(Cheng et al.

, 2010) stated that helping students to identify the ways that they learn best and
providing them with opportunities to use all their senses and different intelligences is one of the key
challenges for instructors and teachers in modular learning. It is for the reason that unlike traditional
teaching method, teachers and students wouldn’t be able to establish a certain connection between
each other which is very vital in the scholastic learning component of both instructors and students.
Furthermore, another key challenge for the teachers is to come up with a fair rating to what extent the
students are able to acquire and learn all the information they give them through modules unless they
will let them all pass. Primarily because unlike in the traditional way wherein they can be able to
monitor them during tests and exams, it is uncertain that students are really able to adhere to the only
resources given to them like books to answer during tests and exams.

According to (Lapalda, 2020), The teachers are able to express their readiness to switch to
distance learning education in certain ways; however, they felt hampered due to lack of facilities,
equipment, and capacity building to distance learning education. Those resources mentioned can be
potential factors in the efficiency of teaching method of teachers and learning capacity of students in
modular distance learning. It is indeed a burden for teachers because students heavily depend on the
quality of teaching they can offer and with those lack of materials and equipments that instructors really
need, it’ll surely provoke changes that may contribute to the uncertainty of learning efficiency and
capacity of students.

(Kini & Podolsky, 2016) stated that the length of teaching experience affects the readiness
to distance learning education since teachers who have taught for several years have more experience
dealing with difficult times like during natural calamities. Length of experience in teaching is very vital
but the literacy and ability of instructors to adapt on the ways of how modular distance learning can be
well implemented also stand as primary and significant factors for the effectiveness in learning of
students. It is for the reason that length of teaching experience of mentors may not be as important as
to their flexibility to be versatile enough to adapt to the changes brought about by a certain
phenomenon in the teaching and learning method like that of the modular distance learning which is
nowhere near similar to the traditional way.
