 ABSTRACT

This research aimed to determine the relationship between learning satisfaction

and academic performance in modular learning of pupils at Dapitan City Central School,

Dapitan City. This study utilized the descriptive correlational method using standardized

questionnaire.

The study examined the perceptions, learning satisfaction, and academic

performance of pupils in grades 4-6 who used a modular distance learning approach

during the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings revealed that the majority of the

respondents were between 9-10 years old, female, and had an outstanding academic

performance. The study found no significant relationship between learning satisfaction

and academic performance. Based on the findings, recommendations were made for

educators to consider the age and grade level distribution of students, address potential

gender-related issues in the classroom, and explore ways to enhance and sustain the

modular distance learning approach. Future studies could investigate additional factors

that may influence learning satisfaction and academic performance.
