Barangay Elementary Schools’ Readiness and Effectiveness on Distance Learning as Perceived by 4Ps (Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program) Parent-Recipients
Keywords:
Effectiveness, Readiness, Distance Learning, Educational Attainment, Barangay Elementary SchoolsAbstract
Continuity in education is a crucial task of the education sector in the time of pandemic. Thus, a study was made on the level of readiness and effectiveness on the implementation of distance learning among Barangay Elementary Schools in Taft district, province of Eastern Samar during the school year 2020-2021. Using correlational research design, the Researcher employed survey questionnaire among 100 4Ps’ parents selected via total enumeration technique. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics at .05 level of significance. Findings revealed that the majority of the Parent-Recipients are earning a living through crop farming with a secondary level of education and that they belong to small family size. The Barangay Elementary Schools are perceived to be highly ready and very effective in implementing distance learning. Notably, there is a significant negative association between parents’ educational attainment and the perceived effectiveness of modular distance learning implementation, while there is a significant positive relationship between schools’ readiness and effectiveness in implementing distance learning. Moreover, data revealed a significant difference in schools’ readiness to implement distance learning. Hence, it is recommended for the Department of Education to provide a guidebook to parents that will enable them to assist their children in answering learning modules correctly, and to regularly review and monitor schools’ learning continuity plans and to strengthen linkages with other stakeholders.
