Using a phenomenological approach as a research design, the questions posed in the study
were answered. The instrument used was an interview guide.
Based on the gathered data from the research participants, it was found out that the
experiences of teachers in the implementation of modular distance learning during pandemic
challenging experiences, tiring experience and new learning experience.
Further, the challenges encountered of the elementary teachers in the implementation of
modular distance learning during pandemic were insufficient financial and material resources and
