In education, changes in how students learn, especially with blended learning have made it harder for college teachers to keep students engaged. This descriptive-correlational study looked at how the learning space where students learn and how engaged they are affect their academic performance. The study involved 169 first year Education students at a private college in Cagayan de Oro City. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics as well regression analysis. Data revealed that that the participants were provided with generally high quality of learning spaces in terms of social and technological space whether they are at home or in school but only moderate quality on physical environment at home. For student Engagement, participants were generally highly engaged in their classes in terms of cognitive, behavioral and affective whether they are at home or in school. As for the academic performance, the participants performed "Average" academically in a Blended-learning modality. The participants’ learning space and the quality of their engagement significantly influence their academic performance with social learning space at school best predicts academic performance. Data revealed that a better learning spaces and engagement lead to higher grades, with each improvement increasing scores by 3.19 points. However, these factors explain only 14.4% of grade differences, indicating other influences. Recommendations include teachers adopting new methods, administrators enhancing spaces and providing workshops, and students offering feedback for improvement.
