Abstract:

The sudden and unexpected change that COVID-19 brought to teaching and learning is likely to have an impact on many, if not all, aspects of college students' lives worldwide. Students in higher education, particularly those in the medical field, were significantly impacted by this global phenomenon. For their hands-on activities, paramedical students need suitable demonstrations to learn the abilities required for their specialization; their course also includes laboratory work. Thus, this study focuses on the impact of different learning modalities on the perceived academic performance of the paramedical students of Dr. Carlos S. Lanting College. Data were gathered through an online survey administered via Google Forms. The survey used in this study was a researcher-made type of questionnaire. The respondents were 100 3rd and 4th year level college students. The data gathered were analyzed through multiple regression. Results showed that traditional learning was preferred by 54 percent of respondents, followed by blended learning at 36 percent and online learning at 10 percent. Traditional learning (B=.620, p-value=.000) and blended learning (B=.320, p-value=.002) had a positive impact on perceived academic performance. However, online learning (B=.118, p-value=.210) had no significant impact at all. These results suggest that traditional learning is still students' preferred modality because this is where they feel most engaged and motivated to learn their courses.
