Abstract
The COVID-19 Pandemic brought a major change in the Philippine educational system and resulted to the shift of learning modality from in-person learning to distance learning. Ensuring the continuity of education, modular distance learning was implemented in the Philippines. This study explored the lived experiences of the senior high school students in Laguindingan National High School during the school year 2021-2022 under modular learning in English subject. Its primary purpose was to find out the difficulties encountered by the students and their ways of coping with these difficulties. These experiences were identified through a qualitative approach by conducting an online survey involving 60 participants who were selected through random sampling; 30 students from 11 HUMSS A and 30 students from 12 HUMSS A. Thematic analysis was used in coding and analyzing the data. The main difficulties that emerged in this study were students’ difficulty in understanding the lessons and activities; lack of discussion from teachers; insufficient time in answering the modules and poor connectivity. The study also revealed the coping strategies including time management; asking supervision from their teachers; relying on gadget and Internet and seeking family support. These difficulties inverted modular learning into a complex experience for students. Coping strategies involving time management, teacher supervision and family support addressed their difficulties in understanding the lessons and having insufficient time answering the activities. With this, it is encouraged that students and parents should have an open communication and come up with schedules to make sure that students can maintain balance between their studies and household responsibilities. Poor connectivity remained a problem which negated the effectiveness of relying on gadgets and internet. It is recommended that students should be given load assistance to assist them with their problem on poor connectivity. This may be done through an issuance of a loaded sim-card to the students. Additionally, teachers may also employ home visitation to scaffold students with difficulty catching up with the lessons. The result of the study may serve as a ground for the improvement of the existing guidelines and programs on the implementation of modular learning.
