IV. INTRODUCTION OF THE RESEARCH
education have been a major subject in the press and media in recent months, because
the majority of people oppose the start of school this year, they place a higher value
on the health of the learners and instructors than on knowledge and skills that will be
learned in the classroom in this time of pandemic. President Rodrigo Duterte is one of
the people who are against having face to face classes this school year. In that event,
the Department of Education would think of an alternative solution for the children.
disease, the Department of Education proposed to use modular modality and other
learning modalities for distance learning as the school year continues. In distance
learning approach, parents would have to play an active role in the learning process.
They would be the one to facilitate and guide their children through the modular
connection with their children and to guide them. Parents or guardians should be
responsible for interacting with teachers and barangays official to obtain the various
materials and resources required by the learner: checking the class schedule on a
regular basis: providing a conducive learning study space for the learner: and giving

interdependent themes that pervade the dynamics of Filipino parenting and parent-

obedience on the part of children, family cohesion, and meeting familial obligations.

school and the parents to improve the learning capabilities of the students and their
academic achievement. With their parents involved in their education, children tend to
focus more in schoolwork. This primarily motivates them to strive more and not give
