Analysis On The Effectiveness Of Printed Modules And Instructional Videos: Basis For Action Plan

Abstract

Schools across the country implemented Modular Distance Learning (MDL) under the Basic Education Learning Continuity Plan (BE-LCP, DO 12, s. 2020) to ensure the continuity of education amid the threats and uncertainties brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of printed modules and instructional videos on the learning of Grade 1 pupils in Filipino in selected schools in Malasiqui District II during the school year 2020–2021. Specifically, it sought to: (1) assess the level of performance in Filipino of Grade 1 learners using printed modules; (2) assess the level of performance of Grade 1 learners using instructional videos; and (3) identify the significant difference between the two groups’ performance levels.A descriptive-developmental research design was employed. Quantitative data were analyzed using frequency counts and percentages to determine learners' performance levels, while a t-test was used to establish the significance of differences between the two groups. The findings revealed that printed modules were effective as an alternative learning delivery modality. However, instructional videos proved to be more effective in improving learners’ performance in Filipino. An action plan was developed based on the results to further enhance the teaching and learning process under MDL. The study may guide educators in reflecting on and refining their instructional strategies to improve learning outcomes. Additionally, future researchers focusing on distance learning and the use of instructional materials such as printed modules and videos may use the findings of this study as a valuable reference.
