ABSTRACT

This study primarily aimed to determine the effectiveness of printed modular distance modality to the performance of the selected Grade 9 students in Science. 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 Quasi Experimental method of research to determine the aforementioned variables. The test of difference between the scores in the pre-test and post-test of selected Grade 9 students before and after the implementation of Printed Distance Modular Learning Modality in teaching Science subject. Based on the findings the study on the test scores of the pupils being tested there are no impact brought about by the new modular approach applied in the delivery of the most essential learning competencies having the computed p value of 3.36 higher than the level of significance of 0.05 since the computed p values is greater than the value on the level of significance on the data being treated the hypothesis which stated that there is no significant difference between the pre-test and post-test performance in Science of selected Grade 9 students before and after the implementation of the printed Modular Distance Learning Modality is rejected. The results implied that implementation of the printed Modular Distance Learning Modality in the delivery of the most essential learning competencies in quarter 2 in Science subject is not really a big help in improving the academic performance of the selected Grade 9 students because of the fact that there was a decrease in the pretest compared to the posttest result before and after giving the summative test questionnaire to the students thus, it does not really promotes to increase the motivation, participation and completion of the learning modules to be answered by the students, it does not really ignites students’ desire to learn the type of learning strategy in acquiring knowledge and skills particularly in Science subject specially during this time of pandemic.
