Implementation Effective Modular Distance 65
Learning (Modular Printed) Attendees
The present COVID 19 pandemic hit all over the world and brought different challenges in life especially in educational sectors. As
technology and internet connectivity remain problem for most students and teachers as well, the Department of Education ensures that
learning remains unhampered, that education for millions of Filipino students should not wait. Hence, the Department of Education still
implementing a distance learning approach- providing printed module materials for them.
With this approach, Deped Order No.020, s. 2020 ensure the delivery of basic education despite the pandemic facing several challenges
in various forms in fulfillment of its mandate of delivering quality, equitable, and cultural-based education without compromising the
health, safety, and well- being of its people especially the teachers and learners all over the country.
Despite of many challenges, pressures that arise experiencing from the parent, students and most especially for the teachers from the
beginning of the so called New Normal, learning through printed materials still the most preferred distance learning method of parents for
this school year. Considering the learners in rural areas where internet is not accessible for online learning. Using modules requires the
students to become independent that they should engage themselves in learning presented in the module. It develops also a sense of
responsibility in accomplishing the tasks from the module.
Thus, teachers also have a huge role in monitoring the progress of their learners. Teachers should collaborate with their students as
well. That teacher should provide prompt and accurate and feedback to students to facilitate learning. Therefore, a teacher must manage
the so-called modular learning approach to meet the needs and to help the learners cope with the new normal setting.
In line with this, Lecheria Integrated School conducted its first School Learning Action Cell entitled Session 1 “Effective Modular
Distance Learning (Modular Printed) Implementation: Methods and Techniques.” spearheaded by the LAC Coordinator Mr. Jonathan
Villanueva and the rest of LAC-PMS Committee with full support from the school head, faculty and staff last September 29, 2021 at 9:00 in
the morning via google meet and Facebook live. With this Learning Action Cell session, it will surely provide the teachers with necessary
knowledge and skills to upskill and reskill themselves to thrive in the new normal education.
After the opening program, the speaker presented the key points to discuss. First in line is the Distance Learning in the Philippines, second
is about Modular Learning, third is the City Colleges of Calamba Practices Implementing and lastly is about the Success of Learning through
Modular Instruction. During her first discussion, she defined the learning delivery mode where interaction takes place between the teacher
and the students who are geographically remote from each other during the instruction. She mentioned some countries which conducted
the shift to distance learning like United States, India, South Korea, China, Malaysia, United Kingdom, Australia and South Africa. These
countries handled the shift to distance learning by setting contingency plans like their practices, using common curriculum and curated
resources, investing teacher’s skills and ensuring the kids together with their families for
their needs.
Like the other countries the Philippines had also Distance Learning such as modular
distance learning, online distance learning and TV/Radio-Based Instruction. So far, the most
common distance learning required is the modular printed material. With that kind of
distance learning teachers as well as students had faced many challenges in implementing
with it. Mentioning some are struggling in collecting, limited interactions, availability of
materials, lack of modules, availability of parents, health risk, authentic outputs and so on.
The speaker also emphasized the 3 major challenges of Distance Learning in the country the
first one is not good for the mental health, next is students didn’t learn as much compared to
face to face learning and last is inaccurate modules, not enough gadgets and low
connectivity from the internet. However, it is better to expedient modular distance learning
than academic freeze because at the end of the day students as well as teachers remain safe
from the virus while having learning at home. It is also considered more variety of teaching
and learning opportunities both for the teachers and the learners. In Modular Learning she
also pointed out data gathered via Deped National learner enrolment and Survey Forms
(LESFs) that 8.8 out of the 22.2 million enrollees preferred modular distance learning for the
upcoming school year. Meanwhile 3.9 (17.6%) million enrollees were partial blended learning
using combination of different modalities, 3.8 million (17.1%) preferred online learning, and 1.4
million and 900,000 enrollees preferred TV-based and radio- based learning.
