COMPETENCIES (MELCs)
LESSON 1: BACKGROUND, RATIONALE, AND DEVELOPMENT OF
MELCS

ACTIVITY 1.

Answer the following reflective questions in your Study Notebook:

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?
Answer. For me as a teacher, the best way to address this problem is to shift
to the modalities that are suited to the community where the teacher is
teaching like; distance or modular learning. Through this new curriculum
strategy, I can ensure that the learning of the pupils will not stop. I think these
concerns could not be solved by the teachers alone, but through the
collaboration of all DepEd teaching and non-teaching staff.
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?
Answer. Yes I agree, Based from my experience, there are competencies
in my subjects I am handling that I couldn’t tackle because of the congested
curriculum. Pupils couldn’t cope up with the content standard because of the
limited time allotment.

including your own, in your Study Notebook.

LESSON 2: UNPACKING AND COMBINING MELCS INTO LEARNING

OBJECTIVES

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.
