Abstract

The study used a quantitative method with a descriptive-comparative research design through survey methodology. The study population consisted of 150 Grade 10 learners and 105 teachers who were selected using simple random sampling. Data was gathered using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using weighted mean and independent samples t-test to determine the level of effectiveness of Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) and to determine the differences in perceptions between learners and teachers. The results showed that ADM was perceived as highly effective in terms of teachers’ adaptation, delivery of instruction, accessibility of learning materials, and learning assessment, while learners’ adaptation was rated as moderately effective. Statistical analysis showed a significant difference between learners’ and teachers’ perceptions regarding ADM effectiveness. The challenges identified included are limited internet connectivity, delayed submission of outputs, monitoring difficulties, and increased teacher workload. The study finds that while ADM is a useful tool for keeping education going during emergencies, it really needs ongoing improvements, stronger institutional backing, and better support systems for learners to make sure it remains effective and sustainable in the long run.
