Abstract

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Division of Cagayan de Oro City encourages stakeholders to use TV and radio as supplementary learning resources to address literacy needs. The study examined the lesson design, opportunities, challenges, and school-based initiatives promoting supplementary learning resources. R&D and qualitative research methods were employed. Experts validated the created audio and video lessons by the division creative teams. The validation phases incorporated learning resource standards such as content and technical design. Document analysis and interviews yielded data. Findings revealed that partner stations could air the supplemental learning resources. The content and technical design requirements were met satisfactorily. The lessons were widely accepted, applicable, and useful by stakeholders and learners. With the help of the supplemental learning resources, learners could continue to improve their knowledge and skills even while learning remotely. The radio and television-based experiences of students, parents, and teachers are evident. Visual learners can watch television while auditory learners can listen to the radio. Communicating with stakeholders shows a commitment to the students' welfare, which is central to basic education..
