ABSTRACT
Table of contents
I. Introduction
Rationale
Around March 2020, lessons were disrupted due to the Covid-19 outbreak.
This pandemic interrupted educaton at every level globally. Temporary school
closures allegedly resulted in significant learning loss. When educational institutions
were closed, learners, as well as teachers, miss the opportunity to socially interact
which is essential to learning and development. Despite this difficult circumtances,
the Department of Education was nevertheless able to conduct the classes online
and
modular distance learning.
Modular Distance Learning (MDL) features individualized instruction that
allows learners to use self-learning modules (SLMs) in print or digital
format/electronic copy, whichever is applicable to the learner. All the alternative
learning modalities offered by the Department of Education (DepEd), most students
prefer to use the ‘modular’ distance learning options reported Merlina
Hernand Malipot (2020). Dep Ed Secretary Briones emphasize that the basic
education learning continuity plan is the response of the Department of Education to
the challenges brought by corona virus outbreak (Montemayor, 2020). In Modular
Distance Learning, the teacher takes responsibility for monitoring the progress of the
learners . It is important to assess if students' learning outcomes are equivalent to or
superior to those of traditional classroom-based instruction.
According to Mark Antony Llego (2020), learners that participate in
modular distance learning do it at their own pace, in their own fashion, and utilizing
SLMs (self-learning modules). It is possible for it to be a printed, digital, or electronic

copy suitable for students, as well as other educational resources including textbooks
and activities sheets, study aids, and other educational resources. Distance learning's
effectiveness and success are reliant on the study materials, Jayaram and Dorababu
(2020) . Therefore, DepEd centered on using self-study modules as the primary
teaching resource for all students, which can be integrated with other available
learning delivery methods for pupils.
Despite its accessibility and low cost, Modular distance learning affects
students in both positive and negative ways. MDL improves family ties, self-directed
learning, and is economical. However, for many people, remote learning still isn't the
greatest option because learning lacks socialization with other children, there is an
additional responsibility for working parents, and there is lack of considerable
student-teacher interaction and exposure to activities in school, but are instead
exposed to a variety of distractions at home.
Therefore, this research aims to explore and analyze the impact of modular
learning on Grade 10 students at City Central High School, examining various factors
such as academic performance, student engagement, access to learning resources, and
the overall educational experience. One important factor to take into account is the
academic performance of Grade 10 students under the modular learning system.
The findings will inform educators, administrators, and policymakers about the
effectiveness of modular learning as an alternative educational approach. By
encouraging instructional innovation and improvement in the educational
environment of the school, the research ultimately aims to improve the educational
experiences and outcomes of Grade 10 students.

THE PROBLEM
Statement of the Problem
The goal of this study is to find out how the modular learning

1. What are the problems encountered by students in modular learning?
2. What are the advantages and disadvantages of modular learning?
3.How does offline modality affect to every students?
