Exploring Students' Preferences For Instruction In Music: Foundation For Developing Pedagogical Frameworks For Online Music Courses

Abstract

The Department of Education transforms the curriculum to meet learners' needs by employing multiple learning delivery modalities (LDMs) through blended learning, distance learning, and homeschooling. This study was conceptualized to answer the fundamental issues of blended learning and how the students will accept and perform well in the class. With the participation of the one hundred fifty-seven students in a national high school in Zamboanga City as participants, the study pushes through as it employs a descriptive-quantitative survey design. The study provided empirical data about the viability of blended learning in teaching music. It was found out that most of the students are using modules and smartphones, wherein they can easily access the internet via the pre-paid and post-paid connections. As the results reveal, blended learning is a promising learning modality that schools can use since learning can be accessible and provide students with independence.
