Note: Pina check lang sa akin to pero super busy ako kaya I'm asking your help. Confidential.
Isn't it necessary for students to have guidance for their lessons and questions? Ever since the pandemic started this is the reality that students and teachers are facing. Students can't go to school because of the risk of being infected so the least they can do is for them is to stay at home. That's why why the DepEd provided an alternative learning system which one of them is the Modular Distance Learning (MDL) But is it really the best and perfect solution?
No. Its not, there are also students who are incapable of studying on their own and some that doesn't have any desire for studying anymore so they make others do it for them. Needless to say the distractions at home like the gadgets, the technologies, the games and the social media. These are also the factors that affects the students in the independent learning. According to the study of psychosocial support and childrens right resource center(PSTCRRC) 33% of the students who participated in the survey says that there is no place to learn like the school. While 67% says that they found it challenging to understand what is written in their modules. Judging from their opinions, most of them found it hard to adjust to the independent learning that's whythose 67% students must have a hard time answering their modules without any guidance from teachers. Some students has parents who can help them with their modules, but what about those who have not because not all parents too can read or write. And as a result, students will only leave blanks on their papers showing that they had learned nothing. Imagine, you have a friend who isn't really capable of the independent learning. One day that friend asked you to send answers because he told you that he finds it really hard to understand and comprehend the writings on your lessons. And so you sent your answer that you studied really hard to him. But what is the difference? It's you who studied it and you learned something but what about your friend? What will he understand from your module aside from the one your he copied? Nothing. Who would know aside from you two that you two shared answers. No one will know unless it was checked properly . So technically, students consider that it might be okay for them to copy each others answers or that teachers would just tolerate their behaviour. This affects their mindset from being honest students to being a cheater. Perhaps the most devastating fact about the independent learning is that the students have their freedom on what they want to do. It's a good thing, having your freedom is also good but they waste their time on internets and games. They neglect their responsibilities as students and take it for granted not knowing that their future relies on how they do well today. Some says that independent learning is also helpful to students as it molds their ability to be independent and be responsible. However, not students are too passionate for individual learning. Majority of the students prefer face-to-face classes than modular learning because they find the doing of modules boring and hard. So if this is the way students are studying these days, what will they learn for their future? If there would be no face-to-face how would the students gain experience for their professions, would the future professionals be less experienced or less competent? It will make big impact on our economy and our country in the future. Therefore, being on independent learning is much harder than the face-to-face classes. That's why we must do our best to help get everything back to normal because cooperation is a strongest way to fight back. For a brighter future of our future doctors, teachers, chefs, police, soldiers, and future armies, they must have the best or if not the best, atleast the most conductive and comfortable learning areas for them to cultivate their personality, their strengths, their goals and dreams. "Youths are the hope of our country" quoted by Dr. Jose Rizal. If we dont invest to our learners, then we wont have any gains for succesful people in our future world.
Independent Learning
What if modular distance learning will remain longer throughout the pandemic or much longer, would the students learn as much as they learn at school during f2f classes?
