INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study

During this pandemic face-to-face and modular learning has

turned into an important alternative for reforming the entire

traditional education system. According to Marin-Diaz, V., April 2021,

E-Learning vs. Face-To-Face Learning: Analyzing Students’

Preferences and Behaviors, Sustainability, both teachers and students

had to cope with the changes. Wherein, they have to adjust their

behaviors, teaching/learning style, assessment methods, and so forth.

This reform has brought about several benefits, but has caused

tensions and frustrations among both the beneficiaries of the teaching

act and the educational actors. In order to streamline the educational

process, especially the one carried out in the Grade-12 students of

Pang-Pang National High School environment, creative and

constructive interventions are required. Those would solve specific

problem and could lead to ensuring the sustainability of education. At

this point, questions arise. If we managed to replace face-to-face

learning with modular learning in a short period of time, will thing

return to normal at a certain moment? It seems that the world has

focused almost entirely on modular learning for a longer shorter time

adapting and re-adapting to the new reality. The reference for the

necessity of modular learning had brought a question between this

form of education and the face-to-face one.

Thus, the dichotomy of modular-learning versus face-to-face

learning and all that it entails has been given the attention of

researchers for a while. Experts in the fields of education and

technology have studied this topic from various perspectives, such as

the differences between modular-learning and face-to-face learning,

the advantages and disadvantages of one over the other, students

attitudes towards one form and/or the other, their emotions, whether

positive or negative, and their sense of belonging. In addition, some

studies show that e-learning does not have the same impact as face-

to-face learning. It seems that online students may lose their focus

and miss deadlines for different tasks.

Statement of the Problem

This study aimed to determine the effect of face-to-face and

modular classes to the level of learning of Grade 12 students of Pang-

Pang National High School.

Specifically, it sought to answer the following questions:

 1. What is the effect of the face-to-face and modular classes to the

level of learning of the respondents when grouped as to age?

2. What is the effect of the face-to-face and modular classes to the

level of learning of the respondents when grouped as to sex?

3. What is the effect of the face-to-face and modular classes to the

level of learning of the respondents when grouped as to strand?

3. Is there a significant difference in the effect of the face-to-face

and modular classes to the level of learning of the respondents

when grouped as to age and sex and to strand?

Hypothesis

There is no significant difference in the effect of face-to-face and

modular classes to the level of learning of the Grade 12 Senior High

School students of Pang-Pang National High School when grouped as

to age, sex and strand.

the dependent variable is the effect of face-to-face and modular

classes to the level of learning.

Significance of the Study

The result of the study will benefit the following:

School. This study could give ideas and information to the school on

how to facilitate the students with face-to-face and modular classes.

Teachers. This study would help the teachers in dealing and

assessing their students on what mode of learning suits well on a

particular group of students.

Students. This study might help the students to identify what are the

effects of face-to-face and modular learning.

Future Researchers. The result will give information to future

researchers who would pursue a study similar to this one.

Scope and Limitation of the Study

 The study focuses in determining the effect of face-to-face and

modular classes to the level of learning of the Grade 12 Senior High

School students of Pang-Pang National High School. The respondents

are the 108 Grade 12 Senior High School students who are enrolled at

Pang-Pang NHS for the school year 2021-2022.

Definition Of Terms

Effect - a change which is a result or consequence of an action or

other cause. (1989, Oxford English Dictionary)

In this study, effect refers to the result of the face-to-face and

modular classes to the Grade 12 students.

Face-to-Face Class - This is where the teacher and the student meet

in a set place for a set time, for either one-on-one learning or, most

commonly, in group class lessons similar to what happens in school.

(2006, headspace.org.au)

In this study, face-to-face class refers to the mode class wherein

students and teachers met at school to facilitate learning.

Learning - the acquisition of knowledge or skills through experience,

study, or by being taught. (1989, Oxford English Dictionary)

 In this study, learning refers to the knowledge acquired by

students in a face-to-face or modular class.

Modular Class - is the current learning modality of primary education

in the Philippines where traditional teacher-student practice has now

been shifted to mother-child since mothers are the immediate

assistants of their child in modular learning. (Journal of Learning and

Development Studies)

In this study, modular class refers to the mode of class where

teachers give their students a module for the students to answer at

home with the help of their parents and then bring it back to the

teacher after a given time.

METHODOLOGY
This chapter presents the research design, the respondents of the

study, the locale of the study, the instrument, the data gathering

procedures and the data analysis.

Research Design

The descriptive method of research was used in this study. Descriptive

method of research explains what the prevailing condition is. This

study tried to determine the effect of face-to-face and modular classes

to the level of learning of grade 12 students of Pang-Pang National

High School and therefore descriptive method of research is the

appropriate method to use in this study.

Locale of the Study

This study will be conducted at Pang-Pang National High School,

Pang-Pang, Sibalom, Antique.

Respondents of the Study

The respondents of the study were the 108 Senior High School

students of Pang-Pang National High School. They will be used as the

respondents of the study in order to determine the effect of face-to-

face and modular classes to the level of learning of grade 12 students

of Pang-Pang National High School.

Research Instrument
 The researchers drafted an instrument which included the

respondent’s personal information as to age, sex and strand. To

determine the effects on the students a validated questionnaire will be

used in this study.

Data Gathering Procedure

After the panel approved and validated the questionnaire, it will be

immediately reproduced and conducted among the respondents with

the necessary permission secured from the school, teachers and the

students. After the test administered, it will be retrieved, checked,

classified, tabulated, encoded and analyzed in order to get the

impression.

Data Analysis Procedure

Frequency count and percentages will be used to determine the

number of the respondents as a whole and when they were groups as

to age, sex and strand.

Mean was used to determine the effect of face-to-face and modular

classes to the level of learning of grade 12 students of Pang-Pang

National High School.

One-way ANOVA will be used to test the significance of the difference

in the effect of face-to-face and modular classes to the level of learning

of grade 12 students of Pang-Pang National High School as to age, sex

and strand.
