Abstract : This study evaluated Quipper LMS utilization in the Junior High School Department as a basis for a blended learning model under the Revised MATATAG Curriculum. The main objective of this study was to identify the level of Quipper LMS utilization, the level of Quipper LMS effectiveness, and the relationship between Quipper LMS utilization and its perceived efficiency in blended learning delivery. The study used a descriptive-correlational research design and a survey instrument to gather comprehensive knowledge of teachers' and students' views and opinions on the Quipper LMS. The findings shed light on how Quipper LMS is being used and perceived within the Junior High School Department under the Revised MATATAG Curriculum, revealing its role in supporting content delivery, assessment, learner engagement, and competency attainment. Moreover, the results underscore that making blended learning genuinely effective goes beyond the platform itself — it requires stronger teacher preparation, greater technological readiness, and stronger support systems for both teachers and learners. Drawing on these conclusions, the study acts as a foundation for developing a Blended Learning Model to guide schools in meaningfully integrating Quipper LMS into the Revised MATATAG Curriculum. Ultimately, this proposed model aspires to create a more flexible, learner-centered, and technology-supported learning environment that uplifts both teaching practice and student outcomes.
