Parental Lived Experience on the Use of Printed Module

Dangle and Sumaong (2020) concluded, “The great number of activities in each
module is one of the main problems that emerged in the implementation of Modular
Distance Learning.”
Mortola (2020) stated, "We have found out that learners who can't do
independent learning and have illiterate parents find it difficult to grasp learning
especially that the elders that they depend upon, cannot teach them because they don't
know the concepts inside the module. This is one factor that hinders the effective

Servito (2020) clarified, “Parents are partners of teachers in education. They are

Lesaca (2020) stated, “…modular learning could actually provide insights and
presentation. The most important one is that it allows for better evaluation and more
focused revision and improvement. Modifying a module is easier and more cost
effective than revising a course or one large module. Another advantage to a modular
approach is that parts of the course can be used and reused elsewhere in other courses.
Courses that are already in a modular format are ultimately more flexible and easier to

The researcher may use a variety of methods for observing, including taking

exactly equal chance of being selected. This method is the most straightforward of all
the probability sampling methods, since it only involves a single random selection and
