What is Distance Learning?

This refers to a learning delivery modality where learning takes place between the teacher
and the learners who are geographically remote from each other during instruction.

What is Modular Distance Learning?


Learning is in the form of individualized instruction that allows learners to use self-learning
modules (SLMs) in print or digital format/electronic copy, whichever is applicable in the
context of the learner and other learning resources like Learner’s Materials, textbooks,
activity sheets, study guides and other study materials.

What is Online Distance Learning?


It features the teacher facilitating learning and engaging learners’ active participation using
various technologies accessed through the internet while they are geographically remote
from each other during instruction.

What is Home Schooling?


It is an alternative delivery mode (ADM) that aims to provide learners with equal access to
quality basic education through a home-based environment to be facilitated by qualified
parents, guardians or tutors who have undergone relevant training.

What is Blended Learning?


This refers to a learning modality that allows for a combination of face to face and online
distance learning (ODL), face-to-face and modular distance learning (MDL), face-to-face and
TV/Radio-based Instruction (RBI), and face-to-face learning and a combination with two or
more types of distance learning.

What is Traditional Face-to-Face Learning?


This refers to a learning delivery modality where the students and the teacher are both
physically present in the classroom, and there are opportunities for active engagement,
immediate feedback, and socio-emotional development of learners.

What is Alternative Delivery Modes (ADM)?


Alternative Delivery Modes (ADM) are tried and tested alternative modalities of education
delivery within the confines of the formal system that allow schools to deliver quality
education to marginalized students and those at risk of dropping out in order to help them
overcome personal, social and economic constraints in their schooling.

In developing the BE-LCP, the Department analyzed data on basic education as well as the
epidemiological picture for the incoming school year, to make informed decisions. It is in this light that
DepEd has set the opening of SY 2020-2021 on August 24, 2020, allowing enough time to undertake the
necessary preparations for the extraordinarily challenging school year. The key elements of the learning
strategies that shall operationalize the BE-LCP are the streamlining of the K to 12 Curriculum into the
Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELCs), and allowing of multiple learning delivery modalities
such as distance learning and blended learning, either on top or in place of face-to-face learning. To help
learners, parents, and teachers implement these learning delivery modalities, Self-Learning Modules
(SLMs) shall be made available in print and offline/online digital formats, for use this incoming school
year. DepEd shall also tap the materials developed by various partners and entities such as Southeast
Asian Ministers of Education Organization Center for Innovation and Technology (SEAMEO-INNOTECH),
BASA Pilipinas, Knowledge Channel, Frontlearners Inc., and the Commission on Higher Education (CHED),
among many others. The learning outcomes in the form of knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values will
be assessed through a portfolio/e-portfolio to include written works and performances (and products),
whether hardcopy, softcopy or a combination of these, and through summative tests as conditions
allow. The administration of national examinations shall continue amidst COVID-19. To prepare our
teachers and school leaders for multiple learning delivery modalities, they shall be capacitated to
implement the learning delivery system, consistent with DepEd’s professional development framework
and professional standards, and the transformation of the National Educators Academy of the
Philippines (NEAP). They will be introduced to learning delivery modalities that they can readily utilize
depending on community context and be provided with tools and mechanisms to inform their decision-
making. To ensure the seamless transition of learning activities into formats appropriate to platforms
and learning delivery modalities they will adopt, capacity building will be implemented beginning in June
until July 2020. Support mechanisms shall also be established to provide teachers and school leaders
access to ondemand technical and administrative advice and guidance.

With a learner-oriented framework, the reforms articulated in the BE-LCP are aligned with the four
pillars of Sulong Edukalidad: K to 12 curriculum review and update; improving the learning environment;
teachers’ upskilling and reskilling; and engagement of stakeholders for support and collaboration. These
pillars shall be implemented with emphasis on INNOVATION, AGILITY, and SYNERGY. Sulong Edukalidad,
BE-LCP, and the futures of the Philippine education are united by our goals for and with every learner:
agency and self-actualization, work readiness, and responsible citizenship. Thus, it is important that the
BE-LCP shall be guided by life-long, life-wide, life-deep, and life-wise learning principles.
