ABSTRACT
This qualitative research focused on literature reviews. The method utilized was document analysis. The articles were from 2010-2020 taken from different websites and documents from libraries of Hokkaido University of Education and Northern Iloilo Polytechnic State College. The results showed blended learning started three decades ago, specifically for higher education institutions (HEIs), also used in graduate programs and professional development. But in 2007, in the Philippines, the Center of Blended Learning started and had very positive responses from the parents and students. Moreover, blended learning (BL) is adopted in subjects like English explicitly in Language, Science, and Distance Learning. The use of BL in education helps students engage positively in all activities and increased behavior towards learning, and empowered to become leaders, coaches, and mentors to fellow students. Teachers, as necessary instruments for effective implementation of BL, the conduct of professional development is vital. In the country, DepEd proposed to use online learning, modular approach, radio-television methods, face-to-face, and para-teachers for blended learning. But the lack of facilities like gadgets or computer sets, and connectivity in the Philippines is a unique challenge to DepEd. The education sectors asked help from different government agencies and private individuals and organizations to support the proposals. This study suggests tapping experts to conduct studies BL to help the education system in the new normal. Each school must document all the positive and negative experiences with BL. DepEd consolidates all the collected undertaking during a pandemic and creates a framework to enhance blended learning.
