Abstract: This study aimed to present the perspective of senior high school students towards the use of modules and social media for remote learning and find out if there would be a significant difference in the student performance after the use of modules and social media. The modules were composed of a series of topics distributed to participants and were followed up with the users of social media, especially messenger and Facebook. The participants of the study were classified according to strand and grade levels: the HUMSS and STEM students who are grade 11 and 12 students. A total of 87 students participated in this study. Researchers created 15 items checklist form that is divided according to namely; Perceived Based on Usefulness of Module and Social Media, Perceived Student Self- Efficacy of Using Module and Social media, and Perceived Ease of Use of Module and Social Media was prepared and validated by the experts in subject matter for gathering data. The findings revealed that there was an increase in the performance of students in the pretest and post-test after the use of modules and follow-up through social media. T-test results revealed that there was a significant difference in the test scores of the students before and after using the module which can be used as a future reference for remote learning and as an additional teaching tool in physics.

I.INTRODUCTION
Last 2020, in the field of education, student academic life, as well as its learning environments, happens to change when the pandemic came and brought abrupt changes resulting in educational chaos that causes educational institutions to scramble to move classes to distance or remote learning. From “Ma’am, Prof. Teacher and Sir” to “Mama, Papa, Tita, Tito, Ate, and Kuya”. Learning will not be the same again for today’s generation of students thriving for their right to quality education.
