Nathanie Flores | Evelyn Lopez

Discipline: Education

 

Abstract:

This study aimed to determine the students' feedback and challenges encountered on modular distance learning and its relationship to their academic performance in Science from the different schools of Alamada North Cotabato during the Covid-19 pandemic. The study used the descriptive-correlational research design. The respondents of the study were grade 8 students of Alamada. The data gathered from the survey questionnaire were analyzed using appropriate statistical tools. Based on the findings of the study, it is found that the respondents have positive feedback on the use of modular distance learning in terms of the module content, strategies, learning activities, and assessments; they Sometimes experienced challenges like a lack of internet connection to supplement their readings, too many household chores and difficulty in staying motivated on the use of Modular Distance Learning. There is no significant difference in the feedback in utilizing modular distance learning when categorized according to age, sex, and monthly income. There is no significant relationship between feedback and the academic performances of the respondents in terms of strategies, learning activities, and assessments. However, module content is significantly related to their academic performance.
