Abstract:
This study determined the level of effectiveness of blended learning among the public secondary schools in the
Division of Quezon, School Year 2020-2021 along with the Lesson Delivery, Learner’s Engagement, Learner’s
Achievement, and Learner’s Assessment; the problems encountered; the coping strategies employed; and the
generated Policy Recommendations towards quality education.The descriptive-evaluative-correlational method
was employed while survey-questionnaire was used in the data gathering.The following findings have surfaced;
the effectiveness of blended learning among public secondary schools were Learner’s Achievement, (3.73); and
Learner Assessment, (3.69), while Lesson Delivery, (3.370); and Learner’s Engagement (3.34) were considered
effective. On the problems encountered; Teachers need customizable instructional delivery models, (3.72);
Creating an Effective Self- Paced Learning Environment, (3.72); and a Comprehensive Learning Management
System which offers flexibility and ease of use (3.71) were rated much serious. On the Coping Strategies;
Positivity despite hardships, (4.05).This study was delimited to its respondents who were public secondary (JHS)
teachers in the Division of Quezon that employed blended learning delivery modality.The sudden onset of
pandemic had brought profound significant challenges in the education system. With all the substantial and
reliable information that blended learning is not only necessary to survival in the academe during crisis but an
