Abstract:

As educational system was hit by a global catastrophe, the introduction of modular distance learning outspread to sustain the quality of education towards the learners. To make this work, parents forced to embrace the new system of learning. With this, the parents were having a hard time on scheduling between their work and children’s learning, and on facilitating the learning from home scheme. This study dug into the parents’ involvement and attitude towards the modular distance learning system. The data were evaluated by interpretation and the method used in gathering data is qualitative. Content analysis allows researchers identify and analyze the correct words, topics, or concepts. The researchers conducted interviews to six parents from Badian, Cebu. The parents’ involvement in this study were determined by purposive sampling technique. From the responses of the parents, the researchers developed three essential themes: (1) The Challenges, (2) The Time, (3) The Rating, (4) The Improvement, and (5) The Advantages and Disadvantages. These themes emphasized the lived experiences and battles of the parents in the distance learning system during the pandemic. The researchers were able to extract problems and meaning of consequences for parents’ lived experience of MDL. Parents’ talent in shaping their children’s learning is not an easy job, rather it was found to be difficult. But additional colors were added to help shape it and made the children’s future more worthwhile.
