CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTIONS

Conclusively, Modular Teaching is self-contained, self-sufficient form of teaching in which the learner struggles to achieve the learning outcomes of the module or planned activity by the teacher. It is time-consuming and expensive but very effective and innovative. With the proper instructions, students will be able to self-study, be independent and develop problem-solving and critical thinking skills. A suggestion would be to go to a public library or computer lab if there’s a lack of facilities in the school.
