LESSON 1: BACKGROUND, RATIONALE, AND DEVELOPMENT OF MELCS

ANSWER:
1. Based on our LAC and what I comprehend. Students advance upon achieving
mastery. Competencies include explicit, measurable, transferable learning objectives that empower
students. Assessment is meaningful and a positive learning experience for students. Students
receive timely, differentiated support based on their individual learning needs.
2. STEP 1: IDENTIFY KEY CONCEPTS & SKILLS
Identify what students need to know and what they need to do. We like to highlight nouns (content) in
blue and verbs (skills) in green.
STEP 2: IDENTIFY LEARNING TARGET TYPES
Next, you’ll determine which concepts are content/knowledge targets, reasoning/cognitive targets,
skill/performance targets, and product targets.
STEP 3: DETERMINE BIG IDEAS
The next step is to list the conceptual understandings that students discover during the learning
process (the ah-ha! moments).
STEP 4: WRITE ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS
To focus and guide classroom instruction and assessment, write open-ended questions to help
stimulate student interest and make new connections.
3. YES, all MELCs need to unpacked or combined because there are some pre-requisite skill
students need to do or apply. Aside from that, it should be align on the learning competency
given by Deped.
