Learning Readiness and Level of Science Learning Outcomes in Modular Distance Modality

Abstract

The study investigates the students’ learning readiness and their level of learning outcomes in the science subject during the modular distance modality. The descriptive-correlational design gathered relevant data to determine the relationship between learning readiness and the level of learning outcomes. Through a survey questionnaire, data were gathered from 273 Grade 11 students enrolled in a public High School during the School Year 2021-2022. Based on the results, the students are moderately ready in terms of self-knowledge, analyzing context, and activating knowledge. Similarly, they are also moderately ready in terms of designing learning pathways, clarifying knowledge, and apply understanding. Likewise, the respondents are at the level of moderately engaged in their learning outcomes in Science in modular distance modality as to knowledge in terms of content, process, and nature of science knowledge, and behavior and stewardship; as to skills in terms of science inquiry and self-efficacy; as to attitude in terms of interest and motivation. Finally, a significant relationship was found between learning readiness and the level of learning outcomes in Science in modular distance modality. These results suggest that knowing how learning readiness affects the level of learning outcomes in Science in modular distance modality can help to determine, develop and enhance self-learning materials that the learners may use in the distance modality.
