Abstract :
Covid-19 has a broad global impact that may be observed in almost every sector, including health, economics, and education. However, despite challenges, most countries have decided to continue their education in various ways. In Narra National High School, Modular Distance Learning is the main modality adopted by the school. This study was conducted to evaluate the extent of efficacy of modular distance learning in Science as viewed by learners and teachers. The results revealed that the level of effectiveness of modular distance modality of learning in Science as perceived by the students and teachers is somewhat effective. It is found out also that most of the students encountered challenges such as some modules are difficult to read and to answer because of very small fonts, some pages are not properly arranged, and more than half of the teachers encountered the difficulty of reproducing modules because they do not have a printer to use. Results further revealed no significant difference between the perception of students and teachers on the level of effectiveness of modular distance modality of learning Science.
