Background and Theoretical Framework of the Study

Students and teachers face to face learning engagement within the school has been

suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This pandemic has paved the way to the

implementation of Modular Distance Learning as an urgent response to ensure continuity of

education. The Philippines is in the process of adapting to the new normal form of education at

present, and continuous innovations of educators and active involvement of other stakeholders

are the driving force for its success.(www.icate. org)

The key purpose of this research is to find out the feedback and challenges encountered

in the implementation of Modular Distance Learning in Capiz State University Sigma Satellite

College. These challenges, opinions and recommendations were identified through a mixed
quantitative and qualitative approach by conducting surveys to the 30 selected BSHM students

through quota and purposive sampling. Deductive thematic analysis was used in the

interpretation and coding of data.(www.icate.org)

The main challenges that emerged are that students struggle with self studying, and also

the small amount of monthly family income to support their child/childrens printed output, and

poor internet connections that is used in research. In conclusion, the study was able to

determine the prevailing challenges of the participants in terms of resources, preparedness,

and communication. The result of this study may serve as a springboard for the future

improvements of the schools' existing programs and guidelines on the implementation of

modular distance learning.

Modular learning provides flexibility for accessing learning content for enlightening

learning accomplishment. Mobile learning equips students with the choice to learn at their

personalized place, pace and using convenient learning approach. The influence of modular

learning on students’ productivity is likely to increase when flexibility intervenes as mediator.

(Olasina, 2018)

Modular learning lets students decide about where, what and how to learn, thus

managing the bulky inflow of knowledge effectively through acquired flexibility. Consequently,

they are capable of using the huge influx of information resourcefully. Moreover, flexibility in

terms of portability, accessibility and assessment emerges to provide maximum comfort to the

learners.(Fuegen, 2012)
 There are multiple benefits of m-learning, extended not only to giving quick access to

learning material but also enabling innovative thinking and problem solving in the learners

(West, 2013). Students are unaware of the benefits they can accomplish by utilizing technology

up to extreme potential. This is one of the reasons of declining students’ performance as they

spend most of their time using social media applications.

Statement of the Problem

 The study aim to know the feedback of the BSHM students of CapSU to modular

learning. Specifically, this study sought answer to the question:

- Is there a significant difference in students interest when classified according to monthly

family income, self studying, and poor internet connections.

Significance of the Study

This provided new ideas regarding the feedback of the BSHM students of

CapSU Sigma in modular learning. The results of this study may be

beneficial to the students, parents, future researchers, teachers and school

administrators.

the modular learning importance and challenges. The results may help students

to think ways or activities to improve their knowledge about modular

learning.

Parents. Parents will gain knowledge from the results of

this study in order for them to know the difficulties of modular learning.

They will also gain insights from the results of the study that

their guidance and support are needed to help their students to

boost their interest in studies using modules and they may also
coordinate to the teachers to improve the interest of their

students in learning.

Future Researchers. This study can give other researchers baseline data and related

information on the feedback of BSHM students to modular learning.

Teachers. By this study the teachers will be able to know the difficulties that the BSHM

students faces on modular learning. The study will help them to analyze and decide what they

need to improve to help the BSHM students lower the difficulty of learning through modules.

School Administrators. By this study the school

administrators will be able to determine the feedback of BSHM students

in modular learning.

Scope and Limitation of the Study

The study used survey research design to determine the feedback

of BSHM Students of CapSU Sigma in modular learning.

The respondents were the 30 students out of BSHM Students of CapSU

Sigma selected through stratified random sampling.

Researchers adopt a survey questionnaire on the feedback of 30

BSHM students of CapSU Sigma.

 The independent variables covered the Monthly Family Income

and the dependent variable were limited to the Feedback on modular

learning.

Frequency count, percentage, mean, and standard deviation as

descriptive statistical tools were utilized for data analysis.

Moreover, the t-test, and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)were used

for inferential data analysis.

A two-tailed test was used at 5% level of significance for

all inferential analysis.

Definition of Terms

The following are the conceptual and operational meanings of

the terms used in the study.

Feedback- the transmission of evaluative or corrective information about an action,

event, or process to the original or controlling source. (merriam-webster. com)

In this study "feed back" refers to the one that influence the development of the thing

that has given rise to it.

