Abstract
This study was conducted to determine the lived experiences of parents and teachers in the retrieval and distribution system in an elementary school in the Philippines with five (5) parent-respondents and five (5) teacher respondents for school year 2021-2022. The study employed phenomenological research design in which data gathering instrument used was the validated interview guide questionnaire. During the conduct of the interview, series of themes were formed both on the teachers and parents’ aspect as they shared their experiences during the distribution and retrieval of modules. The challenges and problems experienced by the parents and teachers in modular distribution and retrieval are identified as additional themes. The findings showed that the lived experiences of the teachers shared the same sentiment that in this set-up, it was difficult to address the needs of the learners immediately due to insufficient teaching materials and geographic location. Meanwhile, the parent-participants responses showed that they struggled as they had to leave work and chores to be at school for the distribution and retrieval of modules. The module distribution and retrieval made the parents understand the job of a teacher. It also helped teachers develop intrapersonal skills and grow professionally, become considerate, flexible, patient in every situation and the need for cooperation between parents and teachers.
Keywords: lived experiences, module distribution and retrieval, phenomological, parents and teacher
