INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study

COVID-19 pandemic; the schools were shutting down and no face-to-face interaction between teachers
and students. To address these extraordinary challenges, the schools in the Philippines shifted traditional
face-to-face way of teaching to distance learning approach. This is a learning delivery mode where
interaction takes place between the teachers and students which they are geographically remote
from each other during instruction and the lesson proper delivers outdoors the traditional face-to-
face platform viewed of Bonz Magsambol (2020).According to John Elflein (2021), Coronaviruses
were a group of viruses that can be transmitted between animals and people, causing illnesses that
may range from the common cold to more severe respiratory syndromes. Here are the top ten (10)
most affected countries in the world: USA, India, Brazil, Russia, UK, France, Spain, Italy, Turkey, and
Germany. Merlina Hernando-Malipot (2020) reported that of all the alternative learning modalities
offered by the Department of Education (DepEd) most students prefer to use the ‘modular’ distance
learning options. She added that based on the partial results of the Learner Enrollment and Survey Forms
(LESFs) distributed during the enrollment period, it showed 7.2 million enrollees prefer to use modular
distance learning, TV & Radio based instruction and other modalities while only 2 million enrollees
prefer online for school year 2020-2021. (Anthony, 2020) Modular distance learning is a learning form
of individualized Instruction allows learners to utilize self-learning modules it's either in printed or
digital format/electronic copy, learners access the copies of learning materials on a computer, tablet
PC or Smartphone, CD'S, USB storage, computer-based including offline E-Books, with this learners
may ask assistance from the teacher via E-mail, telephone, text message/instant messaging, messenger,
etc.
Despite of this COVID-19 pandemic the Mindanao State University-Sulu, particularly in Senior High
School Department opened the school year 2020-2021 using modular distance learning approach that was
to adapt well in a new normal classroom or environment, and anew development in teaching-learning
process. The modular approach placed students to learn in the comfort of their homes, limited contact to
the teachers and their parents or guardians take place as their learners’ model.
This study will research the effective platform for the learning delivery modality in Grade 12- HUMSS
students of Taft National High School. The study will also measure the advantages and disadvantages of
modular learning through the effect of modules for the Grade 12- HUMSS students of Taft National High
School.
