ABSTRACT
This research was created/made to know the stories or experiences of students

and teachers who are enduring the current education system during the pandemic. Online
classes and Modular Classes are seriously needed during this pandemic, DepEd
(Department of Education) have suggested to do Online and Modular Classes since there
is a virus spreading throughout the country, it is advised to avoid doing Face to Face
classes and do Online and Modular classes instead. The difference between online
classes and modular is very different, Online Classes consist of using technologies like
Phones, Computers, and Laptops to do Face to Face classes, while Modular learning
consist of self-study with Modules and Books given by the school. This research was
made because the researchers wanted to show that over 24 million Filipino Students are
going back to school despite the pandemic, and many students and parents have pointed
out that they are financially unstable to buy new or needed supplies and technologies to
continue this school year, especially for the students who doesn’t have access in the
internet and who doesn’t have the right technology for the school year, which is why they
resided with modular learning. This research will reveal the result in what the researchers
discovered during this research. The researcher used an exploratory research type and
the respondents are Senior High School students in San Mateo, Rizal who takes Online
Classes and Modular Learning, and is conducted within the academic year 2020-2021.
The researchers will find the answer that concerns the field of the study to validate and
to assess the instrument to make sure that it would provide a valid and reliable results for
the study. To interpret the following data, the researchers used frequencies and
percentage.
Keywords: Students, Teachers, Online Classes, Modular Learning.

CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study
In reality, not all the students have their own gadgets or have an access on device
to be used for virtual learning. There are teachers who lack training in technology. These
act as a challenge for the Philippines when the online classes begin. But according to
Department of Education (DepEd), parents don't need to buy gadgets for their children in
the conduct of classes this year because schools will be providing printed modules for
them. On the other hand, reproduction of the learning modules is financially and
environmentally costly. (Sec. Leonor Briones)
There are over 24 million Filipino students are back to school during this pandemic.
Students and parents pointed out that they lack financial budget because of the effect of
the months of being locked down to afford to buy needed tools to be used for the new
normal educational system. Students without gadgets or the use of internet connection
could have printed modules instead by their teachers.
The researchers conducted this study to know the demand or acquisition of the
most preferred options for distance learning− Self-Learning Modules (SLMs) and Online
Distance Learning. This research will gather numerical data given by the answer of the
students regarding to which they prefer for their learning in this academic year.

Statement of the Problem
This research seeks to find evidences of the application of “A Comparative Study

between the Acquisition in Modular Distance Learning – Printed Vs Online Distance
Learning for A.Y 2020-2021”. Clearly, it seeks to find answers to the following questions:
1. Are you enrolled for Academic Year 2020-2021?
2. What type of learning material does your school offer?
3. Are you financially stable to purchase tools needed for this Academic
Year?
Hypotheses
H1. This study has tested alternative hypothesis that there is a significant difference
between the demand in printed modules and taking up online classes to the status and
preference of the students, financial matters and the availability of resources.
H0. This study has tested null hypothesis that there is no significant difference
between the demand in printed modules and taking up online classes to the status and
preference of the students, financial matters and the availability of resources.

Scope and Delimitation
This study is conducted to identify the demand in printed modules and taking online
classes of senior high school students in San Mateo Rizal. This study limits its coverage
on the senior high school students only with a total of 50 respondents. This is conducted
within the academic year 2020-2021 and it considers the demands of the students in Self-
Learning Modules (SLMs) and Online Distance Learning.
Significance of the Study
This study will be beneficial to various groups on its successful completion. Such
groups include in the following:
Students. This study will be very useful in knowing the availability of learning
system they could acquire given for the academic year. This is because this study shows
the demanded learning options for the distance learning.
Parents. This will help them to acknowledge best option they could decide on
which learning system their children should acquire based on their capability especially
their financial capability.
9
Teachers. Teachers are the main facilitator in the distribution of the modules and
in facilitating synchronous and asynchronous classes online. This will help them to be
considerate knowing the bad situation of the country that unfortunately affected the
educational system.
Government. This study will help them to overlook the acquisition of learning
materials needed of every student for the academic year. This will oversee how costly
these demands will cause.
Future Researchers. The data presented may be used as a reference data in
conducting new researches about the demands for printed modules and taking online
classes in time of pandemic.

variable is the status of the students while the dependent variable is the demand in printed
modules. Learning Material implemented by schools serves as the moderator variable
which alter the effect that an independent variable has on a dependent variable which
means the more schools that implement printed modules the higher the demand on the
printed modules as a learning material. While, enrollment of the student during this

pandemic serves as mediator variable that links the independent and dependent variable
and explains how independent variable affects the dependent variable which means that
the status of the students may affect the enrollment of students for the academic year
and eventually change in demand for the printed modules as their learning material.

