Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to determine the learning modality and the learning experience of the 47 senior high school students of PSALMS, Inc. This quantitative study used descriptive research as its research design and used descriptive statistics in data analysis. The results of the study showed that student respondents had positive learning experiences during both online and in-person modes of study. It also revealed that they have moderate access to online and in-person education, and for the student’s experience in an online and in-person setting, four dimensions were moderately practiced, namely: communication, retention, ability, and interest. The dimension of attention is the only one that was fairly practiced among the students. The study recommends keeping track of students’ experiences through their progress and their motivation in class. Gauging and monitoring their ability to focus, perform, and do their work, their ability to communicate between their peers and their teachers, and their ability to retain skills and information learned contribute to a positive learning experience. The study also suggests improving implemented teaching strategies in online and in- person education, should it be needed, for they play a significant role in the promotion of a positive and quality learning experience amongst students.
