Flexibility and Personalization of Learning in the Senior High Open High School Program: Basis for Enhanced Alternative Delivery Mode of Teaching and Learning

Abstract

The Open High School Program is an alternative approach to providing secondary education available to learners. This program places significant importance on promoting independent learning, self-paced study, and flexibility to cater to individuals who face challenges that prevent them from starting or completing their secondary education. This study examined the flexibility and personalization of learning of senior high school learners enrolled in OHSP. The study utilized a descriptive-correlational design using a validated survey questionnaire with seventy-five senior high OHSP learners. Descriptive statistics using frequency, percentage, weighted mean, and rank were used to analyze the data. On the other hand, inferential statistics using t-test and ANOVA were used to determine the significant relationship between the demographic profile and the flexibility and personalization of learning of the respondents. Results revealed that OHSP provided senior high learners with a learning experience that is flexible and personalized. The comparison between the learners’ demographic profile and the flexibility and personalization of learning was revealed to be not significant. It is recommended that the OHSP must be enhanced further to provide a more flexible and personalized learning environment enabling learners to tailor their learning experience according to their individual needs, interests, and preferences.
