INTRODUCTION
Distance learning will be a major components of learning delivery for the
incoming school year. The physical opening of schools will depend on the risk severity
grading or classification of a locality, pursuant to guidelines of the Department of Health
or Inter-Agency Task Force on Emerging Infectious Diseases. The schools under the
supervision of the Regional and Division Officers, are authorized to decide on the
specific delivery modalities, (Faraday,2008).
“One must know how to adjust to the changes and that despite the many uncertainties,
teacher and parents must turn them into opportunities that will help in continue
achieving the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goal 4, which is “quality
education” even amidst the pandemic” (Socular,2019)
In America, modules are increasingly being used in many countries as a way of
organizing a curriculum. As a consequence, many course books are now structured on
the basis of “modules” rather than “units”, and most teachers, when faced with this
innovation, wonder whether this is reality a new development, opening up new paths for
learning and teaching, or whether it might not just be old wine in new bottles (Jordan,
2005).
One of the challenges in education today is managing the capacity to produce
learning that meets all of the learning needs. The struggle to create a wide variety of
effective learning materials that cater to a broad range of needs for different
departments, roles, and competencies can be a daunting and extremely costly
endeavor in this trying times (Okeke,2014).
As a matter of fact, citing results from the Learner Enrollment and Survey Forms
(LESF) gathered nationwide, DepEd said that 8.8 million parents preferred modular for
their children both in public and private schools, Modular modality refers to both printed
and digital or offline learning materials. Most parents are not certified educators. Even
those who are educators, know that there are struggles when teaching their own kids
specially if they have children with different grade level with different needs of learning
assistance brought by modular learning. This modality puts pressure on the parents,
especially in the case of an asynchronous learning environment (Department of
Education,2020).
Individualized instruction in modular distance learning is useful in remote areas
with limited internet access such as mountains. Learner use self-learning modules in
print or digital format. They may need home visits by teachers for learner’s remediation
or assistance. If it is workable, students could reach their teacher via email, telephone.
text message or instant messaging. Mothers with kids from kindergarten to grade 6
worry that they might spend less time in their vegetable farms. To add, parents in this
level cannot help their children on the activities in the modules for they too have no
capacity in dealing such because of their educational background (International Institute
for Educational Planning, 2020).
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
What are the experiences parents with multiple learners in modular distance learning?
Do the learners build up a good quality of education?
PURPOSE OF THE STUDY

The purpose of this research is to find out the effectiveness and performance of the
students in an implementations of modular distance learning in the public school.
SIGNIFICANCE OF STUDY
This study aims to assess the students new normal on what student’s effects of modular
distance learning in public school. It will give meaningful for the betterment of our
education. The result on this study will bring awareness among every individual
particularly in public school students that they would be responsible with every positive
or negative thoughts they might done. This includes the probability of getting the answer
on what student’s effect modular ways of study. Thus, within an individual life the
capabilities.
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

In the current time of COVID- 19, certain protocols are being made to prevent the
widespread of the virus. Distance – Learning is the only choice implemented for all
learners in the academic year. Through the use of modules given by their teacher,
pupils adapt to the new normal of learning. Modular learning is at home. From the
traditional face-to-face classes to modular learning, pupils are tasked to learn lessons
from the module hands-out being given. In learning the subjects of English, is it enough
for the pupils to learn from the learning materials without the interaction of Teacher?
Does it affect the pupils’ performance in reading and comprehension, language
grammar, and vocabulary? How well are their test scores and grades for this subject?
According to Chomsky's Innateness theory, it states the fact that children
everywhere acquire language the same way, and without much effort, seems to indicate
that we're born wired with the basics already present in our brains. But do all pupils
learn the same way? In the contrast to the work of Chomsky, there is also the
Interactionist theory which believes that biological and social factors have to interact in
order for children to learn the language. Either of these two theories tells about how
children learn.
