Abstract :
School administrators are considered the most
influential person in the school. This study determined
the lived experiences of school administrators in the
implementation of modular distance learning. This study
utilized phenomenological design and transcendental
phenomenology. This study was conducted in elementary
schools from district one to ten of the Division of Ozamiz
City. The researcher collected the data from the school
administrators of Division of Ozamiz City. There were 30
participants in the study. The participants were identified
and selected through purposive sampling. A researchermade interview guide was the research instrument used
in the study. This study used Moustakas’ transcendental
phenomenology of data analysis using NVivo software
where codes and categories were extracted to form
themes. Findings revealed the following themes:
implementing the health safety protocols properly in the
school, coordinating with the local government and other
stakeholders on the activities in school, providing resources
for the modular distance learning, monitoring the teachers
in the implementation of MDL, and committing work for
public service. The school administrators had experiences
during the implementation of the modular distance
learning. They were able to collaborate with teachers to
assist their children in their lessons as well as give them
parental advises. Full supports were given to schools from
the division office as well as from the internal and
external stakeholders during the implementation of the
modular distance learning. The school heads continue
with their additional preparations for the modular
distance learning and establish linkage with the local
government unit to ensure safety of all the teachers and
staff in the school. Be the role model in the
implementation of MDL, and provide learning resources
that support the MDL preparations.
