Introduction to the Study
During 2020, the pandemic came and brought changes in many perspectives
of our lives including our education and academic life. While the COVID-19 pandemic
sent educational institutions scrambling to move classes online, many forget that
there are other modes for distance learning. Online learning system is not the only
type of distance learning system. However, the most popular mode of distance
learning under consideration is modular learning system. To make sure that learning
remains unhampered, DepEd implemented a distance learning approach, a learning
delivery mode where interaction takes place between the teacher and the students
who are geographically remote from each other during instruction. This means
lessons will be delivered outside the traditional face-to-face setup. The modules
include sections on motivation and assessment that serve as a complete guide of
both teachers’ and students’ desired competencies. Teachers will monitor the
learners’ progress through home visits (following social distancing protocols) and
feedback mechanisms, and guide those who need special attention.
Modules are increasingly being used in many countries as a way of
organising a language curriculum. As a consequence, many course books are now
structured on the basis of “modules” rather than “units”. The concept of “module”
is strictly linked to the idea of a flexible language curriculum.Taneja (1989)
defined module as a unit of work in a course of instruction that is virtually self-
contained and a method of teaching that is based on the concept ofbuilding up
skills and knowledge in discrete.
A module is a set of learning opportunities organized around a well -
defined topic which contains the elements of ordinate dictation, categorical
objectives, edifying cognition activities, and evaluation utilizing criterion -
referenced measures UNESCO (1988) A module covers either a single element of
subject matter content or a group of content elements composing a discrete unit of
subject matter or area of adeptness. A module has placidly defined, objectives;
preferably in behavioural form (Daries, 1981).
Varieties of teaching methods that will fixate on cumulating methods
that can best realize the creative and constructive engagement with learning
activitiess that leads to understanding Ramsden (1992). Even very good designed
modules, with very well defined learning outcomes, can fail if the edification
strategies employed are infelicitous to inspirit and support the learners towards
meeting the desired learning outcomes.
Overall, this study has substantial effects to impart on the people’s
existing knowledge especially the Humanities and Social Sciences Students of our
country about effectiveness of modular learning system mong grade 12 HUMSS
students.
