BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
INTRODUCTION
This research entitled “Difficulties encountered by the students in
modular learning during the school year 2020-2021”. Most countries around the
world have temporarily closed educational institutions to contain the spread of
the virus and reduce infections. Face to face engagement of students and
teachers within the school has also been suspended. The Philippines is in the
process of adapting to the new normal form of education at present, and
continuous innovations of educators and active involvement of other stakeholders
are the driving force for its success. For the continuity of education and for
every school to still attain its mission and vision which is to provide quality
education to every Filipino learner, the Department of Education implemented the
Modular Distance Learning. Distance Learning refers to a learning delivery
modality, where learning takes place between the teacher and the learners who
are geographically remote from each other during instruction. This modality has
three types: Modular Distance
Learning (MDL), Online Distance Learning (ODL), and TV/Radio-Based Instruction.
Modular learning is the most popular type of Distance Learning. In the
Philippines, this learning modality is currently used by all public schools because
2
Region V
according to a survey conducted by the Department of Education (DepEd),
learning through printed and digital modules emerged as the most preferred
distance learning method of parents with children who are enrolled this
academic year (Bernardo, J). This is also in consideration of the learners in rural
areas where internet is not accessible or online learning.
The teacher takes the responsibility of monitoring the progress of the learners.
The learners may ask assistance from the teacher via e-mail, telephone, text
message/instant messaging among others. Where possible, the teacher shall do
home visits to learners needing remediation or assistance. Printed Modules will
be delivered to students, parents or guardians by the teachers or through the
Local Government Officials. Since education is no longer held within the school,
parents serve as partners of teachers in education. Parents play a vital role as
home facilitators. Their primary role in modular learning is to establish a
connection and guide the child.
According to the Department of Education (DepEd), parents and
guardians perform the various roles in Modular Learning such as Module-actor,
Bundy-clock, and as Home Innovator. As a Module-actor, they are the ones to
get and submit the printed Self-Learning Modules (SLMs) from and to schools
or barangay halls at the beginning and end of the week, depending on the
3
Region V
agreement between the parents and the school. As a Bundy-clock, they must
check their child's schedule or workweek plan. Because of the number of
subjects or activities to be done, they must see that it is being followed
accordingly to avoid cramming or delays in submission, which may affect the
child's performance. Lastly, as a Home Innovator, they must provide their child
with a productive learning environment to help them focus more on earning. It
must be a well-lighted and well-ventilated space in the house, with little or no
distraction. The use of modules encourages independent study. One of the
benefits of using modules for instruction is the acquisition of better self-study or
learning skills among students. Students engage themselves in learning the
concepts presented in the module. They develop a sense of responsibility in
accomplishing the tasks provided in the module. With little or no assistance
from others, the learners progress on their own. They are learning how to
learn; they are empowered (Nardo, M.T.B, 2017).
Other advantages of modular instruction include more choice and self-
pacing for students; more variety and flexibility for teachers and staff; and
increased adaptability of instructional materials. The disadvantages include greater
self discipline and self-motivation required for students, increased preparation
time and lack of concrete rewards for teachers and staff, and greater
administrative resources needed to track students and operate multiple modules.

Region V
The study aims to present and interpret the difficulties encountered by
the students in modular learning. It is important to know what is more effective
and recommendations for students who are struggling in modular learning.
The researcher aims to provide encourage and motivate all students,
particularly those who are financially disadvantaged as a result of the pandemic,
to obtain and complete a college degree in order to be successful in the future
and achieve their goals. It can also provide information, learnings, and
experiences.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The purpose of the study is to determine the difficulties encountered by
the students in modular learning during the school year 2020-2021.
1. What is the essential concern of the students in modular learning?
2. What is the disadvantages of modular learning to the students in Baao?
5
Region V
3. What are some effective ways on how to cope with the difficulties
encountered of the students in modular learning?
SCOPE AND DELIMITATION
The study focused on determining the student “difficulties encountered by
the students in modular learning during the school year 2020-2021” The
respondents of this study are the students of the Baao. The study will be
conducted at Baao National High School Extension Campus, San Vicente, Baao,
Camarines Sur for the Student School Year 2020-2021. The span of this study is
from October-July 2020. The resources will focused only to the opinion of the
students about the encounters about the modular learning.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
This study will be great help to the following:
STUDENTS. This study will serve as a way to give their complaints about the
modular learning,
6
Region V
PARENTS. This study can benefit the parents to give them information on
what, why, and how their child will handle the new learning system and what
they can do to help their child adapt to the new learning system.
TEACHERS. This study will give teachers information on the different
performances and conditions of some student’s today’s especially with internet
access and those who work at the same time as learning.
SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS. It will guide them to know that other students

are trained to work at the same time so they are not able to submit on time.
FUTURE RESEARCHER. This study will be beneficial for them for investigation.
It can be basis if they are working on to this research study.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
To provide the researchers with comprehensive background, insights and
valuable information on the research problems of this study, a through review
of literature which has relevance to the present study was undertaken.
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
Face to face learning engagement of students and teachers within the
school has been suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This pandemic has
paved the way to the implementation of Modular Distance Learning as an
urgent response to ensure continuity of education. (Ysthr Rave Pe Dangle &
Johnine Danganan Sumaoang, 2020). Education is one of the relevant industries
caught in the middle of this pandemic, and the Philippines has millions affected
learners all over the country. Incidentally, it is necessary to safeguard the
9
Region V
education sector through strategies that guarantee the continuous flow of
learning to integrate online with offline approaches. (Edith A. Lindog, 2021).
One of the changes is the operation of learning system or the way how a
students can learn. The students entered the alternative learning system
including asynchronous and synchronous learning strategies. The expansive
nature of the internet and the accessibility of technology have generated a
surge in the demand for web-based teaching and learning, (Jianzent, Nessa
Jojiemar & Marisol, March 2021). The Philippine education system is now
adapting to the new blended learning as a public schools were set to resume
its classes nationwide on October 5, 2020. Despite the calls for an academic
freeze due to the corona virus outbreak, the Department of Education still
believes that education should not be compromised. (Ms. Mean-Chin, October 11
2020), “Education cannot wait,” says DepEd Secretary Leonor Briones. To the
education of millions of Filipino students. The government implemented a
distance learning approach. Distance Learning, also known as correspondence
education or home study, is a form of education where there is little or no
face-no-face interaction between students and their instructors. This type of
modality has Three categories. In which, one of the highly convenient for most
of the typical Filipino students is the Modular Distance Learning. It was also
