1. Lim (2016) identified the effectiveness of modular approach compared to lecture
method in teaching Mathematics specifically word problem solving. Students who were
taught through modular approach performed better than those who were exposed to
traditional lecture method. Moreover, it was found out that self-learning modules aid
students in improving study habits. This concluded that modular approach is an
appropriate strategy in teaching mathematics subjects effectively.

2. Ambayon (2020)’s study on modular-based approach and students’ achievement
in literature, which is a response to ineffective instruction of literature and the demands
for appropriate instructional materials substantiated that modular instruction is more
operative in teaching-learning method compared to conventional teaching approaches.
The results indicated that modular approach supports in increasing the possibility of
student involvement in accomplishing the assigned tasks on the spot. Hence, modules
had effectively and efficiently assisted students in learning Mythology and Folklore. It
was further stated that teachers should be provided with sufficient training to strategize
and implement modules in a classroom setting.

3. Paspasan (2015) confirmed in a study titled “Structured Module vs. Self-Paced
Modular Approach in Teaching Trigonometry” that self-passed modular approach
helped improved students’ level of performance in relation to plane trigonometry
regardless of their mathematical abilities compared to the structured approach.
Students’ learning styles become more independent through SPMA since they prefer to
work at their own pace. Additionally, Mathematics teachers were advised to employ
collective learning style inventories in designing class delivery approaches to diverse
student learning preferences within the framework of the module.

4. The study of Dangle & Sumaoang (2020) revealed the challenges encountered
by teachers, parents, and students that emerged in the implementation of Modular
Distance Learning. In conclusion, the study was able to confirm the prevailing
challenges of the participants in terms of resources, preparedness, and communication.

5. Naboya (2019) concluded that modular approach is more effective than conventional methods
in teaching Inorganic Chemistry. Reading comprehension moderates the effect of the teaching method
on students’ achievement levels in Inorganic Chemistry. Furthermore, modules are differentiated
depending on the learning needs and learning styles of students. Thus, modular instruction is based on
the principle that students learn best when they constructively engaged themselves and take control on
the learning process.

chemistry. Journal of International Academic Research for Multidisciplinary, 7(1), 36-55.
6. Aksan (2021) on the study about the effectiveness of modular distance learning approach in
learning Mathematics revealed that the academic performances of STEM students did not depend on
their perceptions on MDLA when grouped by gender and age.
