ASSESSMENT TASK
Write your observations on the following learning modality used in Basic Education in the
conduct of classes in the New Normal Education.
In the implementation of the various learning delivery modalities, the challenge will be in dealing
with learners under any of the modes of distance learning or blended learning who are not capable of
learning independently, or who are not periodically supported by their parents or guardians. Also critical for
the implementation will be the mass production of the needed teachers and learners’ learning materials, as
well as the support of media institutions like TV and radio stations.
Verily, the learning environment amidst the COVID-19 pandemic will be very different. Yet, the
DepEd and/or School Organizations is optimistic that despite the various socio-economic situations of
families which affect the provision of learning support in the home, and the peculiar needs of different
learners, the Basic Education Learning Continuity Plan (BE-LCP), School Organizations also the
Government could be the key in providing quality basic education which is accessible and responsive in the
new normal.
Hence, the BE-LCP, School Organizations and Government aims to ensure the health, safety, and
well-being of the learners, teachers, and personnel in the time of COVID-19, while finding ways for
education to continue amidst the crisis. In particular, the BE-LCP, School Organizations and Government
has been designed with a legal framework responsive to the “new normal,” keeping in mind the
constitutional mandate to uphold the right of all citizens to quality education at all times . With regards of
this, as we all experience various learning modalities, we are capable to list down our different observation
and experience about Different Learning Modalities.
