The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted education systems globally, including in the Philippines. Schools shifted to distance learning methods like printed self-learning modules (SLMs) distributed to students, but this has posed challenges. Students have struggled with learning content like mathematics through SLMs alone at home. Parents have also faced difficulties motivating their children and helping them understand modules while managing distractions. Educators have explored different strategies and formats like blended learning to make distance education more effective and inclusive during the pandemic.

The unexpected COVID-19 pandemic has
closed schools and shifted the mode of education to digital and distance learning methods. However, the socioeconomic status of students affects their access to education. Blended learning, which includes online classes, television and radio broadcasts, and modular lessons, offers a more inclusive education that caters to the needs of the students. While the subject has been discussed in the literature from the perspective of the learners, this paper explores the perceptions, experiences, and insights of teachers in the Philippines on blended learning at the time of the pandemic.

COVID-19 pandemic has closed-
down educational institutions and dramatically shifts the instruction to distance learning. However, students rooted from the marginalized families and from rural areas have limited access to technology necessary for online learning. Modular learning addresses this learning inequality by providing more inclusive access to education. (Casper Boongaling Agaton, Lavinia Javier Cueto, 2021) https://eric.ed.gov/?id=EJ1313094 Relevance Educational researchers reported that the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic have impacted school leaders, teachers, and students during the crisis. In a study conducted by Hefferman and Longmuir (The Educator, 2020), they reported that school leaders now understand that they are important key figures in the community (Kalipa, C. &Lumapenet, H. (2021). In the Philippines, the school principals are the forefront of pandemic learning (Guiamalon, T., Alon, SA., &Camsa, S. (2021). The emerging problems in the education sector brought about by the coronavirus pandemic is being cope by the schools through the collaboration within and outside of schools (Philstar, 2020). The COVID-19 pandemic worsened the challenges faced by the Department of Education as reported by the Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism (PCIJ, 2021). (Mohamad S Katog, 2022) Purpose Flexible Learning System (FLS) was created in response to the call of the Commission on Higher Education (CHED, 2020) to implement flexible learning, and one of the approaches implemented was the Modular Learning Modality. The implementation of the FL in various educational institutions poses many challenges, particularly on courses that involve various physical activities such as Physical Education (PE) which is best learned through faceto-face encounters. Applying the modular approach in PE is something new, particularly in the JRMSU context. Moreover, considering the concept of continuous improvement, it is important to explore the issues and concerns inherent to its implementation to enable us to see the new realities and look unto this aspect and be able to formulate mechanisms to address them appropriately.

The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic has
altered educational systems globally, particularly in the Philippines. The Department of Education utilizes printed self-learning modules (SLMs) to facilitate modular distance learning (MDL). This abrupt shift resulted in students' difficulty learning amid crisis, especially in mathematics. This situation is alarming as it is becoming rampant in public schools wherein several students have difficulty.

To cope with these challenges, the parents decided to set a schedule, give leisure time, ask for help from more knowledgeable other, and search on the internet to accomplish the modules. In conclusion, the parents' motivational strategies in modular learning are the giving of rewards, punishment, and words of encouragement. However, despite these strategies, the children are still forced to answer their modules.
