The study aimed to assess the implementation of the AdZU Grade School blended learning modality during the COVID-19 pandemic and develop an improved instructional framework for future emergency learning plans. Using a qualitative approach, the researchers gathered insights from Grade Six students, teachers, and parents through focus group discussions and interviews. The results showed that while blended learning promoted flexibility, accessibility, and continuous learning, it also revealed challenges in internet connectivity, workload, lesson pacing, motivation, assessment, and home support. The findings informed recommendations for a more flexible, inclusive, and sustainable instructional framework to strengthen learning continuity during future emergencies.

The research is conducted under the AdZUโ€“URO Research Chair Program (RCP), was awarded a โ‚ฑ50,000.00 cash incentive, tax included, on July 28, 2026.

URO extends its gratitude to the Research Review Committee (RRC) Membersโ€”Jocelyn D. Partosa, Ph.D., Robin A. De Los Reyes, Ph.D., and Teresita G. Montaรฑo, Ph.D.โ€”to their Research Coach, Marjorie Emmanuel, Ph.D., for their guidance and support, and to Ms. Perla S. Ledesma, URO Director, for her mentorship that facilitated the completion of the study.

Ms. Maria Doriza L Faunillan, Assistant Principal for Academics, witnessed the awarding ceremony on behalf of Ms. Grace Forniza, Grade School Principal.

Warmest congratulations to our researchers and the Grade School Unit for this commendable accomplishment!
