VILLACORTE III Department of Education Abstract Distance learning is not a new modality in delivering education, it is already used as an alternative to learners whose circumstances make attending regularly to school difficult. Module-based alternative delivery modality (ADM) is the most commonly used for learners having difficulty attending regular classes at schools. This is also used by the Alternative Learning System (ALS) which caters to out-of-school children and youth who would like to pursue education despite their circumstances. Specifically, the BE-LCP of DepEd defines distance learning as a learning delivery modality where learning takes place between the teacher and learners who are geographically remote from each other during instruction and is comprised of different modes, namely modular distance learning, online distance learning, and tv/radio-based instruction. In this study, the main purpose to find out the perception of TVL-ICT Grade 12 Macintosh Students on the implementation of Modular Distance Learning in the Leyte National High School amidst Covid-19 Pandemic, S.Y. 2021-2022. The study focused on the perception of TVL-ICT students of Grade 12 Macintosh on the implementation of modular distance learning modality. The study was conducted at the Leyte National High School, Schools Division of Tacloban City.
