acquired knowledge and skills in through the different learning gadgets such as cellphones, laptops, tablets, PCs, we cannot really deny to the fact that proper implementation and giving of instructions on how to properly use those aforementioned gadgets are really a great help of the learners to learn on their own pace of learning. Specially that not all learners are really exposed to the aforementioned gadgets to be. Used in learning. There are areas were learners needs proper guidance specially to those learners who are belong to the fair and good level or with the grades from 75-79. Moreover, since MAPEH really dealt with skills, thus, they really need on time personal interaction of the teachers, may it be face to face or through virtual medium of instruction. In this way, it can add their motivation to learn the subjects and later improve their performances.
