ABSTRACT

This study evaluated the effectiveness of the Blended Learning Approach to the performance of the Grade 7 students in Physics of Granja – Kalinawan National High School for the S.Y. 2020-2021. The findings were the basis for a proposed improvement plan. This study used the quasi-experimental method of research to evaluate the effectiveness of the Blended Learning Approach to the performance of the Grade 7 students in Physics. The results were the basis for an integration plan. The researcher utilized Universal Sampling in identifying the respondents of the study. The results in the test of the difference between the scores in the pretest and posttest of Grade 7 students in physics before and after the integration of blending learning approach during the teaching and learning process or in the delivery of the different most essential learning competencies in physics subject. Based on the findings found in table 3, there was a strong positive impact brought about by the blended learning modality or approach in teaching physics seeing the results in the table that the computed t value of 9.154, which is obviously greater than the critical t value of 3.441 from the posttest value of 38.76 which is greater than the pretest value of 8.66 and the hypothesis which state that there is no significant difference between the pretest and posttest performance of the grade 7 students in physics before and after the integration of the blended learning approach is rejected.
The result implied that the integration or utilization of the blended learning approach is significantly effective in improving the performance level of the Grade 7 students in physics, considering to the fact that there was a big leap of the test scores in the pretest to the posttest scores thus, it really helps the students’ increase their performances and have active participation during the completion of the modules either hard copies or soft copies depending on the required requirements of the teachers. It also help Ignites the pupils’ desire to learn and plays a purpose in a better teaching and learning atmosphere.
