Bridging Learning through the Blink: An Evaluation Research

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted traditional education systems, necessitating the creation of innovative learning programs. This study evaluates the implementation of Berkeley School Baguio’s BLINK (Berkeley’s Link to the Entire Community) program, an initiative developed to address the challenges posed by distance learning. BLINK integrates information technology with innovative pedagogical approaches, structured around four core Integrative Learning Clusters: Social Literacy, Logical Analysis, Wika at Pagpapakatao, and Psychomotor Skills. Through a process-based evaluation model, this quantitative descriptive research analyzes data gathered from senior high school students who participated in the program during the 2022-2023 academic year, and the teachers who implemented the curriculum especially redesigned for the BLINK. The evaluation focuses on four main areas: time management, content alignment, teaching-learning, and evaluation. The study reveals that students generally agreed with the effective implementation of BLINK, highlighting proper time management, coherent content alignment, diverse teaching methods, and appropriate evaluation strategies. However, unique challenges were identified, such as technological issues and difficulties in teaching-learning processes.
