How does DepEd's modular learning work?
Under DepEd's printed modular learning system, students will be provided with self-learning materials . Teachers will be giving students SLMs per quarter. That will mean students will be receiving 4 sets of SLMs for one whole academic year.The SLMs will be distributed to parents before the opening of classes. For students whose parents are not available to get these from schools, there will be designated pick up points in their barangays.
This kind of setup, however, poses risks. Teachers and parents raised concerns over using the modular learning approach due to fears of contracting the coronavirus. While DepEd acknowledges the importance of periodical tests in assessing students' understanding of the lessons, Education Undersecretary Diosdado San Antonio said that the pandemic compelled them to be"more creative and flexible in implementing summative assessment schemes without sacrificing assessment’s credibility."
Despite the shift to distance learning, DepEd earlier said that there will be no changes in the subject areas that will be taught for the school year 2020-2021.
