LESSON 1: BACKGROUND, RATIONALE, AND DEVELOPMENT OF MELC
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?
 The crisis brought about by the COVID-19 has posted a lot of challenges for the
Department of Education especially to the teachers who are standing in the front line to
provide the continuity in education. As a teacher, I believe that narrowing down the learning
competencies has become a huge factor in order to deliver only the most essential in this
time of pandemic. However, one of the major concerns to ensure that learning continues is
the implementation process itself. Given the shortage of resources, schools, teachers, and
the community itself are finding means to bridge the gap.
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?
 I totally agree to this. The purpose of the curriculum is solely to achieve a higher standard
of education and to produce competitive learners. But due to its congested nature, students
cannot cope up with it and more often than not, teachers find it hard and time consuming to
teach all these competencies which seem to be repetitive and redundant resulting to poor
performance of the learners as well as the teachers.

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?
 The MELC is developed to allow students to study based on their abilities to learn skills or
competencies at their own pace. This method is tailored to meet different learning levels that
can lead to efficient learning outcomes through alternative learning delivery modalities.
2. What is the difference between essential learning competencies and desirable learning
competencies?
 Essential Learning Competencies were defined as what the students need
considered indispensable in the teaching learning process to build skills to equip for
subsequent grade level while Desirable Learning Competencies were defined as
what may enhance education but may not be necessary in building foundational skills.
3. 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?
 The MELCs were identified according to the gaps, issues and concerns across learning
areas and grade levels. The decisions were made due to the limited number of school
days and the absence of face-to-face instructions at this time of pandemic. Hence,
narrowing down the learning competencies is the best option the DepEd has come up
with.
4. What is the importance of the MELCs in ensuring the delivery of quality instruction?
 The MELCs are made aligned with the national/local standards, applicable to real-life
and are the most essential competencies that students are expected to learn despite this
pandemic. The Department of Education has made sure that with limited resources,
time, and the absence of face-to-face instructions, learners would still get the the
necessary competencies the need to acquire through these MELCs.

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
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?

 By unpacking and combining the MELCs, we now have a clear path forward. This gives up a deeper
understanding on how these MELCs are selected. It will be much helpful for us to plan on how are
we going to implement our LCP more efficiently.
2. What considerations must be taken in unpacking and combining the MELCs? Explain each.
Things to consider in unpacking MELC Things to consider in combining MELC
Alignment on the content and - Commonality of content, topic or theme
performance standards. - Alignment with the content and standard.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Logical Sequence of learning objectives
3. Do all the MELCs need to be unpacked or combined? Why or why not

 Of course, unpacking the MELCs are essential in order to have a systematic learning
activity so that the competencies needed by the learners are not congested or repetitive.

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.

REFLECTION
As We continue with our LAC Session. We found out that we have different understanding/ interpretation
with regards to unpacking of MELCs but of course through some series of presentation, discussion and exchanging of
ideas we came up with the right understanding on how unpack and combine MELC.
