Abstract

The alarming outbreak of COVID-19 caused havoc on educational institutions which forced them to have major modifications on the mode of instruction to be used for educational continuity. The purpose of this paper was to determine students’ level of satisfaction of blended learning modality (BLM) in Philippine Normal University Mindanao (PNUM). A total of 506 undergraduate students participated in this descriptive survey study, seventy-six percent (76%) of the participants were female and twenty-four percent (24%) were male. The students completed an online survey form with three sections. The results showed that the students’ level of satisfaction has a verbal description of more than satisfied in all identified areas of blended learning. Future research maybe conducted to determine the grounds for why students had the same level of satisfaction in five areas to better acknowledge the aspects of student satisfaction and enhance the standard of blended learning courses.
