Abstract
This study examined the extent of utilization of Alternative Delivery Modes (ADMs) and their relationship with the academic performance of learners in selected public schools during School Year 2024–2025. A descriptive-correlational quantitative research design and a cross-sectional survey approach were employed. There was 350 Master Teachers purposively selected from selected public schools. Data was gathered using a researcher-developed questionnaire that assessed the utilization of ADMs in terms of empirical ideas and opinions, purposes, and uses. Learners’ academic performance was determined using their General Weighted Average (GWA). Frequency and percentage, weighted mean, composite mean, standard deviation, independent samples t-test, one-way analysis of variance, and chi-square test of independence were employed in the analysis. The findings showed that digital-based instruction and modular/print-based instruction were among the commonly utilized ADMs. The utilization of ADMs in terms of empirical ideas and opinions was rated “Always Utilized,” while their purposes and uses were rated “Often Utilized.” Most learners obtained Outstanding and Very Satisfactory academic performance ratings. No significant differences were found in ADM utilization when respondents were grouped according to sex, age, civil status, educational attainment, respondent category, and years of service. Furthermore, no significant relationship was found between ADM utilization and learners’ academic performance. An ADM Enhancement Program was proposed to strengthen teacher capability, instructional and digital resources, learner assistance systems, and continuous monitoring of ADM implementation.
