Senior High School Students' Assessment of Academic Support on Modular Distance Learning During COVID-19

:Modular Distance Learning (MDL) is a way of learning in the Philippines' basic education that allows students to access printed self-learning modules (SLM) and modules that can be accessed digitally or via electronic devices such as laptops, computers, tablets, and smartphones. The purpose of this study was to determine how senior high school students perceive academic support in modular distance learning. It was conducted for two months in two senior high schools in one of the districts in the Division of Misamis Oriental and had fifty respondents. This study was descriptive in nature involving quantitative analyses. Purposive sampling was used in identifying the senior high school students. The instrument used was a demographic profiling questionnaire and a self-made 20-item survey questionnaire. Four master teachers and two principals validated it. In determining the significant difference, ANOVA was utilized as a statistical treatment. Findings revealed that most student-respondents were enrolled in Technical Vocational Track and belonged to the lowincome class. Additionally, when students were grouped according to their demographic profile, their assessment of academic support indicated a significant difference in the support they received from teachers and peers but no difference in the academic support they received from technical and parental sources. Teachers, parents, and administrators all contribute significantly to the students' learning process. Academic support is only possible when administrators, teachers, parents, and members of the community work together effective
