II. Context and Rationale
The Corona Virus (COVID-19) disease pandemic remains an issue and brings
excessive devastation affecting the people’s livelihood not just in terms of the economy,
security but also the education in most parts of the world, most especially the less-
including 3,507,477 deaths and affecting 220 countries and territories around the world The
crisis makes a big impact in all sectors of the world economy regardless of nationality and
level of education, To prevent the virus from spreading, governments around the world have
temporarily closed educational institutions for the welfare and safety of the students as well
as to the teachers. The data stated by United Nations International Children's Emergency
Fund (UNICEF) (2021), Schools with more than 168 million children globally have been

available. According to the Department of Health (2021), Philippines have 1.22 million
confirmed covid -19 cases and 20,722 deaths. Despite the calls from other sectors for an
academic freeze in the effect of the Coronavirus outbreak, the Department of Education
insisted that education should not be threatened. Education for all (EFA) and no child left
and private schools, the Department of Education issued a memorandum (no. 18 s. 2020) as
a way to continue the learning process during COVID -19 pandemic through online and
modular-based modalities. This learning modality takes place between the teacher and the
learners who are geographically remote from each other during instruction. Online class

through the use of technologies like cellphone and computer accessed through internet. The
learners require to have good and stable internet connection since they are required to
submit assignments, outputs, exams online and attend virtual classes Modular-based

desired competencies. Teachers will monitor the progress of the learners, through text,
messenger, phone call, home visitation if needed, following the heath and standard
protocols. Teachers are finding it difficult to cope with this pandemic but they need to adapt
to the new normal ways of educating the students. As much as these initiatives appear to be
helpful for the learners, it’s such a way for the busy parents taking huge responsibilities in
taking part of their children’s learning development at times like this. This situation poses a

researchers attempted to discover if the performance of the students if they change by the
help of their chosen modalities. This study search to compare modular and online teaching
on three levels—pure modality, gender, and class rank. The researchers also would like to
compare and investigate whether or not one teaching modality is significantly more effective

IV. Methodology
This comparative study that belongs to the quantitative research begins with the
accurate and precise data gathering from the respondents. The purpose of the
current study was to determine whether or not one of those two modalities, the online
or modular class will produce different (and possibly better) results in terms of
student perceptions of the overall learning experience and student satisfaction. The
two main goals of this study were (1) to compare the effectiveness of online, and
modular instruction, and (2) to examine the role of interactions in the effectiveness of
