ABSTRACT: The researchers conducted this study to statistically compare traditional, distant and blended learning on the academic achievement of students at the university level. Data were collected with the aim of finding out which learning pattern; (traditional, distant or blended learning) has a higher average of academic achievement for the university students. Data were analyzed using the one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) test. This confirmed the validity of the study hypothesis, which states that there are statistically significant differences between the achievement averages of the three learning patterns. Byusing the multiple comparison test, a significant difference between the meansof traditional and distant learning patterns was found. There was also significant difference between the means of traditional and blended learning patterns. No significant difference was found between the means of the distant and blended learning patterns on the academic achievement of the university students. The researchers of the study recommended the application of distant or blended learning patterns in university learning because the average academic achievement of the students in these two patterns of learning was greater than that of the traditional learning pattern.
