THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING

Introduction

COVID-19 pandemic has highly affected our society because of its health risks

that may lead to danger. One of the affected sectors was education and it resulted to

the suspension of classes in order to avoid the spread of the virus. Despite of these

challenging situations, the Department of Education still managed to continue the

classes through online conduct setting. Education helps people think, show their

emotions, feel about things in a way that benefits to their success, and improves not

only their own personal contentment but also their society and community. Also,

education develops the individual’s personality, thoughts, that deals with other people

and prepares anybody for the purpose of the reality and life experiences (Al- Shuaibi,

2014).

Face-to-face learning usually where the instructor and the student meet in a set

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

class lessons comparable to what happens in school. Face to face learning could be a

truly compelling way to memorize information and abilities since it frequently combines

distinctive ways of learning to count writing, reading, discussion, presentations, projects,

group work, film clips, demonstration and practice (Jones, 2017).

Online learning is the most up to date and the most prevalent form of distance

education nowadays. In the past decade, it has a major effect on postsecondary

education and the trend is only increasing. Online learning is an instruction that takes

put over the Internet. It is frequently referred to as “e-learning” among other terms.
However, online learning is fair one sort of “distance learning” - the umbrella term for

any learning that takes put over distance and not in a traditional classroom (Stern,

2016).

Modules permit instructors to organize content to assist control the flow of the

course. Modules are utilized to organize course content by weeks, units, or a diverse

organizational structure. Modules basically make a one-directional direct flow of what

students ought to do in a course. Each module can contain records, discussions,

assignments, tests, and other learning materials. Module things can be included in the

course from existing content or modern content shells inside the modules. Course

content can be included in different modules or iterated several times throughout a

person module (Anthony, 2015).

This study will determine the level of effectiveness of modular learning as

perceived by the student in Baguio National High School as one of the flexible learning

modalities used by the institution during the pandemic. The study will also measure the

advantages and disadvantages of modular learning through the effect of printed

modules for the Grade 12 students of Baguio National High School. Different platforms

and the effectivity will be also finding based on the Grade 12 student’s academic

performance.
 THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
The purpose of this research is anchored on the following concepts
and theories regarding the effectiveness of modular instruction. From behaviorism to
information processing to constructivism, learning theories have undergo significant
transformations. Researchers were pushed to explain personal meaning as well as the
nature of reality and its reorientations after realizing how context and culture affect
memory and cognition (Doolittle & Camp, 1999). Therefore, social constructivism and
radical constructivism emerged with the following four guiding principles:
 Learning is an active process according to which learners construct their
own knowledge.
 Cognition is an adaptive process.
 Meaning making is a subjective process and does not render an accurate
representation of reality; and
 Social, cultural, language and biological/ neurological processes influence
knowing.
Because educators rarely embrace just one theory and instead take into account
what each has to offer, they typically take an eclectic approach to learning
theories. As a result, an educator my find Piaget’s theory of interactional,
Vygotsky’s theory of interactional learning and Ausubel’s idea of meaningful
learning to be all pertinent. Constructing knowledge depends on prior knowledge,
the internalization of data into a structured cognitive structure, according to both
cognitive science and cognitive psychology.

Figure 1. Conceptual Paradigm

The figure above depicts the conceptual paradigm of the study which aims to
determine the effectiveness of Modular Learning Modality of Grade 12 Senior High
School Students. Due to pandemic restriction's, the researchers will use survey-
questionnaires that will be virtually disseminated through Google Forms. Data will be
analyzed with the help of a statistician. The study will be conducted to determine the
important factors and opinions of the Grade 12 students of Baguio National High
School. Moreover, it will determine if the modular learning modality is effective or not. In
addition, the results of this study are affixed of the idea on the level of effectiveness of
modular learning modality to the students.
 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Face-to-face learning engagement of students and teachers 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 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 (Dangle and Sumaoang, 2020). Thus, this study will
give focus on he challenges faced by the new normal education through the
implementation of modular learning. Also, this study seeks to give answers to he
following statement of the problem:

Specific Question:
1. How stressful is modular in all Grade 12 tvl track during the
pandemic?
2. As Grade 12 student, How do you feel about distance learning?
3. How effective for student of BCNHS-SHS Grade 12 student the
modular learning?
4. How much time do you spend each day on an average on modular
learning?
5. How difficult (or easy) is it to stay focused on your modular
learning?
Hypothesis

H1 = There were significant advantages and disadvantages of using printed modules in

the learning of the Grade 12 students of Baguio National High School through their

demographic profile.

H2 = There were no significant advantages and disadvantages of using printed modules

in the learning of the Grade 12 students of Baguio National High School through their

demographic profile.

H3 = There were significant academic benefits of using modules in learning of Grade 12

students of Baguio National High School.

Scope and Delimitations of the Study

This research will be focusing on the effects, effectiveness advantages and

disadvantages of printed modular learning. The study will be limited only for the Grade

12 students of Baguio National High School only. The study is all about the student’s

preference on the type of learning they want in accordance to their capability and

interests, and also their benefits and struggles in a printed modular learning system.

The study will be conducted to determine the important factors and opinions of the

Grade 12 students of Baguio National High School.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

The study will be conducted due to the COVID-19 pandemic that primarily affects

the sector of education in the whole country.

Baguio National High School- this study shall provide more relevant results on the

academic benefits, effectiveness, advantages and disadvantages of printed modular

learning to the Grade 12 students of Baguio National High School that relates other high

school students in the country.

Senior High School Students- This study will benefit the senior high school students

and also the teachers and faculties of Baguio National High School because their

opinions will be heard for the improvement of the quality education provided by the

school.

Future Researchers- In addition, the results of this study will help the future

researchers on conducting similar study on the academic benefits, effectiveness,

advantages and disadvantages of printed modular learning to provide more focus to the

conditions of the students about the system of learning they most prefer.
