This study purposefully focused on the use of improved monitoring tool to enhance students learning in modular distance education. The researchers used quantitative methods to compare the level of student learning in the third quarter and fourth quarter using academic grades, such as descriptive statistics, and the paired t-test to determine the significant difference of the performances. The one hundred ninety-two (192) students were chosen using the purposive sampling technique. The results showed that the learners' scores after using the enhanced monitoring tool were higher than their scores prior to the program's implementation, with the learners the learners obtained an average grade of 86.31 (SD = 5.640) while in in the fourth quarter, learners obtained an average of 87.92 (SD = 5.619). The difference was found to be significant with a P-value of 0.0001, which is significant at p > 0.05. In this sense, the improvement in scores was tested significant, and there was enough evidence to claim that the enhanced monitoring tool had a significant influence on students' performance. The study was confined to evaluating the effectiveness of an improved monitoring tool of grade 12 students' learning through modular distance learning at Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo - Bailen Integrated School during the academic year 2021-2022. This study would help teachers better understand the importance of monitoring tools for students’ progress. It can be a good reference in school to monitor a modular distance learning environment, where students may not have the same opportunities for in-person interaction with their teachers.
