 This study aimed to find out the lived-experiences of the respondents in modular

learning. This study will be focused on determining the lived-experience and outcome of

the modular learning amidst this pandemic to the learners, who have been the target of

the researchers to come up with good plans and actions in interpreting the provided

data in conducting this qualitative and quantitative mode of analysis. The researchers

have gathered information about the respondent’s demographic profile with their

permission and granted the researchers to answer the following; The respondents’ level

of learning motivation. The lived-experience of the respondents in modular learning.

The significant relation between the modular learners’ level of motivation and their

profile and the intervention plan or analysis that can be proposed to address the

problems of the modular learners. The study adopted a descriptive design, with a mix

of qualitative and quantitative modes of data analysis in determining the lived-

experiences encountered by modular learning students. The researchers chose the

Grade 12 students of Humanities and Social Science as their respondents, currently

enrolled at Benigno V. Aldana National High School. This study found out that the

respondents prefer obtaining information about an interesting subject by reading about

it and comprehend what they read or watch. Majority of the respondents enjoy reading

some interesting lesson rather than memorizing and writing. The respondents prefer

reading and watching examples of the lessons while answering their modules.
