The Quality Elements of Flexible Learning: Basis for Localized Modular Development for Teachers and Students

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the quality elements of flexible learning to be used as basis for the development of a quality assured module and instructional videos in Data Management of Mathematics in the Modern World subject. It also investigated experiences in flexible learning, the quality elements, strengths, and weaknesses of the developed learning module and video recorded lectures, and the challenges encountered by mathematics teachers and students in flexible learning. This study utilized a mixed method of research design. Results showed that there are challenges and difficulties that need to be addressed because these might be the factors that hamper the attainment of quality of flexible learning beyond face-to-face learning. Further, the developed learning module and video-recorded lectures were much valid and much acceptable. However, there were identified strengths and weaknesses of the materials which were the bases in improving the materials to produce a quality assured module and instructional videos in Data Management. It is recommended that researchers study the implementation of flexible learning to the mathematics program and other programs in the curriculum and discover solutions to the challenges that might be encountered by the teachers and students in its implementation. The improvement of the quality of education through program enhancement could be achieved through this.
