Abstract

The study examines the mastery, achievement and learning experiences of the grade 12 on
understanding and nature of variables and their uses in practical research 2. The study
employs a descriptive-comparative study. It includes on assessing the mastery and
achievement level of the students on the target-learning competency. The study
comparatively describes the significant difference on the conducted pre-test and posttest.
The 99 students are purposively selected across the school track offering. In addition, a 30-
item test was utilized to determine the pretest and posttest. The result of the study before
the conduct of the intervention revealed that students manifested low mastery even teacher
is present. In addition, the use of intervention provided in improvement on the mastery of
the students towards understanding and nature of research. Furthermore it provides high
effect on the use of intervention in improving mastery and achievement of the students. The
study implies that the use modular distance learning facilitated by online teaching had shown
improvement on the mastery of the learning competency. It further recommends that use of
intervention and modular distance learning should effectively use across learning
competency in writing practical research.

Keywords: Intervention, learning modalities, learning approach, performance, teaching

Introduction

Education institutions such as schools, colleges and universities had challenged the
education system across the world. However many academic institution are reluctant to
change from traditional teaching approach to distance modular learning (Shigvangi, 2020).
As social distancing is preeminent at this stage had created negative effect on learning
opportunities of the learners. For this reason, education institution is struggling to find
options to deal with this challenging situation. These circumstances made us realize that
scenario planning is an urgent need for academic institutions (Reiley, 2020). This is a
situation that demands humanity and unity. There is an urgent need to protect and save our
students, faculty, academic staff, communities’ societies, and the nation as a whole

The Department of education has introduced its Basic Education Learning Continuity
Plan ( BE-LCP) which states the different adoption of various learning delivery options such
as but not limited to face-to-face, blended learnings, distance learnings, and home schooling
and other modes of delivery which will be implemented depending on the local COVID Risk
Severity Classification and compliance with minimum health standards. (DepEd Order
No.12 s2020). Several other public and private school also implemented distance education
methods of learning for its classes, such as use of educational technology. Electronic

learning (e-learning) has been considered as the most common delivery media for education
being developed to which the demand for e-learning opportunities have risen in recent years,
many professionals are beginning to question whether students are prepared to be
successful in an online learning environment. After all, the demonstrated success of
students in a conventional education and training classroom may not be an adequate
predictor of success in an e-learning classroom (Dhawan, 2020).

Given the anticipate disruptions in face-to-face holding of classes, and the need for
social distancing, distance learning will be a major component of learning delivery for this
incoming school year. The fears and apprehensions of our learners, parents and teachers of
Dupax del Sur National High School has revealed its basic education learning continuity plan
in which 72% of the total respondents had considered that the learning delivery mode of the
school will be the Modular Distance learning. The survey was conducted last April to May of
this year during the conduct of the early registration and remote enrolment.

During this COVID-19 lockdown, it has become increasing clear that basic education
for this school year will be in a new normal delivery of learning competencies to learner. The
establishment of different community learning center as a drop point and delivery of learning
packages has paved the major shift in the conduct of basic education. Consequently, this
study will attempt to determine the appropriateness of distance modular learning platform for
teaching and learning in the new normal. It aims of understanding its implication towards
learners’ achievement, mastery and experiences in the new normal form of achieving basic
education.

Methodology

The study described the implication of the modular distance learning as intervention
of the study as well as its achievement and mastery. Moreover, it comparatively compares
the gain percent mastery towards understanding nature and kinds of variables. A formative
assessment was administered to assess their achievement. The participants in this study
were captured from the Grade 12 students coming from Academic track (ABM & GAS) and
TVL track (EIM/HE) students. The basis in determining the participants were based on the
mastery level descriptions standards based rating (2019). From the mastery level descriptor
there are a total of 41 students of which 23 showed partial mastery and 18 students with little
mastery.

A diagnostic assessment was given to the students. The test is composed of 40-item
test along Practical Research 2 lessons. The researcher conducted the pre-test two weeks
before the utilization of the modular distance learning. The test was included in the learning
kit that was distributed in the different learning center. While on the chat box assigned, there
was a synchronize administration and time duration in answering of the test. The lesson
done in two weeks after the delivery of the lesson on kinds of variables using learning
activity sheet or self-learning modules. After two weeks a post-test was administered. The
scores of the students captured was utilized during their pre-test and post-test for purposes
of analysis and interpretation of data. Each of the data analyzed to determine the
effectiveness of the conducted modular distance learning using one sample t-test and mean
percentage in the learning competency. Percentage score derived the achievement and

Implications to Grade 12 Learners’ Achievement, Mastery and Experiences to Learn
SHORT DESCRIPTION OF THE RESEARCH:
Educational institutions such as schools, colleges and universities are currently
based on the traditional methods of learning, that is, following the traditional face-to-
face set up such as lectures inside the classroom. Although many academic
institutions have started blended learning, still a lot of them are stuck with old
procedures. The sudden outbreak of a deadly disease called COVID-19 caused by
Corona Virus as pandemic had shook the entire world and even the Philippines.
This situation had challenged the education system across all the world and forced
educators to shift to an online mode of teaching overnight. Shigvangi (2020)
mentioned that many of the academic institution that are earlier reluctant to change
their traditional pedagogical approach had no option but to shift entirely to distance
teaching and learning.
The synchronous learning environment is structured in the sense that real-
time interactions between teacher and learners and there is an instant feedback,
whereas asynchronous learning environment are not properly structured. This
means that learning content is not available in the form of live lectures or classes
but rather given into modules or self-learning materials and learning activity sheets.
Instant feedback and immediate response are not possible under such environment
(Littlefield, 2018).
Given the anticipate disruptions in face-to-face holding of classes, and the
need for social distancing, distance learning will be a major component of learning
delivery for this incoming school year. The fears and apprehensions of our
learners, parents and teachers of Dupax del Sur National High School has revealed
its basic education learning continuity plan in which 72% of the total respondents
had considered that the learning delivery mode of the school will be the Modular
Distance learning. The survey was conducted last April to May of this year during
the conduct of the early registration and remote enrolment.
During this COVID-19 lockdown, it has become increasing clear that basic
education for this school year will be in a new normal delivery of learning
competencies to learner. The establishment of different community learning center
as a drop point and delivery of learning packages has paved the major shift in the
conduct of basic education. Consequently, this study will attempt to determine the
appropriateness of distance modular learning platform for teaching and learning in
the new normal. It aims of understanding its implication towards learners’
achievement, mastery and experiences in the new normal form of achieving basic
education.
