Abstract:
Due to the increase in COVID-19 cases, educational institutions have struggled to transition from
face-to-face instruction to distance learning which is the modular distance learning. With the said
transition, teachers were not prepared as to what will be their roles and how will the handle the said
modality This study will look at how teachers actually cope with the new normal of modular distant
learning. The study used qualitative research approach and employed phenomenology as research
design. Eight (8) individuals participated in this study, which focused on the real-life experiences of
the teachers of Inawasan Provincial Community High School. After data has been gathered, the
researchers generated 2 themes; the Struggles and Challenges of teachers in modular distance
learning, and the ineffectiveness of modular distance learning. These themes serve as clear examples
of how educators are thriving despite the challenges, they face during the modular distance learning.
This study recommends the teachers to partner modular distance learning with other learning
modality to make it more effective, develop localized module, and improve the quality of the
material used in making the modules.