It is the purpose of this study to know and determine the effectiveness of modular
distance learning in English. Gone are the days of traditional classrooms and face-to-
face. The pandemic changes the way we live, all of us are affected; one of it is our
education system. Some are struggling with distance or modular learning and some are
fortunate enough to provide the needs during the pandemic Covid-19. Everyone who is
affected has their own ways and strategy for surviving in this time of the pandemic,
since the school term started parents, guardians and teachers are working hard to
provide students need in terms of school supplies and equipment for modular and
online learning, every one of us is adjusting from the New Normal System.
The idea of "module" is carefully connected to the possibility of an adaptable
language curriculum (Taneja,1989) It is characterized module as a unit of work in a
course of guidance that is basically independent and a strategy for training that depends
on the idea of developing aptitudes and information in discrete. A module is a bunch of
learning openings coordinated around a well - characterized point which contains the
components of ordinate transcription, downright targets, illuminating perception
exercises, and assessment using standard - referred to measures UNESCO (1988)
( (Taneja,1989)
Since public teachers cannot accommodate every learner and visit them house
to house to teach, the DepEd advised the parents to be familiarized with distance
learning. Parents also need to be taught how to handle distance or modular learning for
their children’s. Parents are educated especially in public schools and in rural areas.
According to Ellson Quismorio, 2020 on his article in Manila Bulletin, since
parents will be the one to introduce the module to their kids, parents should also be
taught about the distance learning method, He hoped that DepEd also considered
teaching the parents so they are aware of their roles under the new system. DepEd
bore these past weeks that distance learning “will involve several learning methods,
most notably online classes where students and teacher can still have two-way
communication”. The department is also studying the use of broadcast television and
radio as a means of instruction. The lawyer-solon recognized that there were many
unique challenges under the new method. For examples, parents would have to split
their time between their jobs and their children’s schooling, he said. He noted that it’s
crucial for parents to also be guided on how they can properly monitor their children’s
progress, DepEd also urged parents to teach their children life skills that would
supplement their formal education. There are many problems have arisen as to how
students who do not have stable internet connectivity will have access to education
amidst this pandemic. Educators, parents, and students have different views on this
issue, but the Department of Education proposed different modalities of learning. One of
which is modular distance learning. This mode of learning is a response to the call for
education among students who prefer the traditional way of learning. Teachers hand
over the printed modules to the parents or guardians of students once a week. These
contain different activities, discussions, and performance tasks which the students need
to accomplish on their own
There are advantages and disadvantages of the new normal system implemented by
the Department of Education. Here are some advantages of modular distance learning.
1. Flexible students can set their own schedule in finishing the tasks in the module.
2.Student-centered. Students have their own way of learning that would work for them.
Since the accomplishment of tasks is self-paced, students learn to have a sense of
responsibility.
3.Accessibility. Resources within the locality are available not always in the form of
online resources, but the help from the community. In this way, they become inquisitive
and creative in looking for answers to their questions prior to the activities.
4.Simplified. The contents of the module are easier to grasps than those in the books.
Key points are included as supplements to the books as reference.
5.Cost-Parents and guardians can save a lot of transportation and accommodation. The
only expense is in the printing of modules which are shouldered by schools.
Although his point of view is fair and accurate, we can’t deny that there are also
disadvantages and issues or effects on modular learning. (Jim 2020)
Finally, this benefit other researchers is knowing other details and information in
the context of the new normal set up in using the untold stories of the parents with
multiples learners. Addition to the students in dealing more modules in every subject in
modular distance learning in order to achieves more knowledge. This gives
recommendations to them in designing further studies that are in line with the topic
being identified by the researcher.
Definition of terms:
Multiple learners –
It refer to the number of children in one household who are enrolled in different
grade level with parents who will serve as para-teachers in the modular distance
learning.
Modular Distance Learning
In this study, it refers to the individualized instruction that learners to use self-
learning modules(SLMs) in print or digital format/electronic copy, whichever is
applicable in the context of the learner, and other learning resources like Learning
Materials, textbooks, activity sheets, study guides and other study materials.
