Prior to the implementation of the K-12
Curriculum, learning resources for various ADMs
such as modules have been developed and were
proven effective as shown by various past
evaluations.
Furthermore, considering our fast changing
society, the ADM learning resources must help
students acquire the needed 21st century
skills. For these reasons, redeveloped learning
resources for ADM are necessary.

The learning resources for the K to 12
program are also used for ADMs. However, one
feature of ADM is flexible learning which allows the
learners to learn by considering their convenience
for time and or location. Hence, learning resources
although aligned to the curriculum, must be
designed in order to meet the needs and
circumstances of learners.
ADMs may require learning resources that are
designed for independent or self-paced study.
In view of this, a module is considered an
appropriate learning resource for ADM learners.

A module is a type of learning resource that is
essentially self-contained, self- instructional
package, with learning paced by the student
according to his or her individual needs and
ability (Ali, et.al, 2010).

Specifically, the target learners of ADMs are the following:
■late enrollees;
■working students;
■over age learners;
■marginalized learners;
■learners from a transient family;
■learners who are in conflict with law;
■learners with poor medical condition;
■learners whose residence is far from the school;
■victims from natural calamities and armed conflict;
■learners who need to take care of the siblings and do other household chores;
■learners who are on difficult circumstances (i.e early pregnancy, with family
problems/feuds; and
■learners who are affected by class suspensions because of natural hazard and/
or national/local celebrations.
