6. Impact of COVID-19 in Education
Closure of educational institutions
Cancellation/postponement of assessments
Lesser job opportunities for new graduates
Emergence of alternative way of teaching and
learning
9. ONLINE EDUCATION
Online distance learning is an educational process where
students receive instruction through online classes, video
recordings, video conferencing, or any other audio/visual technology
medium. It enables people to receive education without having to be
physically present in a classroom.
Properly designed distance learning programs can be a very
convenient and effective way to acquire more education. This may
seem difficult without students and teachers interacting in a
classroom, but people enrolled in distance learning programs can
learn just as much away from a classroom as in one.
17. MODULAR DISTANCE LEARNING
Modular Distance Learning features individualized instruction that allows
learners to use self-learning modules (SLMs) in print or digital format/electronic
copy, whichever is applicable to the learner. Learners under Modular Distance
Learning can also use other resources such as Learner’s Materials, textbooks,
activity sheets, study guides, and other study materials.
Usually, teachers will have to deliver appropriate learning materials.
However, students can also access these materials by downloading electronic
copies through their computer, tablet PC, or smartphone.
18. MODULAR DISTANCE LEARNING
The teacher takes the responsibility of monitoring the progress of the
learners. If possible, they will conduct home visits to check on each student’s
progress and performance.
Likewise, learners may ask for assistance from the teacher via email,
telephone, text message/instant messaging, etc. Parents or any member of the
family, on the other hand, may serve as a guide or para-teachers to learners at
home.
19. MODULAR DISTANCE LEARNING
Materials/gadgets students will need/use:
•Digital format
•Computer, Tablet, Smartphone, CD/DVD, USB
•Printed Module
•Textbook, Activity sheets, Study guide
20. MODULAR DISTANCE LEARNING
Modular learning is the most popular type of Distance Learning. In
the Philippines, this learning modality is currently used by all public
schools because according to a survey conducted by the Department of
Education (DepEd), learning through printed and digital modules emerged
as the most preferred distance learning method of parents with children
who are enrolled this academic year (Bernardo, J). This is also in
consideration of the learners in rural areas where internet is not accessible
for online learning.
21. MODULAR DISTANCE LEARNING
The teacher takes the responsibility of monitoring the progress of
the learners. The learners may ask assistance from the teacher via e-mail,
telephone, text message/instant messaging among others. Where
possible, the teacher shall do home visits to learners needing remediation
or assistance (Llego, n.d.). Printed Modules will be delivered to students,
parents or guardians by the teachers or through the Local Government
Officials.
22. MODULAR DISTANCE LEARNING
Since education is no longer held within the school, parents serve as
partners of teachers in education. Parents play a vital role as home
facilitators. Their primary role in modular learning is to establish a
connection and guide the child. (FlipScience, 2020).
23. MODULAR DISTANCE LEARNING
According to the Department of Education (DepEd), parents and guardians'
perform the various roles in Modular Learning such as Module-ator, Bundy-clock, and
as Home Innovator. As a Module-ator, they are the ones to get and submit the printed
Self-Learning Modules (SLMs) from and to schools or barangay halls at the beginning
and end of the week, depending on the agreement between the parents and the
school. As a Bundy-clock, they must check their child's schedule or workweek plan.
Because of the number of subjects or activities to be done, they must see that it is
being followed accordingly to avoid cramming or delays in submission, which may
affect the child's performance. Lastly, as a Home Innovator, they must provide their
child with a productive learning environment to help them focus more on Learning. It
must be a well-lighted and well-ventilated space in the house, with little or no
distraction.
24. MODULAR DISTANCE LEARNING
The use of modules encourages independent study. One of the benefits of
using modules for instruction is the acquisition of better self-study or learning skills
among students. Students engage themselves in learning the concepts presented in
the module. They develop a sense of responsibility in accomplishing the tasks provided
in the module. With little or no assistance from others, the learners progress on their
own. They are learning how to learn; they are empowered (Nardo, M.T.B, 2017). Other
advantages of modular instruction include more choice and self-pacing for students;
more variety and flexibility for teachers and staff; and increased adaptability of
instructional materials.
25. MODULAR DISTANCE LEARNING
The disadvantages include greater self-discipline and self-motivation required
for students, increased preparation time and lack of concrete rewards for teachers and
staff, and greater administrative resources needed to track students and operate
multiple modules.
26. TV AND RADIO-BASED TEACHING
•TV and radio-based teaching, wherein educational materials and
instructions will be broadcasted.
•For TV and radio-based teaching, the education department has
launched DepEd TV—a program that converts self-learning modules
into video lessons that can be accessed through IBC13 and Solar
Learning Outlets. It features “teacher-broadcasters” who underwent
training on how to effectively deliver lessons via pre-recorded videos.
27. TV AND RADIO-BASED TEACHING
Perhaps one thing that separates DepEdTV from other modes of
distance learning is that it mirrors the school curriculum using
broader, convincing, and engaging content. The team of teacher-
broadcasters also makes sure every episode can cater to the target
audience and beyond. Which is why, the episodes produced can be
used even after this school year ends.
Contrary to what many people believe, the different learning
modalities can actually be blended—it’s not online learning alone.
DepEd TV, for one, is here to supplement the modular approach and
online classes. Parents and students, especially those in the public
school, just need to understand how the system works.
30. BLENDED LEARNING
This refers to a learning delivery that combines face-to-face with any or a
mix of online distance learning, modular distance learning, and TV/Radio-based
Instruction. Blended learning will enable the schools to limit face-to-face
learning, ensure social distancing, and decrease the volume of people outside
the home at any given time.
Critical for implementation will be the production of the needed teacher’s
and learner’s learning materials (LR Portal and DepEd Commons will be
maximized), as well as the support of media institutions like TV and radio
stations.
33. HOME SCHOOLING
This is an Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) that aims to provide learners
with access to quality basic education through a home-based environment to be
facilitated by qualified parents, guardians or tutors who have undergone
relevant training. It allows families to educate according to their personal faith,
philosophy, and values, and to adjust learning schedules around family
schedules and circumstances. However, there remain several issues in its
implementation, including the supervision of licensed teachers and alignments
with the curriculum. Thus, this modality will be the subject of a later DepEd
issuance before its expansion.
