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.
