The implementation of Open High School Program (OHSP) of the Department of Education in the Philippines has encountered many learning engagement and motivation issues based on a SEAMEO evaluation report. As there is no standardized instrument available to measure the readiness of students for blended instruction, the researchers want to address this “gap” by 1) designing a tool that can measure accurately the OHSP learners’ level of readiness to engage in open and blended learning, 2) establishing evidences of the instrument validity and reliability. An Open and Blended Learning Readiness Survey for potential OHSP learners was developed adapting the steps in instrument construction by Colton and Covert (2007). A pilot test was conducted to 50 potential OHSP learners during the first half SY 2016-2017. The analyses of the results of such tests provided evidence that the instrument will produce consistent results over a period of time even if administered on different occasions. Furthermore, this instrument proved to be valid as it would measure what it intends to measure as far as the open and blended learning readiness of high school learners is concerned.
