Gabay sa Magulang/Tagapag-alaga

Isinulat ang modyul na ito upang gabayan ang mag-aaral na

linangin ang kaniyang aspektong personal at sosyal, akademiko, at
karera. Dinisenyo ito para sa distance learning o alternatibong
pamamaraan ng pagkatuto na hindi nangangailangan ng pisikal na
presensya sa paaralan, bilang tugon sa direktiba na pagkansela ng
face-to-face class dulot ng pandemyang Covid-19.
Malaki ang gagampanin ng mga magulang upang
mapagtagumpayan ang mga gawaing nakalatag dito. Kakailanganin ng
mag-aaral ang inyong patnubay at gabay sa modyul na ito. Kung kaya,
hinihingi ng DepEd ang inyong suporta na makatutulong upang
mapagtagumpayan ng mag-aaral ang mga hamon sa buhay,
maisakatuparan ang mga inaasahang gawain at higit sa lahat,
matutunan ang mga kasanayan sa buhay na kailangan nilang taglayin
sa yugtong ito.
Sa modyul na ito, inaanyayahan ang mga magulang na
tulungan ang mag-aaral upang buoin ang “Let’s Try This.” Sa
pamamagitan ng inyong tulong, makikita niya ang kahalagahan ng
mga gawaing pampaaralan at pang-komunidad na magiging bahagi ng
kanyang kasanayang pang-akademiko. Mas makikilala ninyo ang
kanilang interes at kakayahan na magiging kapaki-pakinabang sa
kanyang pag-abot sa kanyang mga mithiin sa buhay.
Tiyakin na sasagutin niya ang bawat bahagi ng modyul nang
tapat. Siguraduhing maipapasa niya ang kaniyang sagutang papel sa
petsa at oras na itinakda ng kaniyang gurong-tagapayo.

Introductory Message

For the learner:

This new normal life ushers many different challenges. It is important to know
how to continue life and how to face those challenges. As the popular adage goes,
“Dont wish for it to be easier. Wish you were better.” This quote also reminds us to
continue doing what we are doing.

This module is composed of different tasks for you to realize how the lessons
in school and in your community are important. This could also help you understand
the things that affect you to be able to stay focus on learning and in dealing with
different challenges.

Work on the tasks seriously; seek help from a family member on some activities
should you need to. Keep in mind that all the lessons learned from school and the
community will be a big help for your own learning pace for success.

This self-learning module has six indicative tasks, which are as follows:

Let’s Try This – which will help you to get ready to learn;

Let’s Explore This – which will guide you towards what you need to learn;

Keep in Mind – which will give you the lessons that you need to learn and
understand;

You Can Do It – which will help you apply the lessons learned in daily
activities;

What I Have learned – which will test and evaluate your learning; and

Share Your Thoughts and Feelings – which will help you express your

Introduction

Can you imagine how hard it is to climb up a coconut tree especially if it

is your first time and you are the first person to climb it? It will probably amaze you to
see how farmers take their easy way up to those tall trees. The first climb is the hardest
because the person who climbs first marks and cuts slits on the bark of the tree that
will serve as foot stop for the next person who will climb it.
This is similar to your experience as a learner. Your family, the school and the
community can help you in determining the path that will lead you to success. In this
module, you will learn how other people in your lives and in the community can
influence you.

L.E.A.R.N.I.N.G: My Road to Success

Academic success is not merely having high grades, excelling in rote
memorization, or taking up multiple courses. Academic success is a good mix of
learning the lesson and at same time making sense of what you have learned. How
will you know if you are learning and if you will be able to achieve academic success?
Here are some important points that you can take note about L.E.A.R.N.I.N.G

List down important information; more than the required notes as part of the
academic requirement, it is important that you utilize note-taking as an important skill
in studying and learning. This will help you in keeping a record and in the retrieval of
information that you might need in the future.

Engage in learning activities. These may not always happen in school or as
initiated by your subject teachers. Learning activities may be any learning
opportunity that you may experience at home, in school or in your community.

Ask relevant questions. Asking questions or inquiry is part of the learning

process. Do not hesitate to ask questions in order for you to have a better
understanding about something that interests you or about things that may not be
clear for you. Through asking questions, it will be easier for you to make sensible
judgment, and eventually make better decisions.

Read, read, read! Reading is an important skill that you will use profoundly in your
daily life. Make it a habit to allot an hour or two for reading. Reading will help you
gain better understanding about many things.

Nurture your interests. Be with people who support your plans and interest, and
participating in relevant activities. The people around you can share information,
skills and talents that will better engage you.

Initiate action. In learning something new, it is important to act on it. You should
not wait for others to push you to learn new things. This is the best time to acquire
new skills and to enjoy the huge information available in books, websites and other
materials around you. You may ask the help from your older siblings or other family
members. Asking question is an initial action toward learning.

Navigate your direction. Along with initiating action, it is important that you
navigate or plan how you want to proceed. Take time to make a plan of action and
look at possibilities on how you can apply what you have learned in your daily life
experience.

Get things done. Finishing what you started is a way to maximize learning. At this
point, you may have a lot of interests and you are eager to learn, however, it is
important that when you start something, you also need to finish it. Setting a time
table will be helpful.
