Master's Thesis from the year 2023 in the subject Pedagogy - Media Pedagogy, language: English, abstract: In this 21st century world, the teaching and learning environment has put forth a number of innovations and some of these involve the use of technology through distance learning. Contrary to a generally accepted observation, Clark (2020) argues that distance education is not a very new model of education. As cited in Sari and Nayor (2020), the emergence of distance education applications dates back to about 300 years. One of the first known applications is weekly lessons delivered to students in the USA via mail. As well as countries such as England, Switzerland, and Australia have provided distance education with different tools (mail, radio, television etc.) years ago due to geographically dispersed and sparse population distribution. This study is a descriptive-correlational research which examined the significant difference between the extent of use of distance learning and self-regulation learning skills and its effect to the demographic profile of the teacher-participants in public elementary schools in the District of Alfonso Cavite. Specifically, the study reported the demographic profile of the teacher-participants in terms of: age, sex, civil status, the highest educational attainment and length of years in teaching; examined the extent of use of distance learning in terms of: Access, Interaction, Response and Results; level of the students' self-regulation learning skills in terms of: goal setting, environment structuring, task strategies, time management, help-seeking and self-evaluation; and investigated the significant difference among these variables' extent of use of distance learning and level of students' self-regulation learning skills when grouped according to demographic profile: and determine as well as the significant difference between the extent of use of distance learning and level of students' self-regulation learning skills.
