• I. Context & Rationale

•
The presence of the global Covid-19 pandemic had put the world into a major stop ever
since the start of 2020 and placed our country, the Philippines, under one of the most affected
countries ever since March of this year. It halted all the normal things that we do and brought
various challenges to the different sectors in the country such as in the field of the economy and
education.
However, we cannot do otherwise but to cope up with the current situation and adjust our
lifestyle so that we may be able to complete our tasks and continue with our lives. This is where
the term “New Normal” was born. In order to accomplish the tasks that we normally do, we have
to do it with restrictions and caution to avoid the threat of catching and spreading the Covid-19
Virus.
Basic education is among the sectors that was heavily affected by as the schools and
other learning centers are closed for physical conduct of classes. However, the agency is also
trying their best as to cope up with the pandemic. The Department of Education is doing their
best to come up with methods and techniques to cater the needs of the learners despite the
challenges that we experience nowadays. Different modalities have been introduced by the
agency to solve the issue of “learning poverty” which the learners were experiencing during the
height of the pandemic.
As stated in the DepEd order No. 12 series of 2020 entitled “Adoption of the Basic
Education Learning Continuity Plan for school year 2020-2021 in light of the Covid-19 Public
4
DIVISION OF CAPIZ
Banica, Roxas City

health Emergency” In order to provide guidance to all the sectors involved DepEd developed the
Basic Education Learning Continuity Plan or BE-LCP which is a package of educational
interventions that will respond to the education challenges brought about by the pandemic.
Through this, the agency formulated various solutions to cater the continuity of education
in the country despite the health threat we are facing. Various learning modalities were
introduced which is very new not just to the learners but to teachers as well. These modalities
include distance learning, blended learning and homeschooling. To further narrow down the
possible modalities to be used as early as the month of May 2020 DepEd conducted a survey on
the capability of households to adopt learning strategies that will be utilized in lieu of traditional
face-to-face classes.
By the end of July DepEd released the data consolidated which states that Modular
learning is the most preferred by both students and parents for the conduct of distance learning
for the coming school year.
DepEd said that 8.8 million stakeholders chose printed modules; followed by blended
learning or the combination of learning through modules, online classes, television, and radio
(3.9 million parents); online learning (3.8 million); educational TV (1.4 million parents); radio-
based instruction (900,000); and other modalities not specified by the agency (500,000).
By the start of the school year 2020-2021 last October 5, 2020 the most widely used
method in learning modality was is the modular learning modality. In this method, printed
modules per subjects are distributed to the learners in which they are given a period of time to
accomplish and return weekly.
However, as months of modular learning went on there was a visible surge in the number
of suicide incidents both students and teachers that occurred which is being linked by the public
5
DIVISION OF CAPIZ
Banica, Roxas City
Tel. No./Fax No. (036) 6210974
with the modular learning method done by the learners. With this occurrence, the clamor of the
public for “Academic freeze” to avoid “Academic Stress” was raised.
Despite having no direct evidence that Modular learning is indeed the main reason of
such occurrence, the Department of education released and official statement last October 20,
2020 which states that the public should stop assuming the suicide cases are related to modular
and distant learning methods. Furthermore, the agency is also doing their best to suggest
measures to foster ‘academic ease’ and help teachers and learners who are still adapting to the
distance learning set-up.
The researcher being and adviser to the Grade 11 Senior high school students have also
observed that the students tend to be stressed out in finishing their modules with the short
deadlines they are being given and since the modules solely relies on reading which most often
is not contextualized nor explained to them in a deeper manner, most of these students tend to
get anxious and some withdraw to the point wherein they don’t answer most of activities and
tasks being assigned. Furthermore, the researcher observed as weeks of modules distribution
goes on, the number of students who passes their modules on time decreases and most
students are asking for extensions of deadlines. When asked for the reason of asking for
extension, most students tend to claim of time constraint and that they are having a hard time in
completing all the tasks given per each subject since most of the students also have chores
done at home. Some tend to reason out the lack of gadgets and internet availability since some
subjects require them to do research and other reason out that there are no guardians/parents to
guide them and help them out in answering parts of the modules they find challenging. Thus,
making them lose their motivation or may elevate their stress. just to finish their modules.
The researcher aims to formulate and provide academic support to those students who
are having a hard time in coping up and are lagging with their modules with the aid of the
6
DIVISION OF CAPIZ
Banica, Roxas City
Tel. No./Fax No. (036) 6210974
Individual Learning Monitoring Plan. Furthermore, the researcher will utilize the Mental Health
and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) as stated on DepEd Task force Covid-19 Memorandum
No.98. which are the range of activities and materials that will promote and protect the
psychosocial well-being of the students and/or prevent or treat mental stress. The researcher will
observe any evident implications of the above mentioned academic support on the cognitive
performance of the students during the distance learning modality set-up
• II. Action Research Questions

•
Generally, this action research aims to determine the Implication of Academic Support on
the Cognitive performance of Homebased Grade 11 students
Specifically, it sought to answer the following questions:
1. What is the Cognitive performance of the Grade 11 students before the Academic
support?
2. What is the Cognitive performance of the Grade 11 students after the Academic
support?
• III. Proposed Innovation, Intervention, and Strategy
The researcher as the Grade 11 adviser will formulate methods and provide academic
support to help motivate those students who are having a hard time in coping up and are lagging
with their modules with the aid of the Individual Learning Monitoring Plan to assess their
performance and to find out which among the students are lagging behind. Furthermore, the
researcher will utilize the Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) strategies and
materials which are the range of activities that will promote and protect the psychosocial well-
being of the students and/or prevent or treat mental stress. The researcher aims to formulate
and provide academic support to those students who are having a hard time in coping up and
are lagging with their modules with the aid of the Individual Learning Monitoring Plan.

performance of the students during the distance learning modality set-up
• IV. Action Research Method

•
• a. Participants/Sources of Data and Information
•
The participants of this investigation were the sixty (60) Grade 11 General Academic
Strand students of Felix Balgos National High School School Year 2020 – 2021.
This study will use purposive sampling in which particular settings, persons or events are
selected deliberately in order to provide important information that cannot be obtained from other
choices (Maxwell, 1996). It is where the researcher includes cases or participants in the sample
because they believe that they warrant inclusion.
• b. Data Gathering Methods

•
 Self-made Test
A self-made test will be prepared which will be answered by the respondents before
and after the intervention is given thru online using the Google Form. The self-made test will
determine the source of stress that may cause stressful situations at any time during the
students’ time of studying.
 Individual Learning Monitoring Plan (ILMP)
The researcher shall assess the students’ Individual Learning Monitoring Plan
(ILMP). It will be used to monitor learner’s progress on given intervention strategies in
meeting the required learning competencies.
 Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) modules for Secondary Students.
