Abstract
The purpose of the study was to determine the challenges of grade five learners, also aimed to examine the relationship between the challenges of grade five learners to their academic performance using modular learning modality. Sixty Learners from the six sections of grade five of Balo-i Central Elementary School were chosen as the respondent of the study, convenient sampling technique was used. Data were drawn from the survey questionnaire and assessment tools. Statistical tools using Weighted Mean and Standard deviation was used to describe the respondent’s level of challenges to Grade 5 learners in using modular learning and Pearson Product Moment Correlation was used to determine the significant relationship between the level of challenges to Grade 5 learners in modular learning modality and their academic performance. Result of the study revealed that there is a significant relationship between the challenges encountered by the grade V pupils to their academic performance. Furthermore, challenges encountered by the grade V pupils did affect their academic performance. Thus, the study inferred that the respondents’ level of challenges encountered using modular learning modality play significant to their academic performance. Hence, it is hereby recommended that the proposed orientation program be implemented.
