DESIGNING ENRICHMENT PROGRAM IN SCIENCE UTILIZING BLENDED LEARNING MODELS

Aims: Implementing efficient teaching and learning strategies is vital in the ever-evolving field of education. In today's rapidly changing educational scene, blended learning emerges as a potential solution to fulfil the diverse demands of students. The main objective of this study was to examine the effective utilization of blended learning models to enhance academic outcomes. Study design: The study used a descriptive-developmental research design. Place and Duration of Study: The study's respondents are one hundred (100) Grade 7 students of Janopol Oriental NHS during the school year 2023-2024. Methodology: The study used a survey questionnaire. The researcher focused on the students’ perceptions of the blended learning components, blended learning models, and student engagement. Results: According to the findings, using the blended learning model focusing on the rotation model is effective in science academic performance. It is approved by rejecting the null hypothesis about the significant differences between the pretest and post-test. Furthermore, there is no significant relationship between the blended learning components and science learning outcomes. Conclusion: There is no significant relationship between the science learning outcomes and the blended learning models implemented at JONHS. The school administration may consider improving the curriculum by implementing blended learning models as part of learning in the science curriculum. Further studies on the different blended learning models in teaching science were also recommended. Aside from additional studies, crafting of an intervention program may be utilized for different blended learning models. Broadening the scope of research on the influence of blended learning in other subjects or increasing the sample size can all be considered.
