INTRODUCTION
teachers within the school has also been suspended. The Philippines is in the process of adapting to
the new normal form of education at present, and continuous innovations of educators and active
involvement of other stakeholders are the driving force for its success. For the continuity of
education and for every school to still attain its mission and vision which is to provide quality
education to every Filipino learner, the Department of Education implemented the Modular
Distance Learning.
Distance Learning 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. This
modality has three types: Modular Distance Learning (MDL), Online Distance Learning (ODL),
and TV/Radio-Based Instruction. (Quinones, 2020)
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.
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.
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).
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
