Gamboa, EdD Abstract: This exploratory sequential mixed-method aimed to determine the perspectives, adjustments, possible solutions to the challenges experienced, and the significant effect of being an undergraduate parent who served as the learning facilitator during the pandemic. Twelve undergraduate parents participated in interviews for the qualitative phase and fifty undergraduate parents participated in the survey for the quantitative phase of this research. The findings showed that five themes emerged in the qualitative phase which are the perspectives of undergraduate parents, views of parents on the effectiveness of distance learning, adjustments of undergraduate parents, problems encountered by undergraduate parents, and possible solutions in dealing with the problems of undergraduate parents. For the quantitative phase, the findings revealed that 72.00% of the key informants were female and there was a significant difference in the characteristics and attitudes of the population when grouped according to sex. In terms of age, the majority ranges from 26-30 years old but there was no significant difference in all the variables. The data showed that the key informants highly practiced the indicators on the perspectives, the effectiveness of distance learning had both acceptable and unacceptable interpretations in various indicators, the adjustments and challenges mostly true and the proposed solutions acceptable. This showed that the key informants agreed with the indicators provided by the researchers and the findings can also be adapted and used as a basis by future researchers to know and understand the experiences of undergraduate parents as learning facilitators during the COVID-19 pandemic.
