Abstract
This study aimed to determine the perceptions on remote learning of the Muslim parents of school
children in Alamada, Cotabato, Philippines. This study used convenience sampling to come up with
50 Muslim parents who were made respondents of the study. Majority of respondents are female
Muslim parents, 30 years old and above, high school graduates, and some are college level. This
study made use of a researcher-made questionnaire to gather the information on the perception of
Muslim parents towards remote learning. Results reveal that the respondents perceived that they
have the capacity to balance or manage their time as parents and mentors of their children in remote
learning. When it comes to answering their children's modules, the fact that majority of them are
college level or high school graduates means some parents know how to answer the module. Finally,
the study found out that despite the challenges they faced towards this remote learning, it helped them
build strong relationship with their children. Despite the negative issues concerning remote learning
and student learning, this learning modality has given Muslim parents and their children a lot of
opportunities. Parents were able to observe and focus on their children’s learning progress.
