The study aimed to ascertain if blended learning at West Visayas State University's Pototan Campus is beneficial in raising students' academic performance in Systems Analysis and Design. Students from the School of Information and Communications Technology participated in the study and were split into control and experimental groups. A modified Adlawan et al. questionnaire was utilised to gauge students' attitudes toward blended learning, while a 50-item researcher-made test was used to gauge academic performance. The findings showed that the students had 'outstanding' academic achievement before adopting blended learning. This high level of performance sets a benchmark for continuous improvement. The students also had a 'negative' attitude towards blended learning before its adoption, but this changed to a 'positive' attitude after implementation. The experimental group's academic performance improved to 'excellent,' while the control group's performance remained 'excellent.' A significant difference was found between the experimental group's pre-test and post-test regarding their academic performance, indicating the effectiveness of blended learning. In contrast, a substantial difference between the pre-test and post-test of the control group was not found. Moreover, no significant difference was found in the students' attitudes towards blended learning before or after the introduction of blended learning. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
