INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study;

In 2019, a pandemic spread out in the whole world that caused deaths to millions of people and
force every countries to lockdown and that leave no choice to the students to undergo Modular
Distance Learning (MDL) in order to continue their studies.
A Modular Distance Learning (MDL) is a distance learning that is in the form of
individualized instruction where the learners will use Self Learning Modules in print or digital
format/ electronic copy which is applicable in the context of the learner and other learning
resources.
The use of modules encourage the independent study, One of the benefits of using modules
for instruction is the acquisition of better self study or learning skills among students, in order to
improve their task in the reason of no guidance/assistance by guardians or the teachers, it can

The aim of this study is to help the students improve their Academic Performance, because
when the Modular Distance Learning started, lot of the student’s Academic Performance
dropped and it’s hard for them to improve and understand the specific to them. When we conduct
this study it can benefit lot of students who struggle to answer their modules and those parents
who can be at ease and knows to do in order for their child to understand their modules and for
the teachers to assure that their students actually learn something from their topics.

students in terms of:
a. Behavior
