Teachers have started distributing sample modules for grade school. This is done in preparation for the upcoming official opening of classes amidst this pandemic.
Modules were quite good in terms of illustration. It's easy to read and answer. Photos were great, though, it's printed in black and white, still gives good presentation.
Upon scanning and reading the content, these modules showed complications to the fact that you have to read it carefully and understand the texts to be able to relay it to your child.
As parents, it will be easy for us in terms of our kids attitude. We know how they behave so we have our own strategies to keep them focused.
I realized, it would be a great challenge for parents in terms of teaching their kids and explaining to them the whole content of each module. Except for those in higher grades where kids already know how to read and write and understand it on their own. They can work with less supervision.
How about the early grades (1st to 4th grade)? What I'm more worried about is that even a degree holder experience hard times understanding the texts, what more for the parents who never had the chance to finish grade school? Will they be able to teach their kids properly? Will they even be able to read or understand the content? 🤔
Some may even find it awkward setting up a mini classroom in a messy home. 😅 But that's not the point. We can always find a way to give our kids a decent workplace. The point is - how will they be able to relay what is being taught in the modules?
But you know, we all have to deal with it. This is the new normal. We have to be resourceful as much as we can to give our children the best.
I just hope our teachers will continue their efforts to help parents in giving their children quality education despite this world wide calamity.
A snappy salute to our teachers who never gets tired of sharing their love to their pupils. To teachers who always have the initiative to help parents achieve the knowledge and support needed in this new mode of learning. Thank you...
Printed modules were indeed a great help to our children. I just pray that schools give proper orientation to our dear parents for better understanding. It would be great if they be given something like a DIY pattern on how to teach their own children without hustle. 😊
What is your opinion about this?? 🤔
I haven't seen the printed modules because my sister doesn't have her module yet.
If the modules are hard to comprehend it's actually not the teacher's fault because they are just printing those curriculum materials. Those modules are just being handed to them by DepEd and they will have to print it.
Sad to say, because this pandemic is too sudden, of course there is not enough time to prepare for everything and for sure it's also a challenge for the curriculum stakeholders. Parent's should be thankful that the authorities are doing their best to educate the children and the youth amid this pandemic.
The education sector is actually doing their best to provide quality education to children. Their goal is for time not to be wasted because if we are going to wait for classes to resume after everything gets back to normal, it would be too late for the children. Just imagine the children not getting any knowledge for quite a while.
Good thing that in our municipality we have the so called blended learning. Blended learning because the municipality took an initiative to set up a radio station intended solely for discussion of lessons from first grade to 6th grade. They have lesson discussion for about an hour on a specific subject and after the discussion, parents can assist their children in answering the modules. And aside from listening to radio, they also arranged for live videos that can be watched on facebook. Those who are unable to watched the lesson can replay the videos. It only shows that those in authorities are actually doing their best to help feed the hungry minds of these children 💕
hehe speaking in behalf of the teachers @Jabs 😅
