Challenges and Barriers Encountered by G10-Agoncillo Learners in the Implementation of Modular Distance Learning at Taal National High School

Abstract

The action research aimed to determine the challenges and barriers that G10 - Agoncillo learners from Taal NHS had encountered due to the implementation of Modular Distance Learning. The respondents of the study were the 39 learners who were currently enrolled as Grade 10 Section Agoncillo. The researcher used a research-made questionnaire to gather data necessary for the study. The data collected were analyzed and statistically interpreted to support the identified questions. The researcher made use of frequency count, weighted mean and ranking to explain the data gathered. The results of the study revealed that respondents considered “Poor Time Management” as one of their greatest challenges encountered. Moreover, the researcher found out that the respondents have series of solutions to the identified challenges and thus ranked them from the most relevant to least relevant. The study further revealed that a series of suggested activity may help learners address their challenges and barriers properly thus accomplishing their MDL-SLM properly.
