Abstract

This paper aimed to assess the learners’ reflection during the conduct of the limited face-to-face class as part of the transitioning into the new normal. The thirty (30) Grade 7 learners of Dr. Juan A. Pastor Integrated National High School, Ibaan, Batangas who are among the participants during the limited face-to-face class are the main respondents of this study and are believed to be the most reliable respondents in this action research. After gathering sufficient data, the researchers conducted formal and informal interviews using semi-structured questionnaires. They also conducted small group discussions to confirm the material gathered, which were presented in themes using an online application. It was revealed that were excited and at the same time nervous during their first week of class. The learners felt happy and enjoyed going to school although having difficulties in math and reading. Furthermore, the learners preferred to have a face-to-face class instead of modular distance learning since they learn a lot. It was also suggested by the learners to have additional activities in reading and mathematics for them to acquire the necessary skills. The proposed plan of action is a great way to make it easier for learners to acquire the additional needed learning competencies and skills.
