1) Students experienced difficulties understanding parts of mathematics modules and keeping up with study routines without teacher guidance. 2) Parents struggled to help their children with lessons due to lack of knowledge, and students were easily distracted at home. 3) Suggested interventions included providing video lessons, reducing assignments, supplying students with devices, and giving teachers time to monitor students. 4) Teachers provided lesson links, communicated regularly with students, and gave supplemental materials, but direct teaching was still needed.

3. THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
• The present COVID-19 pandemic has brought extraordinarychallenges and has
affected theeducational sectors, and no one knows when it will end.Every country
is presentlyimplementingplans andprocedures onhow to containthe virus,and
the infectionsare stillcontinuallyrising.
• In the educational context, to sustain and provide quality education despite
lockdown and community quarantine, the new normal should be taken into
consideration in the planning and implementation of the “new normal educational
policy”. (Tria, 2020)
• SecretaryLeonor Brionessaid that the departmentof educationwas layingthe
groundworkfora differentkindof learningusing technology includingradio,
television,online classes and modular learning.(Reuters., 2020).

4. • Unfortunately,not all households in the Philippineshave televisions,computers,
andinternetaccess. That is why they mostlypreferred Modular Distance Learning.
• Different school divisions have started conducting webinars on module making and
validation on principals and teachers as a part of their work from home
accomplishment and attendance. These modules were reproduced and given to
students when classes started.
• Students are not used tothe modular approach oflearning.They may experience
problems and difficultiesinanswering theirmodule due todifferentcircumstances.
• In this study, the researcher identified the problems met, experiences, and
interventions done through the modular approach of learning mathematics.
THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

5. STATEMENT OF THEPROBLEM
This study aimed to identifythe problemsmet and experiencesof students through
the modular approach oflearning.Specifically,it willseek answers to thefollowing
questions:
1.What are the problems met by students and parents toward learning mathematics
through a modular approach?
2.What are the experiences of students toward learning mathematics through a
modular approach?
3.What are the interventions done/suggested by the student and parents on the
problems experienced toward learning mathematics through a modular approach?
4.What are the interventions done by teachers on the problems experienced toward
learning mathematics through a modular approach?

andparents toward learningmathematics
through amodular approach?
• “The student experienced difficulty in
answering some parts of the module
(Nahirapan ang mag-aaral na intindihin ang
ilang bahagi ng modyul)” ranked the highest
problem met when it comes to module.
• “Some of the pages of modules are
incomplete (kulang ang pahina ng modyul)”
ranked the lowest problem met when it
comes to module.

the student’s attention (e.g. Computer games,
TV, socialmedia, etc. (May mga gawaing

the highestproblemmet
• “There is no space at home that can be designated
as a study area. (Walang espasyo sa tahanan na
maaring italaga bilang study area.)” ranked the
lowest problem met

10. RESULTANDDISCUSSION
2. What are the experiences ofstudents and parents
toward learningmathematics through amodular
approach?
• Students were not able to followthe study
routine andwere not able to answer the module
in the time allotted.
• They disagree that they are experiencing difficulty
and stress in answering the module.
• Students agree that they are using other
supplementary materials aside from the modules.

11. RESULT ANDDISCUSSION
Other experiencesfrom the parents
• "Marami akong natutunan sa pag tuturo k0 sa mga
bata."
• "Stressed talaga kasi may grade 2 and 3 halos sabay
sabay sila lalo na kung may deadline "
• "Bilang magulang talagang nhirapan ako lalo na sa
pagpapaliwanag sa aking anak kaya madalas ibinibigay
ko nlng ung sagot at hnd ko naituturo ng aayos ang
lesson"

12. RESULTANDDISCUSSION
3. What are the interventionsdone/suggestedby the studentsand parents on the problems
experiencedtoward learning mathematics through a modular approach?
These were the suggested interventions given by the students and parents.
SUGGESTED
“Dapat ang guro ang check at saka dapat bawat module mayroon video teaching. O naka record”
“Bawat module sana ay may video sa pagpapaliwanag ng bawat module”
“Sana bawas bawasan Ng unti ang nga gawain tulad Ng output…
“Sana mag provide si mayor ng gadget para sa mga hirap mag online class or ibigay na lang yung
buong taon na allowance ng mga students para makabili ng gadget…”
“Bigyan pa sana ng time ang hindi pa tapos sa pagsagot sa mga modules”
“Face to face kqgaya ng ibang bansa Ang hirap Kasi ng module ehh”
“Ang masasabi ko lamang ay kung dadalian nila at lilinawan ang print sa module ay mas maayos ang
ginagawa ng mga bata”

13. RESULTANDDISCUSSION
3. What are the interventionsdone/suggestedby the studentsand parents on the problems
experiencedtoward learning mathematics through a modular approach?
INTERVENTION DONE
“Tinuruan ko sya mgsearch sa google”
“With the help of Google Apps.I can teach my child. But I may suggest that Math teachers should
have at least to teach students via online per section”
“Panonood sa youtube”

14. RESULT ANDDISCUSSION
4. What are the interventionsdoneby teacherson theproblems experienced toward learning
mathematics through a modular approach?
These were the interventions done by the teachers based on the statement of students and parents
“Nagbibigay ng links ang teacher pra s ibang module na hindi naibigay at pwde rin sila itxt kung ndi
maintindihan ng bata anglesson…”
“Nakikipag ugnayan po ang aming guro sa lahat ng gustong malaman ng aming mag-aaral lalo na sa
mga mahihirap na mga gagawin”
“Lagi silang nag update sa mga bata”
“Nagbigay po ng books para meron pong Mabasa”
“Ginagabayan kmi sa pamamagitan ng gmeet”
“Nagbibigay po ang aming guro ng instuctions bago po gawin ang module kadalasan po naglesson po
online…”

15. CONCLUSIONS
• “The student experienced difficulty in answering
some parts of the module (Nahirapan ang mag-
aaral na intindihin ang ilang bahagi ng modyul)”
ranked as the highest problem met by the
students. Students were having difficulty in
learning mathematics if the teachers were not
directly teaching them.
• “Some of the pages of modules are incomplete
(kulang ang pahina ng modyul)” ranked the lowest
problem met by the students.
• "Students are able to think of ways on how they will
lessen the difficulty they are experiencing in
answering the module by searching on the
internet.

16. RECOMMENDATIONS
• Action Plan should be created based on the following
findings and conclusions.
• Students should be given ample time to answer the module.
• Make sure that the answer provided were correct and the
pages are complete before printing.
• Constant monitoring of the teachers should be done
especially to those students who cannot answer the module.
• Lessen activities and outputs on the module so that students
will not be overwhelmed by its content.
• Modules should be supplemented by textbooks so students
without access to the internet could use them as references.
