1. The initial results of the study addressed several outcomes, implications, and possible future directions for blended learning (BL) in higher education in world where information communcation technologies (ICTs) increasingly communicate with each other. The paper investigates the effectiveness of blended learning environment through analyzing the relationship between student characteristics/background, design features and learning outcomes. It is aimed at determining the significant predictors of blended learning effectiveness taking students characteristics background and design features as independent variables and learning outcomes as dependent variables. Multiple regression analysis results showed that blended learning design features technology quality, online tools and face-to-face support and student characteristics attitudes and regulation predicted student satisfaction as an outcome. The results indicate that some of the student characteristics backgrounds and design features are significant predictors for student learning outcomes in blended learning. The teaching and learning environment is embracing a bumber if innovations and some of these evolve the use of technology through blended learning. This innovative pedagogical approach has been embraced rapidly through it goes through a process. One big challenge is how users can successfully use the technology and ensuring participants commitment given the individual learner characteristics and encounters technology. In the context of the rapidly developing scientific and technical revolution, the education and training sector has actively implemented tasks and solutions to enhance support management, teaching, learning, assestment, scientific research , and the application of information and communication technology. Nonetheless, the online learning paradigm offers valuable tools that could supplement or replace aspects of traditional lecture and textbook based approach to teaching and learning. First, pre-class online video assignments may offer advatages over textbook assignments, especially for introductory science courses with complex and dense material that unfamiliar to beginning students. Reading a textbook engages mainly visual, language conphrehension and cognitive neutral pathways and requires that the reader is able to select the most relevant material for application for application to the course. Video instruction, on the other hand adds auditory engagement to visual, language, comphrehension and cognitive process and allows for more varid emphasis on the importance of content. Video assignments are typically more engaging for a large introductory course and may stimulate greater engagement with the course material. Blended learning in the

2. Philippines is still considered new and young in blended learning. However, this growing demand for blended learning possseses problems and challenges that are noteworthy to investigate, specially in emerging higher education institutions, which hinder effective and efficient delivery of teaching and learning process. Blended learning is a learning approach that combines traditional and face-to-face teaching method with online based instructions. Addressing the growing belief that this is an entirely fresh approach , several colleges and universities have been giving online modules to test their students as part of the curricuculum. In spite of this statement, challenges surrounding online learning still persist during the present time. That said; with proper knowledge and support  from the government, well be able to achieve a fruitful semester.

3. Studying at home surely provides students ease and freedom to do things at their own will and pace. They can manage their time on their own and they can access their modules in advance. If not done wisely, they may end up cramming until the last minute of their deadlines. Hence, this prompts them to practice proper time management at an early age. In this set-up, most quizzes are done virtually. Thus, students can receive their scores after checking. This features not only help students but also add perks for the teachers. Through this fast feedback system, teachers will have a firm graps of their students' weak areas and create a better plan to bridge this learning gap.

Based on the study's initial results, the study design is applicable in the context of an actual classroom still in a blended format. Blending learning (BL) mode of instruction is very promising because it offers flexibility in terms of time and learning style of the learners. One type of blended learning is flipped classroom. Based on the study design, the researchers developed online web-based instructional materials and modules, then allowed their pilot study participant to work in an actual laboratory. Flipped classroom has an akin mechanism as described in the study. It enables learners to browse and master the content knowledge by studying provided modules and supplementary materials (e.g., animations, laboratory techniques demonstration videos, simulations) at home at their own pace, time, and style. This allows learners to assimilate the content without constrictions commonly encountered in a typical classroom set-up. The approach provides more freedom for the learners to manage and augment their learning. And when students attend school, the teacher only needs to facilitate the actual learning experience of the learners by guiding them in administering hands-on laboratory experiments, provided that they have already undergone training and workshop pertinent to several laboratory techniques. This is a win-win case for both the learners and the teacher.

The BL set-up is feasible in the Philippine classroom but for certain schools only because not all Filipino students can access laboratory equipment, such as tools needed to conduct molecular techniques. The provision of instructional materials is possible; however, hands-on laboratory experience is limited to no avail. Modules can still be provided in print since internet access is a constraint for most students; however, one size does not fit all. According to Harvard psychologist Howard Gardner, learners have different bits of intelligence (Visual-Spatial, Bodily-Kinesthetic, Musical, Linguistic, Logical-Mathematical, Interpersonal, Intrapersonal, Naturalistic) that must be addressed and enhanced. If learners were provided with e-copy of the materials to include supplementary materials, the problem comes with the availability of technological tools such as smartphones and laptops. The context of the study was drastically different compared to the existing educational system of the Philippines. The disparity of resources alone hinders most Filipino learners from a quality and optimum learning experiences.

Since Filipino and Hawaiian students' learning situations do not coincide, a paradigm shift must be implemented to address the constraints mentioned above. Partnership, especially in the business industry, is ubiquitous to achieve a common goal of success and prosperity. Maybe this business model is also feasible between the private sector and education. Ironically, a lot of companies require a competent workforce who can provide world-class services. But, looking at the actual training of learners in basic and tertiary education, mostly but not all, does not reflect the qualifications required by industry players. It is already time to establish a partnership between the education sector and massive industry players to provide standard-based instruction to Filipino students, the future nation builders. The private sector can lend its facilities and resources, and in return, they can acquire quality human resources. Cite for instance, university hospitals can allow science learners to be engaged in laboratory research at the onset of their basic education and be aware of the needs of Filipinos in the healthcare industry. Such training can also be provided to educators to furtherly capacitate them in molding the maximum potential of young learners in pursuing their areas of interest. This ensures the country's future to be at pace with world standards in parallel with the study's goal.

