Flexible Learning: A New Learning Design in this Time of COVID-19 Pandemic

Abstract

Learning has tremendously taken place, and consideration in all academic institutions, for it stipulates knowledge, behavior, skills, values, or preferences and may involve analyzing different types of information. In particular, flexible learning provides learners with privilege and choices about where, when, and how learning occurs. In this time of the pandemic, the quality of education must be given prioritization; its transfer must always be given importance despite the barriers and hindrances. With this, flexible learning has shown us a broad-brimmed view that it will relieve the current academic situation. Hence, the ultimate objective of this study was to evaluate whether flexible learning helps to promote the continuous delivery of education or not in teaching the course GE-MMW (Mathematics in the Modern World) in BSBA(Bachelor of Science in Business Administration) students of Surigao Del Sur State University, Tandag City, Philippines. The researcher used an interview method and prepared a flexible learning schedule as part of the data collection process. The researcher then gathered all the information and provided a thorough analysis. The results then show that the engagement of flexible learning as a new learning design helps in the teaching and learning process.