Review of Related Literature and Studies
Topic 1. Perception of Students on Modular and Digital learning
Based from the study of Carrie Platt, NW Amber and Nan Yu on 2014, students
did not see online classes as equivalent to face-to-face class. According to the
participants, there are fewer opportunities and they gained less knowledge in online class.
This study also investigated the student's perception between the online class and face-
to-face class in terms of some aspects. It was based from their perception of general
equivalent, flexibility, level of interaction, knowledge gained and ease of each class. And
the results of this study are from the students in public universities in the Midwestern
United States and had a total of 289 participants. This study has very broad topic because
it needs the perception of the participants in terms of five aspects to find its results. On
the other hand, the study was too timely because it has a lot of participants involved and
it was time consuming. And also, this study only focused on the perception of the students
between online class and face-to-face class in some aspects. By the help of the study,
researchers will now know the difference between online learning and face-to-face
17
learning that can help them to understand more their research. It also helps the
researchers to have more knowledge and information because the results of the study
were broad.
According to Jolene Skordis-Worrall, Neha Batura, Hassan Haghparast-Bidgoli
and Jane Hughes, the main positive attribute of online learning was the flexibility of the
approach, both in terms of time and geographic location. As online learning generally
does not require a one to be in class at a certain time, one can work from home at
convenient times. This flexibility was also linked with a positive perception of self-reliance.
It also focuses on the student’s perceptions of online learning before their exposure to the
course and on how the design of an online learning experience can overcome negative
perceptions and meet or exceed positive expectations and absence of a student’s
detailed testimony about his or her experience is one of the factors that affect the journal
article which has an impact on the study. The journal article provides new information
about school-related difficulties experienced by students who are engaged in an online
learning and supported by a Research Associate in Health Economics that is why we can
say that the data given is correct. This article is relevant to the researcher’s study because
it talks about the opinion of the students regarding online learning which is connected to
our topic which also talks about the perception of students towards online or modular
leaning in San Mateo, Rizal.
Conforming to Bassou El Mansour and Davison Mapinga, students said that the
ability to work both face-to-face and online schedules did not permit for the hybrid courses
and also the physical presence of the instructor to provide additional input, explanations,
etc. The students also said that the rigid schedules for the face-to-face sessions and
18
technical problems with the computers and internet services were cited. These results
were from the twelve students enrolled in a hybrid course and 41 students in an online
course were interviewed for this qualitative study. The study focused on the students and
instructor’s experiences of online classes that gives more information, knowledge and
provides an phenomenology research methodology. This study helps the researchers to
established knowledge that can help them to learn more about students who find online
classes useful in with our current situation.
Topic 2. New Normal Education
According to Ethel Reyes-Chua, Brandon Sibbaluca, Rebecca Miranda, Georgina
Palmario, Ramil Moreno and John Paul Solon, professionals who have been teaching
various courses in the tertiary level had good experiences in introducing the E-learning
classroom as an immediate response to the country's enhanced quarantine situation.
Although all the E-learning platforms used by the respondents are free of charge, still,
students have encountered problems like lack of resources, difficulty of Wi-Fi connection,
and lack of training among the students and faculty members. This study focuses more
on the implementation of e-learning classrooms in selected higher education institutions
in Region IV-A it provides surveys to find out the status of implementing e-learning
classrooms and how the higher education institutions in Region IV-A and finds possible
solution for implementing it. They also give recommendations to HEIs or Higher Education
Institutions that can help them improve their activities. On the other hand, this article does
not try to compare the difference between e-learning classroom set-up to an actual
classroom set-up for them to get a wide perspective. But still, this article is relevant to
researcher’s study because it tackles about the implementation of online learning set-up
19
which is connected to our study about the student demand of modular learning and online
learning.
As stated by Ruel F. Ancheta and Helen B. Ancheta, most countries all over the
world are focused on how to start the new academic year with the new normal of teaching
and learning without depriving the student’s right to quality education. The article aims to
examine and discuss the challenges faced by the private basic education institutions in
the Philippines as an effect of the Covid-19 pandemic. Public and private academic
institutions in the Philippines are instructed by DepEd to come up with a learning
continuity plan (LCP) for school year 2020 - 2021. LCP is a package of education
intervention in response to the challenges in basic education brought by Covid-19
pandemic. The author suggests a thorough study on the various facets of the online
learning involving the children of the private basic education institutions. And the sudden
shift to online learning created a hot debate in the Philippines citing the poor living
conditions of the learners. Magsambol (2020) cites an obvious gap between those who
can and cannot afford the resources to avail the new education platform.
Based to the study of Researchers Fernan Peniero Tupas and Marilyn Linas-
Laguda, blended learning started three decades ago, specifically for higher education
institutions (HEIs), also used in graduate programs and professional development. But in
2007, in the Philippines, the Center of Blended Learning started and had very positive
responses from the parents and students. Moreover, blended learning (BL) is adopted in
subjects like English explicitly in Language, Science, and Distance Learning. The
education sectors asked help from different government agencies and private individuals
and organizations to support the proposals. This study suggests tapping experts to
20
conduct studies blended learning to help the education system in the new normal. Each
school must document all the positive and negative experiences with blended learning.
DepEd also consolidates all the collected undertaking during a pandemic and creates a
framework to enhance blended learning. The conduct of professional development is
vital. In the country, DepEd proposed to use online learning, modular approach, radio-
television methods, face-to-face, and para-teachers for blended learning. But the lack of
facilities like gadgets or computer sets, and connectivity in the Philippines is a unique
challenge to DepEd.
Topic 3. Online and Modular Learning
According to Barbara M., Yukie T., Robert M., Marianne B., and Karla Jones. Due
to recent experimental and quasi-experimental studies contrasting blends of online and
face-to-face instruction with conventional face-to-face classes, blended instruction has
been more effective, providing a rationale for the effort required to design and implement
blended approaches. Even when used by itself, online learning appears to offer a modest
advantage over conventional classroom instruction. The current situation the demand to
is thru online and modular. The participants of study are estimated that more than a million
K– 12 students took online courses in school year 2007–08 and struggling for they think
that it’s hard but the strength of the online is you do it in your home so you can do it every
time before the due date. The weaknesses of online learning are that a lot of people
doesn´t have enough materials and is experiencing unstable internet connection. In
conclusion, the result is effect size is estimated for the final set of 51 contrast. In the 51
individual study effects, 11 were favoring in the online. And the rest contrast is favoring in
the face to face.
21
In stated by Maureen H., and Tracy N., The main reason why some students chose
to take an online class over than a traditional learning because of the
students who cannot attend traditional courses due to employment, marital status, family
responsibilities, distance and expenses incurred with traditional education. The
respondents answered a 22 question-survey and are consists of mainly adults, and part-
time students. This research is conducted to know why students prefer distant learning
than online learning. In conclusion, students strongly prefer distant learning largely
because it allows them to balance their commitments more easily. Respondents also
perceive that they achieve higher quality educational outcomes in the distant learning
environment. They do believe that they sacrifice a quality education for the convenience
of utilizing distance learning.
According to Nicholas M., Nyarai T., and Agnes C., It was found that learners
constructed their own knowledge by drawing on resources embedded in Moodle and
framed within a Social Constructivist theory. The Western Cape Education Department
piloted Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment (Moodle), an LMS for
improving teaching and learning. The objective of the research reported on here was to
determine whether Moodle improved learners’ conceptual understanding of the topic,
functions. The research investigated two classes; one dependent upon a traditional chalk-
and-talk teaching method (control), and another exposed to Moodle (experimental). It was
found that learners constructed their own knowledge by drawing on resources embedded
in Moodle and framed within a Social Constructivist theory. In conclusion, it showed that
the functionalities within the Moodle LMS were instrumental in improving conceptual
understanding.

