... 2. presents the challenges encountered by the senior high school students studying English under the modular distance approach. Table 2 discloses the challenges experienced by the senior high school students tackling English subjects under the modular distance modality. Their challenges were the learners' intrinsic and extrinsic motivation specifically rooted from being unmotivated and lacking parental support in tackling their learning difficulty; learners' learning preferences and time management specifically identifying their lack of time management technique; learning environment at home that shows unstable network connection and inability to allocate specific time for school work and chores; and learners' difficulty in learning English that shows difficulty in understanding and comprehending lessons in English subjects. ...Citations

For teacher and family support: The constant communication, assistance, monitoring, and encouragement of teachers and family members are crucial for students' academic success in MDL (Ariza & Ariza, 2021;Aguilar et al., 2022;Besonia & Magnate, 2022;Boholano et al., 2022;Butial et al., 2022;Espina & Monte, 2022;Friales et al., 2022;Gueta & Janer, 2021;Kitongan & Gutierrez, 2022;Llames, 2021;Paco et al., 2021;Palad, 2022;Pura & Galicia, 2022;Roman, 2021;. Similarly, as implied in various studies, family members, particularly the parents, must ensure that students focus on completing their modules' tasks by eliminating learning distractors such as doing household chores (Ariza & Ariza, 2021;Aguilar et al., 2022;Besonia & Magnate, 2022;Espina & Monte, 2022;Friales et al., 2022;Kitongan & Gutierrez, 2022;Llames, 2021;Meniano & Tan, 2022), video gaming and social media (Gueta & Janer, 2021;Meniano & Tan, 2022) and the incommodious background noises (Gueta & Janer, 2021;Kitongan & Gutierrez, 2022;Locion et al., 2022;Meniano & Tan, 2022). ...

... Time Blocking is a time management technique that helps students to schedule and plan learning activities by blocking certain time slots so that more learning activities will be completed more quickly and increase productivity. Time preference when using the time blocking technique is seen as a promising alternative solution to help students learn (Espina & Monte, 2022). ...

Implementing modular distance learning (MDL) in the Philippines remains problematic. We review studies on printed MDL to create themes for its enhanced implementation. A meta-synthesis of qualitative studies was executed, and a comprehensive search in Google Scholar was conducted. A thematic synthesis was performed, revealing the four presences to enhance the implementation of printed MDL, such as: structural; community; intervention; and quality assurance. The structural presence underscores module designs that can capture students' interests and learning, as well as module content that can articulate curricular learning competencies and students' context, needs, and situations. The community presence highlights that education in the MDL is not the sole responsibility of students. Contrary to the common idea that MDL is about providing modules for students to study independently, MDL is everyone's responsibility. The family members and teachers, as well as community members and sectors, have roles to play and must work together to produce more desirable learning outcomes. The intervention presence emphasizes instructional and socio-emotional support to help students overcome academic and personal difficulties and foster a positive and supportive learning atmosphere. Quality assurance presence highlights the systematic actions in the planning, development, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation processes to ensure the MDL's quality implementation and continuous improvement. The provision of quality includes meeting stakeholders' needs and conforming to desired outcomes or standards. Hence, education officials may adopt the identified presences for the orientation and training activities to enhance the implementation of MDL.
... Undeniably, COVID-19 pandemic created a situation that adversely affected students' learning motivation and learning environment for the past two school years (Baticulon et al., 2020;Fabito et al., 2020;Barrot et al., 2021;Hidalgo et al., 2021;Salazar et al., 2021;Aguilar, 2021;Espina & Monte, 2022).

... As the Philippines transitioned and retained both online learning and modular learning setup for the past two years, students across the country faced numerous concerns that arise as they continue their education during the pandemic. Their concerns range from internet connections issues and technological literacy to difficulty in comprehending and accomplishing academic requirements (Fabito et al., 2020;Barrot et al., 2021;Salazar et al., 2021;Jaca, 2022;Espina & Monte, 2022;Manalo et al., 2022;Meniano & Tan, 2022). The lack of conducive learning space, as well as the presence of distractions in their environment was exposed as an impor-tant concern to be addressed (Fabito et al., 2020;Barrot et al., 2021;Aguilar et al., 2021). ...
... Among male students, Pagaddu (2021) reported that the inability to multitask and properly manage their time led to higher odds of committing plagiarism. Nevertheless, the lack of proper time management in managing their studies was well-documented (Barrot et al., 2021;Jaca, 2022;Manalo et al., 2022;Meniano & Tan, 2022;Espina & Monte, 2022). In terms of online examination, time pressure was reported to cause students to commit cheat and attain passing scores (Revilla & Libre, 2022). ...
As the Philippines welcomes its new school year, academic dishonesty remains a prevalent concern in the academe. To provide an overview of the situation, this review paper was developed with the goal of presenting current information about academic dishonesty through 1) identification of influencing factors and 2) application of current approaches to academic dishonesty. Utilizing review of existing literature, this study described possible internal (laziness or procrastination, lack of proper time management, fear of failure, poor learning capability, motivation, state of mental health, self-attitude, capability, and intention) and external influencing factors (peer involvement, overwhelming academic workload, difficulty of subject/course, limited assistance of teachers, parental expectations, and use of digital technology) and current approaches to academic dishonesty (deterrence theory, rational choice theory, neutralization theory, planned behavior theory, as ignorance or confusion on teacher’s expectations, as learned behavior, and as coping strategy to the stressful environment) that will serve as a reference point for researchers in investigating the extent of academic dishonesty in the country. The findings revealed here can assist teachers, school administrators, and policymakers in crafting more effective solutions to limit or eliminate any forms of academic dishonesty within educational institutions.
