Towards an Enhanced Implementation of Printed Modular Distance Learning in the Philippines: A Meta-Synthesis

Implementing modular distance learning (MDL) in the Philippines remains problematic. We review studies on printed MDL to create themes for its enhanced implementation. A meta-synthesis of qualitative studies was executed, and a comprehensive search in Google Scholar was conducted. A thematic synthesis was performed, revealing the four presences to enhance the implementation of printed MDL, such as: structural; community; intervention; and quality assurance. The structural presence underscores module designs that can capture students' interests and learning, as well as module content that can articulate curricular learning competencies and students' context, needs, and situations. The community presence highlights that education in the MDL is not the sole responsibility of students. Contrary to the common idea that MDL is about providing modules for students to study independently, MDL is everyone's responsibility. The family members and teachers, as well as community members and sectors, have roles to play and must work together to produce more desirable learning outcomes. The intervention presence emphasizes instructional and socio-emotional support to help students overcome academic and personal difficulties and foster a positive and supportive learning atmosphere. Quality assurance presence highlights the systematic actions in the planning, development, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation processes to ensure the MDL's quality implementation and continuous improvement. The provision of quality includes meeting stakeholders' needs and conforming to desired outcomes or standards. Hence, education officials may adopt the identified presences for the orientation and training activities to enhance the implementation of MDL.

As COVID-19 forced schools to shift to distance learning, the modular approach, in particular, became the most viable option for the continuity of learning. However, these sudden changes also brought unique experiences to novice teachers. This study explored the lived experiences of novice secondary school English teachers (NSSET) in Tagum City in implementing modular distance learning (MDL) in the context of the pandemic. Phenomenological inquiry based on Bronfenbrenner's ecological theory was used to explain the experiences of the eight (8) participants. Using validated researcher-made interview questions, virtual in-depth interviews were conducted. Through Braun and Clarke's (2006) six-step framework, themes that emerged, categorized into five echelons, are as follows: poor cooperation of parents and students, and productive collaboration with colleagues and immediate heads; overwhelming pressure from external sources, and taking direction from others' influence; perpetual communication breakdown, and confronting challenges in the delivery of modular learning; meeting society's expectations; abrupt adjustment to the new normal. These shape the experiences of the NSSET in conducting MDL in the new normal. However, the poor cooperation of parents and students poses the most significant experience for the NSSET. Notwithstanding, novice teachers navigated successfully through these experiences brought about by implementing MDL amid the pandemic.

Pros and Cons of Modular Distance Learning (MDL) as a Student

Modular Distance Learning (MDL) has become increasingly popular among students, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. This article aims to explore the pros and cons of MDL from a student's perspective. One of the main advantages of MDL is its flexibility. Students have the freedom to learn at their own pace and can access course materials anytime, anywhere. This allows for better time management and the ability to balance other commitments such as work or family responsibilities. Another benefit of MDL is the opportunity for personalized learning. With online platforms and resources, students can tailor their learning experience to their individual needs and preferences. They can choose the topics they want to focus on, review materials as many times as needed, and engage in interactive discussions with peers and instructors. However, there are also some drawbacks to MDL. One major challenge is the lack of face-to-face interaction. Traditional classroom settings provide opportunities for students to engage in discussions, ask questions, and receive immediate feedback. In MDL, this interaction is limited to virtual platforms, which may not be as effective for some students. Another disadvantage is the potential for distractions. Studying from home or any other location can be challenging due to various distractions like noise, household chores, or personal devices. This can hinder concentration and impact the overall learning experience. In conclusion, MDL offers flexibility and personalized learning opportunities for students. However, it also presents challenges such as limited face-to-face interaction and potential distractions. It is important for students to weigh these pros and cons and determine if MDL is the right fit for their learning style and goals. Word count: 247 words

Similarities between traveling protocols and the protocol of plasma membrane.

Traveling and the protocol of the plasma membrane may seem like unrelated topics at first glance, but upon closer examination, we can find surprising similarities between the two. Both involve a set of rules and processes that govern their functioning, ensuring smooth and efficient operation. In this essay, we will explore the similarities between the protocols of traveling and the protocol of the plasma membrane. Firstly, both traveling and the protocol of the plasma membrane require a system of checkpoints. When we travel, we encounter various checkpoints such as airport security, immigration, and customs. These checkpoints ensure our safety and regulate the flow of people and goods. Similarly, the plasma membrane of a cell acts as a checkpoint, controlling the movement of substances in and out of the cell. It selectively allows certain molecules to pass through while blocking others, maintaining the cell's internal environment. Secondly, both traveling and the protocol of the plasma membrane involve the concept of transport. When we travel, we rely on various modes of transportation such as planes, trains, or cars to reach our destination. Similarly, the plasma membrane utilizes various transport proteins to facilitate the movement of molecules across the cell membrane. These transport proteins act as gatekeepers, allowing specific molecules to enter or exit the cell. Furthermore, both traveling and the protocol of the plasma membrane require communication systems. When we travel, we rely on communication networks such as airports, train stations, and road signs to navigate and coordinate our journey. Similarly, the plasma membrane contains receptor proteins that allow cells to communicate with each other. These receptor proteins receive signals from the external environment and transmit them to the cell's interior, enabling cellular responses. Lastly, both traveling and the protocol of the plasma membrane involve the concept of regulation. When we travel, we follow rules and regulations set by authorities to ensure safety and order. Similarly, the plasma membrane regulates the movement of molecules in a controlled manner. It maintains the balance of ions, nutrients, and waste products, ensuring the cell's proper functioning. In conclusion, the protocols of traveling and the protocol of the plasma membrane share several similarities. Both involve checkpoints, transport systems, communication networks, and regulation. By understanding these similarities, we can appreciate the intricate processes that govern both our travel experiences and the functioning of cells. Whether we are exploring new destinations or delving into the complexities of cellular biology, protocols play a crucial role in ensuring efficiency and order.

JONATHAN P. ROQUE

In the Philippines, attempting to push through education despite the fatal pandemic caused by Covid-19 has proven to be a difficult undertaking. Despite several objections, the Department of Education (DepEd) and the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) accepted and implemented the flexible model of blended learning, despite the risk of open courses due to the virus. Modular (Printed), Modular (Digital), Online, Educational TV, Radio-Based Instruction, Home Schooling, and Blended Learning is the many learning modes. Using the systematic review, the study aims to determine the main educational experiences that used the Modular Distance Learning approach for the promotion of educational knowledge within the Higher Education stage. Modular Distance Learning is implemented for those living in rural areas or provinces where internet connection is only available for a few. The usage of Modules created by teachers with various tasks and learning activities based on the fundamental learning abilities is known as modular distance learning. Thus, the main findings of the study revealed that the implementation of modular distance learning or distance education resulted in a significant improvement in students’ knowledge of the specific content covered, despite the fact that both technical and non-technical problems occur during their teaching in distance learning.