CHAPTER III
METHODS
This chapter presents the method of research used, subject of the study,
instrumentation used and the data gathering procedure.
Research Design
In order to gather necessary information and data, the researchers applied a
comparative method since it involves data gathering to use to test the hypotheses and
other questions involved in the study by means of quantitative approaches in which
large number of respondents is the focus point. The researchers dealt with answers
of the respondents that shows the comparison on the demand in printed modules and
online classes for the said academic year.
The Subject of the Study
The researchers used non-probability sampling specifically availability sampling.
The study locale of the study is inside the area of San Mateo, Rizal. The researchers opt
to find eighty (80) public or private students that are enrolled for the said academic year
on the said location. As the researchers used social media, they are able to find the
participants that can contribute for this study.
23
Research Instruments
The researchers used researcher-made survey questionnaire to gather the
needed data for the respondent’s information in addition, the researchers used the open-
ended questions for quantifiable answers. The draft of the questionnaire was drawn out
based on the researcher’s readings. The survey questionnaire is consisting of three (3)
parts that are interconnected with the research problem and questions. The instrument
used was validated by the researcher’s Practical Research 2 teacher responsible of the
study before proceeding to apply in this study.
Data Gathering Procedure
The researchers used survey questionnaire as an instrument in order to gather
data needed in this study.
After being validated by the Research teacher, the survey was spread through
social medias targeting the needed respondents. Survey questionnaire was
introduced to the respondents politely. In using the survey, the respondents answered
the questions in the provided survey questionnaire. After the respondents answered
the questions that were given to them, the researchers were able to quantify the
responses needed in the study. The researchers analyzed and tabulated the gathered
data and used it in the procedure of making recommendation and conclusion about
the study.

