In March 2020, the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic forced schools in the Philippines to stop face-to-face learning activities and abruptly shift to modular approach. In practical sense, the modular approach situates Filipino students to learn in the comfort of their homes. Reading attitude is the feeling that results in the adoption or avoidance of positive reading habits. Along this line of thinking, the study was conducted to determine the effects of modular approach on the reading attitude and reading proficiency of Grade 3 learners in Mindanao State University- Integrated Laboratory School. The research employed a descriptive correlational research design. A standardized test questionnaire was used to gather data and distributed to 128 both learners and parents in Grade 3. Results divulged that majority of the respondents aged 10 years old. Majority of respondents’ parents’ educational attainment was high school graduate. Further the relationship between the learners’ profile and perceived effect of modular approach and their profile showed that the learners’ perceptions are not significantly related to their profile. However, the modular approach does not affect their reading attitude and reading proficiency. To address the modular approach problem encountered by the respondents, an Enhanced English Reading Module is hereby recommended.

The suspension of conduct of face-to-face learning has shifted the Catanduanes State University (CatSU) to adapt flexible blended learning in delivering instruction and learning experiences to its students. As directed by the Commission on Higher Education, universities and colleges in the Philippines should adapt flexible blended learning. With limited training on blended learning, the CatSU faculty members are prone to some limitations and drawbacks while implementing the adapted Learning Delivery Modalities (LDMs). An investigation on the implementation of LDMs in CatSU revealed that faculty members used blended learning that is a combination of online synchronous or asynchronous classes to offline modular distance learning. The platform used by the faculty members in conducting synchronous classes were Zoom and Google Meet. On the other hand, the platform used in conducting asynchronous sessions was Google Classroom. While the adapted flexible blended learning of CatSU faculty members include online learning, a few faculty members reported that they had trouble in contacting their students since either the students don’t own mobile phones, or they don’t have phone signals at home. Some faculty members considered having not provided with internet service at school as a minor problem. Possible solutions for the different problems encountered by the faculty members have been recommended in this study.

Volition explains the transition from desire, or motivation, to action especially when faced with competing goals. In learning environments, the concept refers to acting with the aim of achieving learning objectives. Despite the importance of volition in learning environments, research has rarely addressed the volition construct. Thus, the purpose of this study was to explore and develop a valid and reliable scale to measure the volition construct in online and face to face learning environments. The data for this research were collected from 594 undergraduate online learners who also took some courses face to face at a state university in Turkey. After analyzing the validity and reliability of the scale, a two-factor, 13-item volition for learning scale was developed. The scale was comprised of two factors: action planning and action control. Confirmatory factor analysis results confirm the factor structure of the scale. Results indicated that the volition for learning scale is a valid and reliable instrument that can be utilized to measure learners’ volition in learning environments.

The COVID-19 outbreak resulted in the sudden shift from on-campus class to remote learning using different ways, but mainly through the use of the internet to deliver instruction and submit the requirements. While the news is full of statistics about the COVID-19 cases, recoveries, and deaths, not much has been written about the plight of students during the pandemic. This study looked into the lived experiences of the five education students enrolled in Batangas State University learning on their own at home during the time of the Luzonwide lockdown in the Philippines. This phenomenological research utilized voice calls (Messenger) in getting data from the participants. In analyzing the data, the researchers identified the frequent words or phrases, categorized the responses, then identified the themes. Four themes emerged from the interviews: students partook in asynchronous learning for grades; remote education during a pandemic affords students’ stress and anxiety; students prefer in-face classes over distance learning; and they have insufficient technology. The study concluded with the understanding that the sudden implementation of distance learning, the student-participants view this mode of learning as a means to comply and to cope with the set standards given the available measures and resources. The student-participants are able to experience the truly independent and individual manner of learning. Participants need to adjust to the new mode of learning, for they are still in the traditional face to face mode of delivery of learning and education and Resources and means to connect are the major concerns of students especially those in the remote areas both the region and nearby provinces.

Face To Face Learning

Each student has their own learning style which can be one of the factors that will support their success in learning. In general, learning styles are divided into: visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. Some students categorized as visual, and others categorized as auditory or kinesthetic. Students tend to process information more quickly if the information obtained in accordance with their style. Lecturers should know the student's learning style so they can design an instruction that suits them. This study aimed to uncover the learning styles of students of Padang State University. The study of literature used to reveal the importance of learning styles to be considered in the blended learning process, both in face-to-face learning and online learning. The research found that 57% of students have a visual learning style, 27% have auditory learning style, and the rest have a kinesthetic learning style. These results may be better used as guidelines for lecturers to design blended learning.

After a year and a half of online learning due to the Covid-19 pandemic, face-to-face learning is limited to taking into account strict health procedures. Limited face-to-face learning (PTMT) is not necessarily the same as face-to-face learning before the Covid-19 pandemic occurred, because it contains elements that collaborate face-to-face learning with online learning, which in contemporary terms is called hybrid learning. Therefore, the intensification of face-to-face learning activities is a determinant of learning success so that the learning outcomes obtained by students can be maximized. The purpose of this study was to determine whether or not there was an increase in learning outcomes in Understanding Ball Throwing Techniques through the application of the Snowball Throwing Cooperative model in grade 3-A students of SD Negeri Wonokusumo IV/43 Surabaya. This research was conducted at SD Negeri Wonokusumo IV/43, Semampir sub-district, Surabaya City with a two-cycle action research mechanism. Based on data analysis, from this study it can be concluded that there is an increase in learning outcomes in Understanding Ball Throwing Techniques through the application of the Snowball Throwing Cooperative model in grade 3-A students of SD Negeri Wonokusumo IV/43 Surabaya.

Thus, the students’ learning depends on what the school’s application of most effective and attainable teaching approach especially in the time of covid-19 pandemic.  With the implementation of the new normal education, the difficulties encountered among stakeholders because of an alternative learning delivery – modular distance learning being applied in order to facilitate and to continue to serve the good education in different schools in the country Philippines. With this, the study sought to determine the perceptions of the students in Mindanao State University –Sulu regarding their experiences during face-to-face learning approach and modular distance learning approach, to ascertain the factors that can affect face-to-face learning and modular learning as perceived by the students of Mindanao State University-Sulu. This also aimed to find out the significant difference of students’ perceptions in the two learning approach. This study utilized random sampling technique through launching a survey questionnaire in assessing the perceptions of the students in Mindanao State University –Sulu by at least ten percent of the total number of enrollees from the seven departments existing in the university campus academic year 2020-2021. The findings of this study revealed that students agreed that face-to-face learning approach gives significant and had much contribution to their learning while they have disagreed on modular distance learning approach. They also believed that there are factors can affect their learning either in face-to-face and during modular learning. There is a significant difference of students’ perceptions in face-to-face learning approach and modular distance learning approach that resulted to the rejection of the null hypothesis. This study recommended that principal/director should encourage and motivate the subordinates to achieve a certain task for the good of their school. He/she should conduct an orientation program to inform parents that they are partners of teachers in education in time of crisis. Principal/director should also be responsible for interacting with teachers, representative of other school, and other stakeholders to acquire the various materials and resources for the teachers and students. There should be a training/seminar programs for the benefits of his/her subordinates in achieving school’s goals. He/she should also give clear instructions to the teachers, parents that their primary role during Modular is to establish a connection and guide the students. Lastly, he/she should encourage teachers to adopt modular even during face-to-face classes.
