Abstract
Students are forced to adapt to the new learning modes, modular and online classes, of the
new normal due to the Pandemic. It is evident that everyone has different motivational levels and capabilities
that affect their academic performance and it also depends on the type of learning mode they are dealing with.
The results of this study helped determine and understand the motivational levels of senior high students in the
new normal. With the use of an online survey questionnaire prepared by the researchers, the students who were
chosen to be research respondents were asked to answer carefully and honestly according to their respective
experiences with their learning modes.
The researchers assessed the experiences of students in both learning modes and how they
cope up with the situation by investigating which factors affected their motivation and its causes, and how the
low/high motivation levels affect the student's academic performance. Results yield that students who are in
modular classes tend to lose motivation easily compared to online classes as it is difficult because they don?t
meet with teachers to help and guide them in answering the modules, instead they learn on their own. It?s not
only classes that affect the students but also other factors such as the internet speed and resources that they need
to have so that they can listen efficiently in class.
