Author(s): Lionelle Rei Balgos and Susan Vicente D Villarente
Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic has brought so many disruptions in education because most institutions are not yet ready for the sudden mode of learning. Distance learning is a big challenge for many learners, especially students with special needs. This study explored the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic regarding the implementation of modular distance learning on the parents of learners with special educational needs. A qualitative-narrative research design was employed to explore participants' stories and experiences. Thematic analysis was used to identify patterns of themes in the interview data. The results found that difficulty in teaching, lack of time, overloaded lesson activities, and low-quality modules were the challenges encountered by the participants in modular distance learning. Based on the findings, it is essential to create capacity-building activities and programs to equip them with the skills and competencies needed for modular distance learning.
