Radio-based Instructions in the New Normal: Basis for a Proposed Innovative Workplan

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the education sector, prompting schools to adopt alternative modes of instruction for continuous learning. Radio-based instructions have emerged as a viable option, particularly for students in remote or underserved areas with limited internet access. This study examines the effectiveness and feasibility of radio-based instructions as an educational mode during the pandemic. Quantitative data were collected from 207 students across various schools implementing RBI in S.Y. 2021-2022. The findings indicate a high level of effectiveness in RBI, with students' performance being deemed very satisfactory. The study proposes a workplan to enhance the delivery and overall effectiveness of RBI, recommending that school principals adopt these measures for improved educational outcomes in the new normal.
