ABSTRACT

This study primarily aimed to determine the effectiveness of printed modular distance learning modality to the performance of the Grade 5 pupils in Filipino in the new normal. The findings of the study were the bases for a proposed Recommendation plan. The study utilized complete enumeration in identifying the respondents of the study. This study used the quasiexperimental method of research to determine the effectiveness of printed modular distance learning modality to the performance of the Grade 5 pupils in Filipino in the new normal. The results show the pretest and posttest performance in Filipino of the Grade 5 pupils in the new normal. The table presented through the presentation of Score through the computed p value as well as the level of significance equal to the 0.05. Based on the results in table 3, the pretest performance is lower than the posttest which are equal to 30.71 and 32.33 respectively resulted to a computed p value of 0.12 which is greater than the level of significance equal to 0.05. So, the hypothesis which states that there is no significant between the pretest and posttest performance of the grade 5 in Filipino in the new normal before and after the implementation of the printed modular distance learning modality is rejected. The results in table 3 regarding the test of difference of the pretest and posttest performance of the Grade 5 pupils in Filipino subject implied that though they are already exposed to the new way of acquiring knowledge and skills in learning Filipino subject still some of the Grade 5 students are belong to a fair level of performance which means that acquiring knowledge on the different competencies in Filipino integrating or following the procedures in the new normal is not really effective to increase their academic performance or no affection at all. In other words, if the students following their way of acquiring knowledge suing their own pace and integrating new strategy to learn things in the new normal does have no difference at all. One of the reasons for this result is that for the longer time the pupils wanted to learn new things they have eager to learn in the face to face from their teachers even they have the idea how to learn things by their own. Another reasons for the results is that they have limited access or guidance and the Self-learning modules they received. Even if they have internet access in their respective houses, they cannot still be able to learn vast area of learning on the different competencies in Filipino 5 during this new normal. Furthermore, even if the teacher created new strategy to deliver the different competencies still it does not guarantee to create positive impact to pupils’ performance because for some they wanted to have face to face delivery of the lessons and that the time they will be learning things to be done while implementing the printed modular distance learning modality from the second quarter. Another reason for the same results in the pretest and posttest performances of the grade 5 pupils is that students have gained normal support from their parents or guardian and they wanted a real teaching to happen not just coming from their parents supports because may be for them, it is really different if they learn things coming from their teachers. Lastly, for some of the reasons for these results maybe some of the parents still find difficulties in adopting the new normal of delivering competencies in Filipino with that, maybe they have less support that they can give to their child/ children due to busy in earning a living or they don’t have the capacity to give appropriate technical assistance to their child/children thus it resulted to a low level of performances.
