Discipline: Education
Abstract:
This study aimed to determine the perceptions of the Mathematics teachers and Grade 6 pupils on the
modular distance learning modality and the academic performance of Grade 6 in Bagong Nayon I
Elementary School SY. 2021-2022 which could serve as basis for developing an intervention
program. The descriptive method of research with the survey questionnaire was used. The
respondents consisted of 252 pupils and 30 teachers. It was found out that the teacher and the Grade 6
pupils’ perceptions on the modular distance learning modality is evident by the grand weighted mean
of 3.57 and 3.60 respectively, both are verbally interpreted as strongly agree. Likewise, there was no
significant difference in the perceptions of the two groups of respondents. Moreso, the level of
academic performance of Grade 6 pupils in Mathematics was satisfactory with the weighted mean of
83.50. Furthermore, there was no significant relationship between the perception of the Grade 6
pupils and the level of academic performance in Mathematics on the Modular Distance Learning
Modality.An intervention program was proposed based on the results of the study.
