Onsite Learning and Flexible Learning Modalities: A Comparative Analysis of Students’ Academic Performance

— In the advent of the CoViD-19 pandemic, the Philippine's academic sector shouldered the responsibility to lead the country to its transition towards the new normal. As the cases surged to higher height and the death tolls rising above the line, restrictions were strictly imposed and classes were put-off. The bigger responsibility for the government now is to ensure the learning continuity of students despite the crisis. The new normal supplanted the physical engagements of teachers and students with virtual learning environment. The shift towards flexible learning has set in opportunities and challenges within the system. The integration of this new mode of instruction was confronted by numerous criticisms in terms of its long-term effect to students' academic ability. For purposes of providing empirical evidence on this context, this study will provide an analysis on the impact of flexible learning to college students with special emphasis on their academic performance. This study utilized document analysis, grounded theory and survey as its methods.
