CHAPTER I
Introduction
Most countries throughout the world have temporarily closed
educational institutions to control viral transmission and lessen the number of
sick people (Tria, 2020). The surge of COVID-19 in the Philippines altered the
educational environment significantly. The Philippines is currently undergoing
an adjustment period to the new normal form of education. Educators'
ongoing innovations, combined with the active participation of other
stakeholders, are the driving forces behind the country's future success
(Dangle & Sumaoang, 2020). The Department of Education (DepEd)
designed the Basic Education Learning Continuity Plan (BE-LCP). It ensures
that learners are provided with learning opportunities safely through various
learning modalities in distance learning. One of these is the mode of teaching
or distance learning modalities implemented by the DepEd (Castroverde &
Acala, 2021). Distance learning is a type of learning between a teacher and
students who are geographically separated at the time of teaching. Modular
Distance Learning (MDL), Online Distance Learning (ODL), and TV/Radio-
Based Instruction are the three types of this modality (Quinones, 2020).
Modular education is the most common type of distance education.
This instruction is employed in all public schools in the Philippines to ensure
the continuity of education. Each school continues to achieve its objective and
vision of providing quality education to every Filipino learner (Dangle &
Sumaoang, 2020). The transition of teaching-learning delivery in schools to
modular remote learning made quality primary education more difficult for
school workers. That is why DepEd leaders are constantly looking for
solutions to challenges and preparing teachers and school administrators to
be more effective in modular distance learning (Bagood, 2020).
However, the changes to remote learning have taken a substantial
physical and emotional toll on many students, educators, and leaders,
intensifying underlying engagement and mental health issues (Bracket et al.,
2020).
And with schools across the globe turning into distance learning during
the pandemic, it arise the researchers' interest to study about the factors
affecting the Grade 12 HUMSS student’s academic performance in the new
normal setting of education.
Conceptual Framework
The conceptual framework of this study shows the relationship among
the independent variable, and the dependent variable. The independent
variable considered in the study is the factors affecting the Grade 12 HUMSS
students’ academic performance and relationship to the new normal setting of
education.

Statement of the Problem
This study aims to know the factors affecting the student’s
academic performance in the new normal setting of education level of of
selected grade 12 students in Sergio L. Legayada National High School.
Specially, it seeks to answer the following question:
1. What is the level of academic performance of the students in the
new normal setting of education?
2. What are the factors affecting students’ academic performance in
the new normal setting of education to the Grade 12 HUMSS Students of
SLLNHS?
3. Is there a significant relationship between the level of academic
performance of students and the factors affecting to the new normal setting of
education?
Hypothesis of the Study
There is no significant relationship between the academic performance
of students to the new normal setting of education.

CHAPTER 2
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
This chapter presents the relevant works, literature, and studies of local
and foreign authors for the purpose of establishing a deeper and better
understanding of the topic and the problem and as basis of the methods and
claims used in the study.
Covid 19
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infection disease caused by the
SARSCoV-2 Virus.
Most people infected with the virus will experience mild to moderare
respiratory illness and recover without requiring special treatment. However,
some will become seriously ill and require medical attention. Older people and
those with underlying medical condition like cardiovascular disease, diabetes,
chronic respiratory disease, or cancer are more likely develop serious illness.
Anyone can get sick with COVID-19 and become seriously ill or die at any
age.
Education and the COVID-19 pandemic
In December 2019, an outbreak of a novel coronavirus, known as
COVID-19, occurred in China and has spread rapidly across the globe within
a few months, COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by a new strain of
coronavirus that attacks the respiratory system (World Health Organization,
2020). As of January 2021, COVID-19 has infected 94 million people and has
caused 2 million deaths in 191 countries and territories (John Hopkins
University, 2021). This pandemic has created a massive disruption of the
educational systems, affecting over 1.5 billion students. It is forced the
government to cancel national examinations and the schools to temporarily
close, cease face-to-face instruction, and strictly observe physical distancing.
These events have sparked the digital transformation of higher education and
challenged its ability to respond promptly and effectively. Schools adopted
relevant technologies, prepared learning and staff resources, set systems and
infrastructure, established new teaching protocols, and adjusted their
curricula. However, the transition was smooth for some schools but rough for
others, particularly those from developing countries with limited infrastructure
(Pham & Nguyen, 2020; Simbulan , 2020).
Inevitably, schools and other learning spaces were forced to migrate to
full online learning as the world continues the battle to control the vicious
spread of virus. Online learning refers to a learning environment that uses the
Internet and other technological devices and tools for synchronous and
asynchronous instructional delivery and management of academic programs
(Usher & Barak, 2020; Huang, 2019).
Academic Achievement
Academic achievement or (academic) performance is the extent to
which a student, teacher or institution has achieved their short or long term
educational goals (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/academic_achievement). This
performance can be measured by many tools such CGPA, skills etc. There
are many empirical studies carried out to examine the factors affecting senior
high school student” performance. A research carried out by Ali et al (2013)
supported the above sentence by stating student’ academic gain and learning
performance is affected by numerous factor including gender ,age ,teaching
faculty, student schooling, father/guardian social, economic status, residential
area of student, medium of instruction of school, tuition trend, daily study
hour and accommodation as hostelries or day scholar. It is believed that
learning style have significant relationship with the academic performance
( Rienties et al., 2012;Desmedt & Vackle, 2003). A study by Wenglinsky
(2001) stated by many quantitative studies which focused specially on
teaching conformed to a similar pattern finding little relationship between
teacher inputs and student” achievement. Therefore, it can be observed that
teaching style have a direct impact on student’s performance because
teachers are most individual that student believes because whatever input
they got from their teacher, they will practice it. Canto- Herrera, & Salazar
Carballo (2010) indicated that there is a significant relationship between belief
about constructivist teaching and each five categories of teaching style of
teachers of mathematician were found, and relationship between teaching
style “delegator” and student academic achievement was found.
English language and Communication is also another important factor
that has impact on the students’ performance. A study by Mosha (2014)
revealed that student were highly motivated to learn English for future
expectations such as local and international communication, academic
advancement and employment prospect.
Blended Learning
Blended learning and research issues blended learning (BL), or the
integration of face-to-face and online instruction (Graham 2013), is widely
adopted across higher education with some scholars referring to it as the
“new traditional model” (ross and gage 2006, p. 167) or the “”new normal” in
course delivery (Norberg et al. 2011, p. 207). However, tracking the accurate
extent of its growth has been challenging because of definitional ambiguity
(Oliver and Trigwell 2005), combined with institutions’ inability to track an
innovative practice, that in many instances has emerged organically. One
early nationwide study sponsored by the Sloan Consortium (now the Online
Learning Consortium) found that 65.2% of participating institutions of higher
education (IHEs) offered blended (also termed hybrid) courses (Allen and
Seaman 2003). A 2008 study, commissioned by the U.S. Department of
education to explore distance education to explore distance education in the
U.S., defined BL as “a combination of online and in-class instruction with
reduced in-class seat time for students” (Lewis and Parsad 2008, p. 1,
emphasis added). Using this definition, the study found that 35% of higer
education institutions offered blended courses, and that 12% of the 12.2
million documented distance education enrollments were in blended courses.