I strongly believe that the strategies used by the researchers in developing online learning materials in molecular biology are effective. The study used a mixed-methods approach, which included surveys, focus group discussions, and performance tasks, to evaluate the materials' effectiveness. It also emphasized the importance of involving stakeholders, such as subject matter experts and students, in the development process to ensure that the materials are relevant, engaging, and effective.

Moreover, the researchers used a participatory approach in developing the materials, which allowed for continuous feedback and improvement. This aspect of the study highlights the significance of ongoing engagement with stakeholders to create materials that meet their needs and expectations.

It is feasible to implement the study design in actual classrooms provided there is adequate technology and internet access. Online materials provide flexibility and accessibility for students. However, limited resources in some areas of the Philippines classroom may pose challenges in terms of technology access.

To adjust the study design to the Philippines classroom, it may be necessary to adapt the materials to the local context and ensure that they align with the national curriculum. It is also crucial to provide training and support for both students and teachers in the usage of technology and online learning. Overcoming the issue of limited technology and internet access in some areas is also vital to the study's feasibility and effectiveness.

The study's results demonstrate the effectiveness of developing online learning materials in molecular biology. By making appropriate modifications and offering support, the study design can be utilized effectively in the Philippines classroom.

Given the advancements in technology and the rising popularity of distance learning, it is not only possible but also strongly advised to create online training resources in molecular biology. The creation of online training materials has a number of benefits, such as:
1. Accessibility: Since online training materials are available from any location with an internet connection, students can more easily access them and study at their own speed.
2. Flexibility: Since online training materials are always accessible, students can study whenever it is most convenient for them.
3. Interactivity: Online training materials may include interactive elements that engage students and improve their learning process, such as quizzes, movies, and simulations.
When creating instructional materials for molecular biology, it is essential to make sure that the information is current, accurate, and presented in a clear and concise way. The same goes for creating online training materials for the subject. Animations and movies can be used to illustrate difficult concepts and make the information more interesting.

It is also feasible in our country through the following:
1. Sharing of learning resources: Before the training session, the instructor provides the participants with learning materials, including lecture notes, powerpoint slides, and videos.

2. Conducting the training session: The teacher conducts the training session using a virtual platform, interacting with the participants via audio and video features. Through the chat or Q&A feature, people can also ask questions and offer feedback.

3. Practical exercises: The instructor may offer practical exercises that the students can finish on their own or in groups in order to reinforce what they have learned.

One of the most important aspects of our lives is technology, which gives us more freedom and a variety of ways to live differently while also making this world easier to live in. Because we live in a technological age, technology is a necessity in every aspect of our lives. For instance, technology has created the strongest communication link between people on earth, allowing them to travel anywhere they want and communicate with each other from any location. We are already familiar with online training materials in our current situation, and as teachers, this training will assist not only teachers but also students in creating meaningful learning through technology.

Students benefit from this online molecular biology training material in ways like:
1. Personalized Learning -Online courses may be advantageous for students who find that classroom activities make it difficult to concentrate. When communicating online, less assertive students may have more opportunities to contribute to class discussions. A more individualized learning experience may result from working in the environment of your choice and learning at your own pace.
2.Access to Course Materials on a Repeated Basis- While traditional lectures depend on your ability to take good notes, video presentations allow you to watch them as many times as you like. A student may re watch a video lecture if they feel like they didn't fully comprehend some of the material. Lecture videos can be used by students as an extra resource to assist with conflicting assignments.
3. Improved Time Management Capabilities- While the flexibility of completing assignments at a time that is most convenient for the student is one of the advantages of online learning, the student must still use time management skills to complete their assignments by the deadlines set by the professor. Since the student is responsible for engaging with the course rather than just showing up to class on a scheduled day and time, online courses help students learn better time management skills. As a result, students improve their time management skills in addition to learning new information from their coursework.
As teachers, we must always be aware that learning materials can significantly raise students' achievement by supporting learning before developing instructional materials in molecular biology. For instance, an educational video might offer a learner fresh perspectives, and a fun worksheet might offer the learner fresh chances to put newly acquired knowledge to use.

I recommend the following for the development of classroom environments in our country:

1. More teacher trainings that focus not only on pedagogy but also on the major subject handled by the teacher- Teachers are able to return to the classroom and modify their lecture styles and curricula to better meet the needs of their students when they learn new teaching strategies through professional development. However, because they are frequently implemented gradually, these changes are challenging to evaluate. By introducing educators to new delivery techniques, evaluation styles, and record-keeping techniques, professional development for teachers helps them become more effective in their lectures and course evaluations.

2. Giving students either written or performance exercises-It is used to monitor how well students are meeting learning standards and developing 21st century skills, to encourage self-reflection and personal responsibility among students, and to serve as a foundation for performance profiling.

3. The lesson content must be accurate and include a variety of examples- Explanations and examples are effective tools for enhancing and deepening student learning. Finding the best examples and knowing when and how to use them are challenges that teachers face.
