The Covid-19 pandemic has changed the mode of education as we know it. Face-to-face schools are off; distance learning is on. Unfortunately, distance learning has its downside. It prevents students from easy access to the learning environment, learning resources, and their teachers. Students are now held responsible for their learning more than ever. In response, the researcher created a teaching model to solve the most faced problems in distance learning. The VLAFC (Video Lecture-Accompanied Flipped Classroom) Model is this teaching model. In this model, the video lectures have embedded features that can engage students, enhance cognition, and develop self-regulation. The video lectures were designed and validated using the ADDIE model. To test the effectiveness of the VLAFC teaching model, two participating universities received the intervention. There were 30 CVLs (15 Filipino and 15 English) in 15 topics in General Physics 1, were validated and were distributed. Each university provided data from student portfolios, teachers’ observation notes, and researcher-made survey questionnaires. The student participants perceived the CVLs with good audio-visual quality as effective in delivering the subject matter's content, engaging the students, promoting active learning, and raising cultural awareness. CVLs also brought about positive emotions to students and help them regulate their learning. Based on the test statistics and thematic analysis of the participants' lived experiences, the VLAFC Model effectively improved students’ cognition, engagement, and self-regulation. The next cycle for this action research focuses on disseminating the model by training and giving seminars to as many educators as possible. As for the CVLs, they can be tested to accompany different teaching strategies to maximize their usefulness.