CONCLUSION
In this era of pandemic, the researchers concluded based on the study conducted
that there are a significant number of enrolled students. Many of the students has an
adequate capacity to pay for their admission in terms of education they will enroll in their
chosen school. Students put education ahead even though the country is facing a serious
crisis.
As the findings show that there is a large percentage of response that students
prefer online classes than having printed modules as their learning material. Many
respondents stated that they have an access to on internet that can sustain their online
classes needs. Others stated that they can sustain their everyday allowance on the load
they need to join online classes. The researchers concluded that not all students are
privilege to study this time conveniently. Students who take online classes faces a lot of
challenges such as unstable connection, etc. On the other hand, students who prefer
printed modules also faces challenges not only financially but some students need to
work to sustain their education.
34
The researchers concluded that for the said academic year, there is a large
amount of financially secure students who can support their needs. As students respond
that for the year 2020-2021, they needed gadgets, prepaid load, internet access and
some school supplies for them to use in terms of schooling. The high number of
enrolled students for the 2020-2021 academic year satisfies this response of the
students.
RECCOMENDATION
School Year 2020-2021 is indeed hard for students who are experiencing it
today because of factors such as having bad internet connection and students who are
not fond of staying at home because of family problems. For the student, the researchers’
advices to treat this online course as a “real course”. Also, practice having time
management and refrain from doing unnecessary things while studying to avoid being
distracted. Having an online class is not a bad thing at all. Students learn to be
independent and they gain more knowledge in using educational applications and
Microsoft applications that are often used when they enter college.
For the parents, they should monitor their children and have time to check if their
children are having a hard time in coping up with the lessons. They should not require
their children that they should have high grades but instead, support them by at least
saying stuffs that could warm their heart and that could motivate them more.
35
For the teachers, they should be considerate since not all of their students are
taking it easy in having an online session. Also, teachers should be observant among
their students so that they can see the situation their students are having and the
problems their students are facing.
RQ2. Learning Material Used for the Academic Year 2020-2021
Having an online class is the choice students mostly prefer. They consider to
have someone who can help them while learning. Some also prefer printed modules for
factors such as having a bad internet connection and having no gadget to use.
For the students, they should at last find a way to learn whether it is by enrolling
through online classes or having printed modules as a material for them to use while
studying. It is indeed hard for everyone but if students really want to learn something this
school year, they should help themselves and not just lie down and think of why they
should not enroll because what they have in mind is because it is very difficult to deal
with.
For the teachers, whether it is an online class or modular, they should have time
to check on the situation of their students when they are experiencing hardships specially
when they are affected by the calamities.
For the parents, they should have a moral support so that their children will be
motivated in studying even though they think that it is difficult to pass because of the
challenges they are encountering.
36
A lot of students struggle to have enough materials thy can use for the online
classes. Some uses cellular phone only since they do not have enough budget to provide
laptop and such.
For the students, though it is difficult to study having incomplete materials, they
should also consider their parents and what they can only afford. They are not the only
ones who are struggling but also their guardian.
For the teachers, they should not be strict in terms of what their students should
use. Teachers should be considerate as they are known to be the guardian of the students
at school.
For the parents, they should at least provide something that their child needs in
having an online class. A cellular phone will do. If their children are really motivated to
study, parents should give them a chance to do so.
