Advances in Image and Video Processing

This study aimed to explore the experiences of the twenty-seven (27) parents of the Grade six learners, as "More Knowledgeable Others" toward Modular Distance Learning Delivery at Cantilo Elementary School, Pamplona 1, City Schools Division of Tanjay. The qualitative method through phenomenological research was used. It is the method of discovering and structuring the meaning of human incidents through interviews with people involved in the real-life experience (Creswell, 2007; Polit and Beck, 2012). Purposive sampling was used as a sampling technique to recruit participants who can provide in-depth and detailed information about the phenomenon under investigation. Findings revealed that the 27 parents have expressed their insights and suggestions in support or against the continuous delivery of modular distance learning in the School Year 2021-2022. Although there were some negative suggestions, despite the minority in scope these deserved the attention of all the stakeholders both in the school and the local government. The majority of the parent-respondents embraced and supported the modular distance learning modality so that the education of their children would be continued, facilitated, and assessed both by the teachers and parents. However, continuous assistance (material and non-material) from barangay officials and LGU officials have always been appreciated. Should the MDL be continued in the upcoming school years, the parents have expressed their all-out support as long as they will continually be guided and assisted by the school teachers and officials regarding the proper procedures for handling their children while learning at home.

This study investigated the limitations experienced by students, parents, and teachers in the implementation of Modular Distance Learning in Lagundi-CCL National High School during the school year 2021-2022. The researcher utilized the combination of quantitative and qualitative methods of research. An online research questionnaire utilizing Google Form was used to gather necessary information from the eighty (80) students, eighty (80) parents, and thirty-one (31) teachers who served as the respondents of this paper. Based on the results, the three major limitations experienced by students were: 1) insufficient knowledge of parents/ family members; 2) unavailability of gadgets; and 3) too many activities. In addition, parents' three major limitations were: 1) insufficient knowledge about the lessons; 2) difficulties in schedule of distribution and retrieval of modules; and 3) working parents. Furthermore, the identified limitations of teachers were: 1) too many additional tasks for teachers; 2) unavailability of self-learning modules; and 3) students who were lagging behind. From these limitations the respondents had given their suggestions. The students suggested that: 1) lessen the activities that are given to them; 2) conduct an online class even once a week; and 3) give additional time to answer the learning tasks. Meanwhile, parents' suggestions were: 1) enough information and examples in the modules should be given; 2) lessen the learning tasks; and 3) guide the parents on how to assist their children. Lastly, teachers' suggestions include: 1) proper dissemination of program, projects, and activities related to modular distance learning; 2) capacitate parents and students on MDL; and 3) distribution and retrieval should be done every other two weeks. The researchers crafted a process framework which may serve as basis in the modification of the implementation of modular distance learning which included seven (7) strategic dimensions.

The general purpose of this study was to find out the level of extent on the parental involvement in the implementation of modular distance learning approach in Botolan District, Division of Zambales, Philippines during school year 2020-2021. The study revealed that the parent-respondent is a typical female in her early adulthood, married, high school graduate with part-time work and meagre income whose children are at primary grade level. The academic performance of the parent-respondents' children was assessed-Very Satisfactory‖. Perceived-Highly Involved‖ on Parent as a Teacher and Acceptance of the Self-Learning Module while-Involved‖ on Submission of the Self-Learning Module. There is significant difference when grouped according to highest educational attainment towards Parent as a Teacher, Acceptance and Submission of the Self-learning module respectively; significant when grouped according to family income towards Parent as Teacher and Acceptance of the Self-Learning Module; while significant on number of children studying in the elementary level towards Parent as Teacher and Submission of the Self-Learning Module respectively. There is significant difference on the perception towards dimensions on the level ofextent on the parental involvement in the implementation of modular distance learning approach. There is negatively weak or little relationship between the level of academic performance and the level ofextent on the parental involvement in the implementation of modular distance learning approach. Based on the summary of the investigations conducted and the conclusions arrived at, the researcher recommended that the parents are encouraged to be given orientation to heighten awareness on their respective limited roles in the implementation of the self-learning modular approach; that parents are encouraged to help children developed with high levels of self-directed learning, to have strong for learning.\

During this pandemic, several schools opted for modular remote education. One of the elementary schools that selected Modular Distance Learning (MDL) as their primary mode of instruction for various reasons is Antipuluan Elementary School, a public elementary school in the Municipality of Narra, Palawan, the Philippines. However, the usage of this modality, which is unknown to many, has presented difficulties for everyone-including school staff, students, and their parents. Hence the conduct of this study. This quantitative research employed a Descriptive-Correlational Approach and involved 15 elementary teachers, 141 pupils, and 141 parents as the main data sources. A researcher-made questionnaire was used to collect data, which was then analyzed using mean, standard deviation, and Pearson product-moment correlation. The study found that the extent of Modular Distance Learning modality implementation was High, teachers', pupils', and parents' degrees of acceptance of the MDL implementation were High, and there was a strong relationship between the teachers' degree of acceptance of MDL implementation and the degree of its implementation. The perceived effects of MDL implementation have a direct relationship with the degree of their acceptance by teachers and parents.

Education has undergone a radical change because of COVID-19. It completely altered the way we approach education. The gap in learning possibilities had already widened even before the pandemic, but it had widened more significantly in challenging areas. With the closure of schools, parents' role becomes even more indispensable. Considering the unique difficulties faced by parents caring for their children at home during the lockdown, it is possible that these circumstances have either increased or created new difficulties for at-home parental involvement. Hence, understanding parents' perspectives in terms of their involvement in their students learning during these unprecedented times was the focus of the study. This study presented three (3) cases through multiple case study methodological perspective. The three (3) participants (parents) were selected through purposive sampling on the following bases: (1) they were parents who have children enrolled in a challenged area like the remote or mountainous areas in the municipality of Calinog, Iloilo, (2) they were identified as parents who were actively involved in facilitating the learning of their children, and (3) were willing to participate in the research. Sources of data were interviews and observations from participants and significant other. The result of the study revealed that parents in challenged areas got involved with the modular learning of their children by creating time and opportunity for study, encouragement and through monitoring and discipline. The issues and challenges faced in parental involvement were, parents lack of knowledge, unpleasant behavior of children in answering the modules, working parents, and vulnerable to distraction. The strategies employed by parents in challenged areas in modular learning were constant update with the teacher, encourage simple routines and making use of available support systems.
