MODULE 2: MOST ESSENTIAL LEARNING
COMPETENCIES (MELCs)
After having been introduced to the course in Module 1,
you will now begin this course by gaining an
understanding of the Most Essential Learning
Competencies (MELCs). We hope that you will be able to
strengthen your understanding through this Module.
In this Module, the development of the MELCs will be
discussed, and how these can be unpacked and combined
in planning and designing your lessons.
By the end of this lesson, you should be able to familiarize yourself with the
background, rationale, and development of MELCs. In this session, you will be able to:
1. identify the background and basic process of the identification and development of
the MELCs
2. make sense of the function of MELCs as an educational response to a global
health crisis
3. appreciate the MELCs as support for teachers during this time

Key Topics/Concepts
curriculum standards; essential learning competencies; desirable learning
competencies; enduring knowledge

Resources Required
3 Development and Design of MELCs

 3 Your learning area’s original K-12 Curriculum Guide and corresponding list of
MELCs
3 Study Notebook
ACTIVITY 1
 Answer the following reflective questions in your Study Notebook:

1. The closure of schools around the world due to the global pandemic posed
serious challenges on the delivery of quality basic education. As a teacher,
what do you think are the fundamental concerns in terms of curriculum
standards that need to be addressed in order to ensure learning continuity?
Cite a specific example. Do you think these concerns could be solved by
teachers alone? Why or why not?
2. Even prior to the spread of COVID-19 that eventually led to the closure of
schools nationwide, the congested curriculum has been a perennial problem
of teachers (Andaya, 2018). This is perceived to be one of the hindering
factors on the poor performance of Filipino learners. Do you agree with this
observation? Why or why not?
ACTIVITY 2
 Familiarize yourself with the course reading on the Development and Design of the
MELCs. After going through the document, provide a brief and concise response to
the following guide questions. Write your answers in your Study Notebook.

1. What are the general and specific purposes of the development of MELCs?

2. How does curriculum review aid in the identification of essential learning


competencies?
3. What is the difference between essential learning competencies and desirable
learning competencies?
4. How were the most essential learning competencies identified? What were
the decisions made in order to trim down the number of the essential learning
competencies further?
5. What is the importance of the MELCs in ensuring the delivery of quality
instruction?
ACTIVITY 3.

Prepare a copy of your learning area’s original K-12 Curriculum Guide and corresponding list of
MELCs.
Go to the sections of the curriculum guide and MELCs that are relevant to your instructional
needs. Copy and accomplish the following table in your Study Notebook and compare
the two documents to determine which learning competencies were retained, dropped, or
merged.

K to 12 Learning
Competencies MELCs

Merged/Clustered

Retained
n/a
Dropped
ACTIVITY 4
 In your LAC Session, discuss and share your
answers to Activities 1-3 in this lesson. Discuss
any questions about the MELCs that need
clarification as well. Share your thoughts and let
your co-teachers articulate their insights
regarding your questions. Jot down all the
insights shared in the discussion, including
your own, in your Study Notebook.
Good job! You are now done with Lesson
1. Proceed to Lesson 2 to learn how to
unpack and combine the MELCs into
Learning Objectives.
LESSON 2: UNPACKING AND COMBINING MELCS INTO
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
 In this session, you will familiarize yourself with unpacking and combining MELCs into
Learning Objectives. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to:
1. understand the vital considerations in unpacking and combining MELCs
2. unpack and combine sample MELCs

3. affirm that unpacking and combining MELCs provide curricular flexibilities to field
implementers

 Key Topics/Concepts
 unpack; curriculum standards; essential learning competencies; content standards;
performance standards

 Resources Required
 3 Unpacking and Combining the MELCs
 3 Your learning area’s original K-12 Curriculum Guide and corresponding list of MELCs
 3 Study Notebook
ACTIVITY
1
 Familiarize yourself with the course reading on Unpacking
and Combining the MELCs. After reading the document,
provide a brief and concise response to the following guide
questions in your Study Notebook:

1.What is the importance of unpacking and combining the


MELCs?
2.What considerations must be taken in unpacking and
combining the MELCs? Explain each.
3.Do all the MELCs need to be unpacked or combined? Why
or why not?
ACTIVITY 2
1. Form a group of four members within your LAC, preferably with fellow teachers
in your respective learning area.
2. Using the curriculum guide and a list of the MELCs, choose MELCs in the first
quarter and unpack these into learning objectives.
3. Each team will present their unpacked learning objectives. Discussion and
processing will follow each presentation. Suggestions and insights from each
group will be considered in enhancing the learning objectives.

 Repeat the above process but instead of unpacking, each team will now combine at
least two MELCs of their choice. Group deliberation will be observed in order to
arrive at a consensus. Discuss and jot down the synthesis of the presentations in
your Study Notebook.
ACTIVITY 3

Submit your Activity 2 Outputs to


your LAC Leader. Make sure to keep
a copy of your outputs.
Congratulations! You have completed Module 2. You
may now proceed to Module 3A - Lesson Design and
Assessment in the Modalities.
