GUIDING OUR TEACHERS: A Briefer on Using the MAPEH MELCs

The Process

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic and the consequent shortened academic year, the Department of Education, through the Bureau of Curriculum
Development, Curriculum Standards Development Division, has produced a list of the most essential learning competencies (MELCs). This was done in order to
ensure that the grade level standards, along with the corresponding content and performance standards set for each learning area are still attained. In the process of
identifying the MELCs, the ENDURANCE criterion was used as the sole determiner. Guided by the requirement that a learning competency (LC) be useful in lifelong
learning, the group of specialists in-charge of the MAPEH curriculum recognizes the role of the subject in providing the physical, health, and cultural literacies, artistic
expression, skills necessary in acquiring the knowledge, and values to live a more meaningful life. Further, the MELCs identified are those that work in close
association with other competencies in other subjects, thus maintaining the curricular quality of integration.

How to Use the MELCs

The MELCs serve as a reference to assist the teachers in identifying the most important learning competencies to be developed/acquired by the learners and must be
prioritized in this crisis situation.

MELCs with (*) are rephrased and deemed essential learning competencies in the achievement of content and performance standards. For example:
