Summary
The Author Maylen Q.Pedragoza wrote an Action research entitled “Learner Support in
the Utilization of Self Learning Module for TLE Specializations: Effective Tool for Continuous
Learning Amidst Pandemic” an was published on February 2021 at Research Gate.net.publication.
This study was conducted to propose a solution to the challenges posited by modular distance
learning to the students and teachers of Technology and Livelihood Education Specializations of
Sta. Anastacia-San Rafael National High School. The instruments used in this study are focus group
observations for respondent feelings, reactions, attitudes, and experiences; interviews as to
collect data not covered by observations; and descriptive survey method using questionnaire
checklist to gather pertinent data. Percentage formulae and weighted mean were utilized to
describe the demographic profile and to weight every indicator as selected in the variable. The
specific objectives of this research were to: (1) Identify the roles assume by the Learners Support
to help TLE students actively engage in self-learning module. (2) Enumerate the functions laid

CRITIQUE
This paper will be relevance to the researchers and scholars who are conducting a
study related to Effective Tool for Continuous Learning Amidst Pandemic. The researcher used
Slovin’s formula to determine the sample size of the entire population. Due to the large
population it is not realistic to get a response from everyone, so the researcher chooses the right
sampling technique to represent the entire population. My positive comment to this research is
first: the researcher shows the computation on how to get the sample size to indication the
transparency and validity of the sample size. Second: Action Research Work Plan and Timelines
were shown for the reference or guidance of the readers on how the action research was
conducted. Third: The researcher attached the Instrument of the study in the article for the
reference of the future or other researcher. Third