Monthly Family Income – Total income from all people living

in a particular household (Business Dictionary, 08/01/17).

In this study “monthly family income” refers to the

independent variable that influenced the level of interest of the

students in science classified as High (above Php 10,000),

Average (Php 5,001 – Php 10,000), Low (below Php 5,000).

Student – refers to student who is enrolled or attended

classes at a school, college, or university

(http://www.thefreedictionary.com, 07/29/2017).

In this study, “students” refers to the respondents the

BSHM students of CapSU Sigma.

Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management (BSHM) - focuses on ensuring customer

safety and comfort in a hotel, restaurant or entertainment facility. Hospitality management

centres on customer satisfaction that would lead to his loyalty and repeated business.

(Shortcoursesportal. com)

In this study "Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management (HM)" refers to the course

in CapSU Sigma where Students in hospitality management usually have the opportunity to

receive hands-on experience in real hospitality organisations. Hospitality management

integrates theories from similar disciplines like: commerce, business administration and supply

chain management and logistics.

Review of Related Literature

 This chapter is organized into One part namely; (1) Feedback of Hospitality Management

Students of CapSU Sigma in modular learning.

The First Part, Feedback of students in modular learning discusses the different studies

concerning the challenges when classified according to monthly family income, poor internet

connections and self studying.

Modular Learning

McInnis (2000) Barnett et al (2004) argued that the curriculum receives scant

regard in current debates about teaching and learning in higher inculcation but suggests

that this may vicissitude in the context of quality assurance mechanisms and

benchmarking. In teaching there are many methods which are being used. Some of them

are assignment method, discovery method, lecture method, discussion method,

programmed learning, project method, field trip, case study method, demonstration

method, modularized instruction. Modular teaching is a new approach in classroom

settings, for experience taking in encounters in instruction also it has been getting much

consideration.

The system of taking in modules has turned into a piece of all level of instructions.

Teaching through module is a self - taking in bundle managing one particular topic/ unit.

It could be utilized within any setting helpful to the learner and may be finished at the

learner's own particular pace. Sufficient hypotheses further more practices are accessible

for the useful requisition of secluded educating in our classrooms. Consequently a study

was directed so as to check the adequacy of modular teaching. Got information was
investigated, analyzed and results were drawn. It’s clear that many university students with a

certain level of interactive technology embraced, but at the same time continually demanding

more to fulfill their diversified needs of learning.

Knight (2002) points out that material on design work for edifiers orchestrating

Programmes in higher inculcation are insubstantial. He suggests that there is a

desideratum for advice on programme design and argues for texts to be developed to target

concrete learning skills. The focus is the design of modules which form part of Programmes in

higher inculcation. This study was focused to find out the effectiveness of modular approach

in teaching in order to assess the student learning, performance and achievement.

Roisin Donnelly and Marian Fitzmaurice (2005) for academic staff, there are

incremented pressures through incremented edifying loads, growing reporting and

administrative requisites and pressure to develop and reinforce their research profile.

McInnis (2000) they still wish to amend and innovate their practice by designing and

distributing efficacious courses and modules. The incremented size and diversity of the

student group has impacted on the process of course design.

Biggs(1999) offers worthwhile suggestions for course design strategies in the

context of a growing student population and Knight (2002) argues for courses in higher

inculcation to be designed in order to maximize the chance that learners will experience

coherence and progression.

 Barnett et al(2004) argued that the curriculum receives scant regard in current

debates about edifying and learning in higher inculcation but suggest that this may

transmutation in the context of quality assurance mechanisms.

According to Knight (2002) material on design work for edifiers orchestrating

Programmes in higher edification is insubstantial. Use of self learning modules in teaching is

another form of individual used instructions.

analysis of data.

Purpose of the Study

The study aim to know the feedback of BSHM students of CapSU Sigma in modular

learning. This study utilized the survey research design. According to Faltado III et. al. (2016),
survey designs are procedures in quantitative research in which researchers administer a survey

questionnaire to a small group of people or sample to identify trends in attitudes, opinions,

behaviors or characteristics of a large group of people or population.

Methods

Participants

The participants of this investigation were the 50 selected BSHM students who were

enrolled in Capiz State University Sigma Satellite College of the academic year 2021-2022,

selected through purposive sampling. The respondents were randomly picked from the list of

BSHM students of CapSU Sigma using the lottery method.
