Discipline: Mathematics

 

Abstract:

Modular learning has been implemented by the Department of Education as one of the learning delivery modalities for the school year 2020-2021 as the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic which has brought phenomenal challenges. The DepEd introduced Modular Distant Learning in order to achieve its vision, purpose, and aim of providing quality education to Filipino learners. Self-Learning Modules (SLM’s) are then provided by the DepEd particularly in rural areas wherein online learning is not possible due to lack of internet connectivity. This type of learning modality has certain advantages and disadvantages for the students specifically in mathematics subject. According to Kuhfeld, & et al. (2020), pupils in mathematics were expected to have significant fewer learning improvements from the previous year. The main purpose of the study is to identify factors that affect students’ mathematics performance of the Grade 8 Junior High School students of Bangwalog High School in modular learning as the new normal education system in the Philippines. Also, this aims to determine the factor that contributes on students’ mathematics performance. The data were generated through the distribution of researcher-modified questionnaires to the students, and were analysed and interpreted. The results of this study can serve as a catalyst for the enhancement and betterment of learning mathematics as well as the students’ mathematics performance.
