Abstract

This study explored factors influencing the adoption of flexible learning by university students at Dr. Emilio B. Espinosa Sr. Memorial State College of Agriculture and Technology (DEBESMSCAT), a public university in Masbate, Philippines. A descriptive research survey approach was used with 1,137 respondents. Students relied on parents or guardians (45.3%) for support and used smartphones (57.4%) and basic cellphones/keypads (24.4%) for flexible learning. Most had internet access (75.5%) but relied on mobile data (72.8%), the slowest type of connection. Online (23.5%) and modular (22.9%) instruction was preferred over on-campus classes. Key barriers were lack of budget for load allowance (32.9%), unstable internet connection (31.4%), and unavailability of gadgets (15.2%). The study recommends addressing financial barriers for better academic outcomes.
