Abstract

The covid-19 pandemic brought a remarkable impact on mankind. Like the economy, education suffers a tremendous trial in the system. The shift of the delivery of instruction to self-directed modular learning had challenged both the students and teachers. Hence, the study aimed to determine the challenges that teachers and students faced in the self-directed modular learning modalities in secondary schools of the Municipality of Katipunan Zamboanga del Norte. The study employed the sequential explanatory mixed methods design and thematic analysis technique. The study revealed that teachers encountered challenges in dealing with the Self-directed Modular Learning Modality. However, the challenges met do not affect the student’s academic performance. The study strongly recommends that the implementation of the Self-Modular Learning Modality will be reviewed carefully. Coping Strategies applied in overcoming the challenges will be examined thoroughly to devise constructive inputs to improve DepEd school's existing programs and guidelines. As partner institution, JRMSU-Katipunan Campus through the College of Education with the collaboration of the Guidance office will conduct intervention programs for students and teachers. Orientation for parents on home-based learning will be conducted. Budget allocation for internet connectivity, bending machines and computer sets will be requested from the government through the barangay, and training programs in line with technological skills development for teachers will be implemented.
