 ABSTRACT

The COVID-19 pandemic posed unusual challenges to the stakeholders,

including teachers, parents, and kids. This study examined the instructional

competencies of instructors in that context. The researcher concluded that the

teaching-learning process in new normal education had an impact on students'

performance, particularly when employing a modular approach to learning

mathematics. With this in mind, the study aimed to ascertain how the students felt

about the modular distance learning approach (MDLA) in mathematics, determine the

difficulties that students face, look at how MDLA affects students' academic

performance in Mathematics, gauge the level of academic performance of students,

look for significant differences in perceptions when they are grouped by their gender

and age, and look for the connection between students' perceptions of MDLA and

their academic performance in Mathematics. In this study, the descriptive research

design was used. Through the use of purposive random sampling, the researcher

recruited 42 students from second year and third year mathematics major who are

now enrolled at Eastern Samar State University Can-Avid. The survey questionnaire

was applied in the study. Mean, frequency counts and percentage, t-test for

independent samples, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and person product-

moment correlation were used to analyze and interpret the data. The study's findings

showed that students generally agreed to use a modular approach to distant learning

(MDLA). It indicates that the students' opinions on MDLA in mathematics were

favorable. The survey also showed that students generally believed that using the

modular distance learning method (MDLA) in math presented few difficulties. It also

had a positive impact on student’s academic achievement, as seen by the fact that

they excelled in mathematics. This indicates that their work was of high caliber.
However, the study also showed that when they were classified by gender and age,

there was no discernible variation in their perceptions, indicating that the students'

perceptions were the same.
