Learners’ Interests, Attitudes, and Compliance to Modular Distance Learning During Pandemic

Abstract

Students and teachers no longer engage in face-to-face instruction; instead, they follow the Basic Education Learning Continuity Plan (BE – LCP). The majority of schools have adopted the Modular Distance Learning modality, which allows students to study at their own pace. Thus, this study looks into the compliance, interests, and attitudes of 100 Senior High students who participated in modular remote learning. A survey and deductive topic analysis were used as research tools. In order to gather information about their study habits, interest, attitudes, and compliance with the learning modules, they were requested to complete an original survey questionnaire. The study's conclusions demonstrated that the modules' lessons' comprehension, complexity, and presentation all work to maintain respondents' attention. The learners' environment and parental support allow them to keep a positive outlook throughout the process. The students complied with requirements, completing assignments with less oversight and even forgoing sleep when necessary to do some assignments right away. The findings showed that rather than whining, students always tried their hardest to complete their assignments. This required them to adapt to a completely different style of learning. Every student is a unique individual with unique skills and interests, and our goal is to support each learner's independence and ability to think for themselves. This keeps parents informed about their children's endeavors and can offer resources, support, and encouragement. The government may help students by stepping up and virtualizing already-existing programs, as well as by enlisting the help of other organizations to organize joint activities that will enhance the current mode. This study is crucial because it will act as a foundation for future enhancements to the current curricula at the schools and policies on the use of modular distant learning.
