“The Effects of Modular Distance Learning on the Academic

Performance of Mabuhay NHS Students S.Y. 2020-2021”

3
 Introduction
• The existence of COVID-19 pandemic brought extraordinary
challenges to the stakeholders, teachers, parents, and
students. Thus, the researchers believed that there is an
effect of teaching – learning process in new normal education
to student’s performance most especially using modular type
of learning (Aksan, et. al. 2021). Modular Learning provides
flexibility for accesing learning content for enlightening
learning accomplishment (Olasina, 2018).

 Introduction
◎ Modular Learning equips students with the choice to learn at their
personalized place, pace and using convenient learning approach.
Students in less industrialized nations do not realize the actual potential
of using flexible pedagogical academic tools through modular –
learning (Gordon, 2014). The influence of modular learning on
student’s productivity is likely to increase when flexibility intervenes as
mediator (Wen, Brayshaw, et. al, 2012).

5
 Introduction

• Academic performance plays a vital role due to; this is the outcome of
student’s effort in examinations. Students academic performance is
determined by a number of factors (Eze et. al, 2016). Students using the
modular learning approach significantly increased the academic
performance of the students. It also exhibited that from the different
learning areas such as Mathematics, Science and English rational
improvements in the academic performance of the students who used the
modular learning approach (Betlen, et. al. 2012).

6
 Introduction

 In this context, as per DepEd Secretary Leonor Briones amidst

of the COVID-19 crisis, the education must continue with health
risks that the pandemic is imposing to teachers, the department
of education provided guidelines and policies regarding various
modalities and approaches in teaching to provide quality
education to learners amidst pandemic.

7
 Introduction

• This insures the health safety and wellbeing of the learners and
teachers (Agarin, et. al. 2012). Since the conduct of face-to-
face classes is prohibited, the DepEd announced that the
adoption of various learning delivery options such as but not
limited to blended learning, distance learning and home
schooling and other modes of delivery shall be implemented
depending on the local COVID risk severity classification and
compliance with minimum health standards (Briones, L., 2020).

8
 Introduction
◎ In line with above discussion, the key purpose of this
research is to find out the effects of modular distance learning
on academic performance of Mabuhay NHS Students S.Y.
2020-2021. Also, this study aims to ascertain the methods,
interventions or solutions of every educational institution as
well as the government in helping students, parents and
teachers who are having difficulty in this new learning
modalities amidst pandemic (Epra, et. al. 2021).

10
 Introduction
◎ Findings from this study may also add to a body of
knowledge to the existing modular distance learning and
academic performances within the educational system and act
as a framework for developing teaching learning preparation
in curriculum. Furthermore, this study addressed to the locale
setting particularly in Mabuhay National High School, hence,
this study is limited.

 LITERATURE REVIEW

◎ The Education as defined by (Simonson et. al. 2011), remote

or distance learning refers to institution-based, formal
learning, where the learner and instructor are physically
separated, and where interactive telecommunications system
are used to confectioners, resources and instructors many
universities and colleges worldwide suspended classroom
teaching due to the novel coronavirus pandemic and
switched to modular distance learning and online teaching.

12
 LITERATURE REVIEW

◎ Due to the suspension of classroom teaching in many

colleges and universities, as switch to the online teaching for
undergraduate and graduate students becomes effective
(Closure, P., 2020). As mentioned by (Keegan., 2013), some
early levels of distance education like correspondence study,
home study, independent study, and distance teaching were
indicative of the types of activity going on in the early years.

13
 LITERATURE REVIEW

◎ The Georgia State University School of Public Health, like

all other institutions of higher learning, had to create
distance-learning opportunities to enable students to
complete the 2019-2020 academic year (Mensah, et. al.,
2020). The modular approach was used extremely as an
alternative traditional education 60’s in the English-speaking
countries of Europe and the United States (Bashmakova,
2014).

14
 LITERATURE REVIEW

◎ The Philippines is currently in the process of adopting to the

new normal form of education, and educators’ continuous
innovations, as well as the active participation of other
stakeholders, are the driving forces behind its success
(Dangle, Y.R., Sumaoang, J.D. 2020) Modular distance
learning, or real modules delivered to students houses,
accounts for 80%, while online distance learning accounts
for 20%. The use of multimedia resources account for 20%
of the total, but the only issue is the strength of internet
connectivity in rural areas. (Philippine News Agency, 2020).

15
 Synthesis

◎ The readings aforementioned here has been presented to this study’s

variables. Discussions concentrate the relevance of their study,
which help explains the outcomes of this research. Effects of
modular distance learning on academic performance are a means by
which the educational system enhance since academic performance
of students are not affected on the new pedagogical method of today.
As a result, students should maintain and adapt new ways of
learning. Moreover, academic performance occurs when students are
ready to adjust and adapt new ways of learning. To sum up, this
study implies the effects of modular distance learning on academic
performance of students in a new pedagogical method in teaching-
learning process.
