Abstract:

The study aimed to get an in-depth understanding on school heads’ perspectives on modular distance learning in Philippine public and private basic education schools. The objective of this study is how School Heads address Modular Distance Learning through curricular and assessment priorities, flexible learning options, family Empowerment for home-based learning, resilience and innovation, learning environment redesign, and new knowledge creation. The researchers used descriptive design to describe the perspectives of school heads in modular distance learning. The study shows that most public and private school heads perceived modular distance learning as helpful and beneficial to teachers and students. It aided and linked teachers and students in disseminating the lessons. With modular distance learning, students were given enough time frame to finish their modules aside from doing their house chores. Module content can readily be assessed and credit-given. Hence, recognition of prior learning and credit transfer is facilitated.
