Abstract

Education
Modular Distance Learning, Mathematics Education, Teacher Agency, Critical Realism, Pedagogical Content Knowledge, Educational Policy Reform
The global shift toward remote teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated long-standing structural inequities between education systems, particularly in the Global South. In the Philippines, the emergence of Modular Distance Learning (MDL) as the dominant modality in digitally marginalized regions posed acute pedagogical challenges to mathematics instruction. Given these realities, the study investigates how secondary mathematics teachers navigated, adapted to, and reimagined MDL amid serious systemic constraints. Employing a critical realist stance and invigorated by concepts from Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) and Resilience Theory, the study utilized a qualitative phenomenology design to capture the experiences of ten teachers (in both urban and rural contexts) through interviews, focus groups and document analysis of their curricular artefacts. The findings showed that while MDL caused a disruption of instructional continuity, diminished any credibility regarding assessment, and undermined the emotional sustainability of mathematics instruction, it generated local innovations based on teachers' experiences of grief, instantiate an affective pedagogy focusing on the well-being of students and created possibilities for collaborators to collectively cultivate resilience. Teachers took opportunities to strategically simplify, contextualize course materials, care ethically and think outside-the-box. By doing so, teachers reframed MDL as a site for professional agency rather than being subjected to it passively without any sense of ownership. In theoretical terms, the study posits teacher voice as a form of epistemic resistance, and speaks to the urgent need for decolonial debates on educational governance. Practically, the study calls for policy architectures related to MDL that promote the decentralization of governance processes, the legitimization of emotional labour, and the immediate institution of differentiated professional development. The findings presented resonate with larger political conversations regarding educational equity, state accountability, and educational moral economies, particularly in crisis. By putting forward a set of reforms developed by teachers in response to their experiences, the study is intended to provide a grounded, context sensitive take on modular pedagogies that reject technocratic solutions and reinscribe care, community, and contextual justice to mathematics education.
