 LESSON 1: UNDERSTANDING THE DIFFERENT LDMs
ACTIVITY 1
1. Do a quick check of your knowledge of the four modalities prescribed in the LCP—face to-face (F2F) learning,
DL, blended learning (BL), and homeschooling. In your own words, define each modality. Write your own
definitions in your Study Notebook.

Face-to-Face Learning - A traditional way of teaching and learning process where learners usually to go schools in
order for them to acquire the learning competencies designed for them. It also requires the presence of a teacher
with aids for teaching and providing learning resources to the class for better outcomes.

Distance Learning - Refers to a learning method where learners are provided with materials or tools that they can
study at the comfort of their home. This could also be an online teaching and learning process.

Blended Learning - This method can be a combination of online learning and F2F learning or any combinations of
learning delivery modalities.

Homeschooling - This is a home-based learning method where learner is not required to go to school. They study at
their own pace with the help of their parents/guardians.

2. Which of the LDMs do not have an F2F learning component? Write down your answer in your Study
Notebook

Distance Learning and Homeschooling

ACTIVITY 2
See LDM Module 3A – page 15

ACTIVITY 3
Consider the situation in your School/Division—your organizational capabilities, your level of resources
(infrastructure, financial, human), level of experience in DL, health and safety status, context and capacities of your
learners and their households, etc. Then rank the DL types—MDL, ODL, TVBI, RBI, and BL—from easiest to most
difficult to implement. Give the reasons for your ranking of each. Replicate the following table and write your answers
in your Study Notebook.

 Modular Distance Learning Most of our learners belong to less-fortunate families who are apparently
not capable of providing the necessary tools and equipment like
computer, smartphones, internet connections, television, etc. in order for
them to participate in Online Learning and other learning modalities.
1 Many of them also reside in far-flung areas where signal reception is not
possible so modular distance learning is the best fit modality for them.

Blended Learning When the current situation due to this pandemic becomes better, the
school may include the face-to-face instruction along with the existing
modular learning. This is to provide better instructional support,
monitoring, and evaluation to the learners to ensure that the quality of
2 education is being delivered.

TV-Based Instruction TVBI is possible but not to everyone. As mentioned above, most of the
learners’ families are not capable of providing this type of device.

Radio-Based Instruction Most families in the community now-a-days do not use radios anymore.
In some households this is still present but the signal reception is still
their biggest hurdle.

Online Learning Based from the data collected from the LESFs, a very small number of
learners selected this type of instruction simply because most the
learners are not capable of this as stated in the above explanations.

ACTIVITY 4
The LCP assures that all possible measures will be taken to ensure that no child will be excluded from learning during
the COVID-19 crisis. Think about groups of learners in your School/Division who might require special consideration to
be able to participate in DL. Describe what targeted interventions you would develop to include them. Listed below
are some examples which may be relevant to your context. Add others as appropriate. Write down your answers in
your Study Notebook

LESSON 2: DESIGNING LESSONS AND ASSESSMENTS IN THE DIFFERENT LDMs

ACTIVITY 1
Read DO 42, s2016 on Policy Guidelines on Daily Lesson Preparation. As you go through the document, write down
your answers to the following questions in your Study Notebook:
1. What is Lesson Designing or Lesson Planning?
Lesson designing or lesson planning is the process of determining what learning opportunities students in
school will have by planning "the content of instruction, selecting teaching materials, designing the learning
activities and grouping methods.

2. Why is lesson designing important?

 Lesson designing is imperative to ensure that time is maximized for instruction and learning, lessons are
responsive to learners' needs, teachers set learning targets for learners, and for the teachers to carry out lessons
successfully.

3. What are the three elements or components of a well-designed lesson?

 A clear and articulated set of objectives or what the learners need to learn or acquire.
 A well-selected and well-organized group of learning activities to ensure that the objectives are met.

ACTIVITY 2

The second component of a well-designed lesson asks teachers to select and sequence teaching and learning
activities that would help learners meet the learning objectives. These learning tasks can be presented (1) before the
lesson, (2) during the lesson proper, and (3) after the lesson. In your Study Notebook, copy the following table:

Before the Lesson Lesson Proper After the Lesson

 Review and clarify concepts
and key points from
previous lessons
 State lesson objectives as
guide for learners
 Present connection between
old and new lesson and
establish purpose for new
lesson
 Check learners' prior
knowledge about the new
lesson
 Provide learners with
feedback
 Check for learners'
understanding
 Explain, model,
demonstrate, and illustrate
the concepts, ideas, skills, or
processes that students will
eventually internalize
 Help learners understand
and master new information
 Wrap up activities
 Emphasize key information
and concepts discussed
 Assess whether lesson has
been mastered
 Transfer ideas and concepts
to new situations
 Ask learners to recall key
activities and concepts
discussed
 Reinforce what teacher has
taught

ACTIVITY 3

In your Study Notebook, copy the components of the Daily Lesson Log (DLL) or Detailed Lesson Plan (DLP)
listed below, then highlight which part/s is/are accomplished after the lesson is delivered.

Answer the following questions in your Study Notebook:

 1. For learning tasks not found in the SLM you examined, what materials or resources can you create or curate
to supplement the SLM?
Create printed materials that would supplement the missing learning tasks in the SLMs.

2. What kind of additional support can you give: a) the learner, and/or b) the household partner so that they are
guided throughout the lesson?
Providing additional learning resources like activity sheets/worksheets and constant communication with the
parents/guardians for proper instructions and monitoring.

3. How can the teacher gather feedback on the different learning tasks, in order to refine or modify current and
future lessons?
In MDL, the only way is to retrieve the modules and additional activity sheets/worksheets/outputs for
checking. Teachers may also set up a communication procedure with the parents/guardians for the feedbacks ,
comments, and suggestions.

ACTIVITY 5
Assessment is always a part of designing instruction. Read the DO 8, s2015 on Policy Guidelines on Classroom
Assessment to learn about assessment. In the policy, you will find out about the two types of assessment: formative
and summative. Take note of the similarities and differences between the two. Write your answers in a Venn diagram
in your Study Notebook.

ACTIVITY 6
Which assessment methods can you adapt in DL considering the content area that you are teaching? In your study
notebook, recreate the following table and list five methods that you would like to try. For each one, write how you
plan to use it in DL.

Assessment shall be implied. Learners may be asked to have a vide recording of their activities at home for
proper evaluation. For learners with no capabilities of doing such, their parents/guardians
shall be asked to assess their performance at home and answer the prepared assessment tool
based on the given rubrics.

5.

1. What assessment methods are common among the group members?

Formative and summative assessments are common among the groups simply because these two are integral
parts in the grading system during this time of pandemic.

2. What are the challenges in doing assessment in DL?

The primary challenge in cascading the above-mentioned assessment is the honesty of the learners and
parents in answering those materials. Without the presence of the teachers and the traditional face to face
interaction, it will remain as a major challenge for the teachers and the educational system as a whole. Another
problem that is expected to occur in this type of learning modality is the learning support system of a child which
may lead him/her to having low or poor performance which will reflect to these assessment methods.

3. Despite the challenges, what opportunities can you and your colleagues explore to make assessment doable in
DL?
By attending webinars/trainings in connection to the implementation of distance learning, we are able to learn
various ways in communicating to the learners/parents/guardians to provide instructional assistance especially in
providing assessments that may be confusing to them.
