BLENDED MODE OF LEARNING
IN SAN ROQUE NATIONAL
HIGH SCHOOL IN
ANTIPOLO CITY,
S.Y.2020-2021
 Background of the Study (Introduction)
Mental Health includes our emotional, psychological
and social well-being. This affects our senses and
the way we think, feel and act towards ourselves or
towards someone. It also helps determine how we
cope up stress, relate to others and decision making.
Mental Health is important at every stage of our lives,
from our childhood to our adolescence and our
adulthood.

The first mental health act legislation in the history
of the Philippines has been officially signed into
law and was enacted as the Republic Act no. 11036
on 21 June 2018. It provides a rights-based mental
health bill and a comprehensive framework for the
implementation of optimal mental healthcare in the
Philippines. The purpose of this act is to enhance
our mental health facilities and services. This will
protect the rights of the people who suffer from
mental illness and for other purposes.
 Background of the Study (Introduction)
The legal basis that the researchers input can help the
Grade Eleven students of San Roque National High
School to know that they can ask for a help if they
can’t handle their mental health problems. This act
will also be a guide for the students who wants to
help their schoolmates who also deals with mental
illnesses.

Adolescence (10-19 years old) is a unique and
formative time. Multiple physical, emotional and
social changes, including exposure to poverty, abuse
or violence can make adolescents vulnerable to
mental health problems. Promoting psychological
well-being and protecting adolescents from adverse
experiences and risk factors that may impact their
potential to thrive are critical for their well-being
during adolescence and for their physical and
mental health in adulthood.
 Background of the Study (Introduction)
Multiple factors determine mental health outcomes. The more risk factors adolescents of San Roque National High
School are exposed to, the greater the potential impact on their mental health. Factors that can contribute to stress
during adolescence include a desire for greater autonomy, pressure to conform with peers, exploration of sexual
identity and increased access to and use of technology. Media influence and gender norms can worsen the disparity
between an adolescent’s lived reality and their perceptions or aspirations in the near future. Other important
determinants include the quality of their home life and relationships with peers. This research can be an eye-opener
for the students who face their own battles with their mental health

(FOREIGN)
As the students adapt the learning and teaching in
distance, they also adapt the workloads and pressure
from online learning. However, while some students
may thrive through online leaning, the toll of this
virus, isolation, increased workloads are rising among
students and other faculty members (Schroeder,
2020). With this, a higher risk of anxiety and stress
can develop and causes lower immunity subjecting
people to illness and not just the common cold.
(Schroeder, 2020)
“According to counselors Jessica Oyogue and
Courtney Brown at MSU’s Counseling and
Psychiatric Services, or CAPS, feelings of isolation
due to the lack of face-to-face interaction are just
one of the many pitfalls of digital learning” (Wiles,
2020). Oyogue and Brown also added that an
increase in screen time may also increase fatigue,

(FOREIGN)
COVID-19 is a novel infectious disease that has never been seen before. has resulted in a large number of deaths.
Changes in the environment that suddenly occur which are lockdown, quarantine, or physical separation, along with
the loss of loved ones, can have a negative impact on one's lifestyle. The degree to which teenagers' mental health is
impaired is unclear. Three of the findings included in this systematic analysis indicate that COVID-19 has an effect
on teenage mental health, although one report found no effect. Though Oosterhoff et al. found no connection between
social distancing and mental or social wellbeing, this research discovered that reasons for social distancing were
correlated with degree of social distancing as well as depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, burdensomeness, and
belongingness in different ways. .

 PRELIMINARY LITERATURE REVIEW
(LOCAL)
The results shows that, 16.3% of respondents rated
psychological impact of the outbreak as moderate-to-
severe, 16.9% reported to moderate-to-severe
depressive symptoms, 28.8% had moderate-to-severe
anxiety levels and 13.4% had moderate-to-severe
stress levels. When COVID-19 starts in the
Philippines, there are students who are reported due
to psychological impact of the pandemic. This is
alarming because there are many consequences if the
case are still increases.

The lockdown that our government implemented to
lessen the transmission of Corona Virus or also
known as COVID-19 interrupts the social activities
among students. This might cause depression and
loneliness due to social isolation. The study titled,
“Social and Emotional Loneliness among College
Students during the COVID-19 Pandemic; the
Predictive Role of Coping Behaviours, Social
Support and Personal Resilience”, aims to know the
coping behaviours, personal resilience and social
support on students emotional and social loneliness

 PRELIMINARY LITERATURE REVIEW

(LOCAL)
The result of the survey shows that the majority or 89.27% of the students experienced moderate-to-severe levels
of loneliness during lockdown. The numbers of students who feels lonely this pandemic increases. Protective
factors that might lessen the increasing number of students who feel lonely are personal resilience, coping
behaviours, and social support. Tested strategies may increase the personal resilience, social support and coping
behaviors may decrease the emotional and social loneliness that caused by COVID-19 Pandemic.
