say that everything has been change and continue changing, that includes the
policies remains implemented but there are also additional protocols that need
to be follows during the COVID-19 pandemic has started. We have seen that
one of the most affected when the said pandemic exists would be the
educational mode that needs for an adjustment for new mode of learning and
of learning given by the educations to the learners even the protocols such
face are allows. But does the learners really acquires good quality of learning
even along with those protocols? What is its impact to the academic

at their own pace in preparation for their future. But what if the teaching
process will be modular approach only, does it really has a big impact to the
educational institutions are keep on aiming to give the best quality of learning
simple question but very helpful to identify if the learners are able to continue
teachers in order for them to know the impact of modular learning approach to
the academic performance of their students. The Parents can also benefit from
this study as they see their children learn from modular modes of education.
Lastly, this study will be a great help to the other researchers and will be

The quality of education is good for all; the teaching method of teacher
towards teaching students will be more creative through the use of modular
plenty requirements that are usually the root of stress toward poor academic
performance.
Modular learning have found that it has good impact and positive effect
to the academic success of learners, but on the other hand, the influence is
the other hand, Keskin and Metcalf (2011) stated in their study that modular
order yet short in duration (Chen, 2019). Majority of people might say that this
approach is easier for the students as the home will serve as the school also
to learn. But it's just a surface grips and understanding regarding the modular
approach without knowing the factors and other things that would be its impact
to the students and their academic performance. But indeed, the struggles of
the teachers to teach deliver the lessons by the way of how the students will
understand the topic within just a period of time. It’s alike with the students
who are mostly in slow learners and some are in fast learners where the
needs of length of time to understand the lesson has been lost and wiped out.
The probability of having poor learning to acquire is high and the good

became mode of learning, there are some disadvantages of that both students
and teachers can have. There are some instances that the students do their
modules not wholeheartedly where they just do it for formality purpose. It’s
hard for the side of teachers to know that students are taking modules for
granted despite the lacking of abilities of teacher to visualize what have had
the learners been done in their homes. Another negative impact is that the
instead. It is very wrong that the parents supposed to tutor their children in
answering the modules but they do it all. Some students were just copied their
answers form their classmates even without reading the contents of the
modules, how do they learn if the bad deeds will continue to exist? The
notions of the students could bring it into negative impact as they think that
they never learn from modules which is indeed the learning is because of the
students can learn while they can earn, too because they can land a job along
with studies. This is good for those students who are self-sustainability and
willing to get money while pursuing higher education. It is good also for those
students who are not thrifty and money conservative because modular
learning makes the students saves more money as they don’t need to pay for
fare, boarding house as well as allowance. The time is now in the hand of
students, this is the fact that the lack of time before will turn into time comfort
management where they can answer if they will wherever and wherever of
their comfort zone. It’s just a matter of having self-discipline as well as self
motivated where the learners can learn in their own experience (Bijeesh,
2022).

even along with work. By this way of learning approach, they will be able to
combine humanities skills with tech skills, communication skills with coding
skills, analytical skills with design skills. The students themselves also become

given exercises that has been arranged as such formalizes the level of
difficulty where the learners can perform. Having better self-study and learning
skill among students are also some benefits of using modules for instruction
wherein the students engage themselves in learning concepts that has been
presented in the module. They are learning how to learn in their own way and
provided in the module with a bit or even no assistance from the teacher. The
learners progress on their own way yet they are empowered (Dangle &

The study utilized one set of instruments which was the survey

The researcher analyzed the data using descriptive statistics tools and
correlation to evaluate the research study. The data gathered on the academic

tasks in the modular learning were doubled within a certain amount of time
frame and resources were not available” which means that the students
agreed that they cannot finished double or triple activities within a certain
period time during modular learning approach because the resources were not

approach was not in a usual classroom, the teachers still guided the students
to set for their personal plan as well as developed and brought them to the
place where they can achieved those targets. This was followed by the

the modules, or textbooks provided for them which is a good way to develop the sense
of taking responsibility into deeds towards accomplishing the given tasks in the
