MODULE 2

Lesson 1
Activity 1
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 spec for example. Do you think these concerns
could be solved by teachers alone? Why or why not?
Answer:
Secretary Leonora Briones quoted that “Education must continue in the midst of the Corona Virus
Crisis” which she stressed that our call as teacher remains the same. Whether it is virtual or face
to face as long as we should not overlook the fundamental concerns in terms of curriculum
standards that needs to be fulfil for us to give quality education and to ensure learning continuity.
These concerns should be relevant in our real life situation for the learners to acquire knowledge
like in primary level where they ought to strengthen their reading and comprehension skills. In
order to support this, there should be a religious reinforcement between the parents and the
teacher for the successful application of this distance learning modality.

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?
Answer:

Yes, and I would like to speak about the burden in finishing the lesson every end of the quarter
which we always notice with such limited time in teaching learning process. Therefore, the
teacher should have a stiff mastery in learning the competency for him/her able to continue the
lesson in a smooth way.

Activity 2
1. What are the general and specific purposes of the development of MELCs?
-The Department of Education's Bureau of Curriculum Development developed MELCs to
cope with the drastic change in the educational atmosphere due to Covid 19 pandemic.
The focus of instruction were streamlined to the most essential or the most indispensable
learning competencies.
Answer:
-MELCs is also established in response to UNESCO's fourth sustainable development goal and
that is to improve resilient education systems, most especially during emergencies.
-MELCs can be castoff as an instrument to guarantee education continuity.
2. How does curriculum review aid in the identification of essential learning
competencies?
Answer:

-Analysis of the Interconnectedness of prerequisite knowledge and skills among the learning
competencies for each subject area.
-Curriculum review mapped the essential and desirable learning competencies within the
curriculum. It also led to the identification of gaps, issues, and concerns within and across
learning areas and grade levels. It helped in the identification of areas for improvement that would
enhance the learning engagement, experience, and outcomes and consequently recommend
solutions. In addition, it analyse the interconnectedness of prerequisite knowledge and skills
among the learning competencies for each subject area.
4. Now 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?
Answer:
Learning competencies are identified by knowing the following characteristics.
-it is applicable to real-life situations
-it would be important for students to acquire the competency after s/he left that particular grade
level
--it is aligned with national, state, and/or local standards/ frameworks (e.g., scientifically-literate
Filipinos)
-it would not be expected that most students would learn this through their parents/communities if
not taught at school
-it connects the content to higher concepts across content areas
5. What is the importance of the MELCs in ensuring the delivery of quality instruction?
Answer:
-MELCS serves as a teacher guides in preparing our lesson (weekly home learning plan) and
instructional materials (Self- Learning Modules)
-MELCs ensure delivery of quality instruction as it becomes the primary reference in determining
and implementing learning delivery approaches that are suited to the local context and diversity of
learners while adapting to the challenges posed by COVID-19.
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 and compare the two
documents to determine which learning competencies were retained, dropped, or merged.

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.
Insights:
Answer:
There should be a full collaborative between the teacher and the parent for this Learning
Modality simulated properly. Wherein the both sides must be open to whatever difficulties they
will be facing along the way.

Lesson 2
Activity 1
1. What is the importance of unpacking and combining the MELCs?

Answer:
-We need to unpacked MELCS to help us systematize learning activities and effectively
address the varying needs of learners and the challenges of instructional deliveries.
 2. What considerations must be taken in unpacking and combining the MELCs?
Explain each.

Answer:

In unpacking MELCs we must consider the following:

-Alignment on the Content and Performance Standards- the MELCS are not departure
from the standard-based design. We must consider this to achieve a quality teaching
output.
-Prerequisite knowledge and skills - curriculum objective must be hierarchy. Mastering
Fundamental knowledge Is a must before going to the other level of learning.
-Logical sequence of learning objectives - We can’t give better learning ideas to our
students if our objective is not logical sequence. Planning what are the most important
objective is key frame in achieving better understanding of our learners.
3. Do all the MELCs need to be unpacked or combined? Why or why not?
Answer:
-The teacher may unpacked or combined the MELCS depends on sequence of the lesson,
the progress and needs of learners as long as the content and standard will be achieved.

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

Activity 3
Submit your Activity 2 output to your LAC leader. Make sure to keep a copy of your
outputs.
