This research focused on exploring the online research experiences of 271 Senior High School (SHS) students in Luzon, Philippines. The study delved into the factors that influence students’ choice of learning modes, whether asynchronous (ASM) or synchronous (SM) and compared their anticipated performance with their actual academic achievement. The participants were self-selected grade 12 students from various strands: Accounting and Business Management, Humanities and Social Sciences, and Science, Technology and Engineering. The results have revealed that overall, there is a significant difference (p-value=.000) in the projected performance (x̄=4.64) of 204 ASM students compared to their actual achievement (x̄=4.94). Likewise, a significant difference (p-value=.006) is also evident in the projected performance (x̄=4.94) of the 67 SM students compared to their actual achievement (x̄=5.23). Furthermore, it is of note that the SM students projected higher performance and actually attained better marks, with a significant difference (p-value=.000) in actual achievement compared to their ASM counterparts. Analysis of qualitative data has revealed factors that influenced this disparity include internet connection issues, communication challenges, learning environment, time management, and group dynamics. Additionally, effective teaching practices that facilitated the completion of collaborative research projects were identified and these include clarity of learning materials, reasonable deadlines, teacher support and understanding, availability for consultation and feedback, and interactive and engaging teaching methods. Consequently, these results can be used to inform and improve research teaching practices, learning materials design, and assessment tools development. More significantly, it may be used as basis for institutional policies about online research learning.
