Coping Strategies of Senior High School Students
in the Modular Distance Learning
INTRODUCTION
COVID-19 has severely affected students everywhere in the world. Due to the fear of
infection, government and local authorities immediately closed academic institutions and
tried to find alternative methods to cope with the turbulence. Therefore, the government
introduced modular learning as new normal learning system which caused positive and
negative reactions from the learners.

INTRODUCTION
This study focused only on the Grade 11 Accountancy and Business Management –
Boulton batch 2021 – 2022 of Narvacan National Central High School, of Narvacan, Ilocos
Sur. Given the evident negative effects of the pandemic, there is a need for evidence on
coping strategies employed by the students and which amongst these had the best effects.
The qualitative research aims to provide such evidence in order to help students who have
yet to settle their struggles overcome their anxieties with the best and most effective coping
strategies during modular learning.

RESEARCH DESIGN
The group’s goal is to gain a thorough and unbiased understanding of the phenomena.
Thus, the researchers will employ the phenomenological method. With this method,
researchers will be able to determine the overall influence of the different kinds of coping
strategies on the students, as well as the effective results to their behaviours. The group
concentrated on subjective perception which requires meticulous interpretation of variables.
The relevance of the study will provide positive benefits, therefore, thorough understanding
from the beneficiaries is to be expected.
