Abstract:
This research identified the level of participation of the Indigenous People (IP) learners in modular
instruction and developed an Indigenous People (IP) student-centered policy intervention to address
modular distance learning hindrances among the Grade IV–VI learners of Buenavista. Quantitative
method through descriptive survey was used which entailed the development, validation, and
facilitation of the researcher-made instruments to gather valid data. Samples were identified through
purposive sampling technique to select the 50 Indigenous People (IP) learners. Data were gathered
personally by the researcher through the developed questionnaires while observing the standard
protocols of safety procedures with communication to Local Inter Agency Task Force (IATF) and the
rural health office of the municipality. All the data were analyzed statistically by the researcher using
frequency counts, percentage, mean, ANOVA, and t-test. Findings showed that Indigenous People
(IP) learners – respondents have aged 11 years old, females, and in Grade VI. The Indigenous People
(IP) learners aged 8, 9, and 11 were very satisfactory participating to modular instruction along with
both female and male groups. The Grade IV learners and Grade VI Indigenous People (IP) learners
were also very satisfactory in modular instruction. At 0.05 level of significance, the there is no
significant difference on the participation rate of Indigenous People (IP) learners when grouped
into age and sex but there is a significant difference when grouped according to grade level. No
representation of the Indigenous People (IPs) in the modules, demand for learning devices, and
helping parents to earn money sometimes hindered in the participation of the IPS in modular
instruction. Parental Actions in Reoriented Education Norms with Teachers and Students
(PARENTS) was proposed and recommended for implementation to increase the participation rate of
the IP students in Modular Instruction.
