Geraldine D. Anzaldo

Abstract

Education in the new normal is a challenging task in the Philippines in an attempt to push through education amidst the deadly pandemic caused by covid-19.  The Department of Education (DepEd) and Commission on Higher Education (CHED) adopted and implemented the flexible model of blended learning despite many oppositions because of the risk to open classes because of the virus. The different learning modalities are the following: Modular (Printed), Modular (Digitized), Online, Educational TV, Radio-Based Instruction, Home Schooling and Blended Learning. For the cities where modern living is adapted and students and learners have the privilege of having internet connection at home, Online learning is implemented especially for the high schools and colleges but for those living in rural areas or provinces where internet connection is only available for only few, Modular Distance Learning is implemented. Modular Distance Learning is the use of Modules made by teachers with different tasks and learning activities based from the essential learning competencies.
