Module 2
PART 1: PREPARING TO TEACH IN THE LDM
MOST ESSENTIAL LEARNING COMPETENCIES
After having been introduced to the course in Module 1, you will now begin this course by
gaining an understanding of the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELCs). We hope
that you will be able to strengthen your understanding through this Module. In this Module,
the development of the MELCs will be discussed, and how these can be unpacked and
combined in planning and designing your lessons.
MODULE OBJECTIVES
By the end of this Module, you will be able to:
1. explain the background and development of the MELCs
2. unpack the MELCs 3. combine related competencies into learning objectives
MODULE CONTENT
Lesson 1. Background, Rationale, and Development of MELCs
Lesson 2. Unpacking and Combining MELCs into Learning Objectives LAC Session

ESTIMATED TIME REQUIRED 3 hours
LAC Sessions are included in the activities but may be optional as determined by the LAC
members under the guidance of the LAC Leader
By the end of this lesson, you should be able to familiarize yourself with the background,
rationale, and development of MELCs. In this session, you will be able to:
1. identify the background and basic process of the identification and development of the
MELCs
2. make sense of the function of MELCs as an educational response to a global health
crisis
3. appreciate the MELCs as support for teachers during this time
Key Topics/Concepts:
Curriculum standards; essential learning competencies; desirable learning competencies;
enduring knowledge.

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?
As a teacher, I think the fundamental concerns in terms of curriculum
standards that need to be addressed in order to ensure learning continuity is in
the development and adaptation of new LDM’s as an educational reactive
response to the global situation that we are facing now – the COVID19
pandemic.
Having mentioned earlier of an educational reactive response to the
global situation in terms of curriculum standards, one specific example I can
site is technology. No doubt in DepEd’s seriousness in the learning continuity
despite pandemic. However, if it wanted to succeed, it shouldn’t only look at
upgrading and tailor it fit to the situation the curriculum but to assess also the
entire system which includes what we call in management the five M’s.
Money, Materials, Methods, Machines, and most importantly, Men. Just like a
plan, it can never be considered a good plan if an organization does not have
the resources to carry-out the plan or even if it has all the money, materials,
methods and machines but does not have an efficient and effective men to
carry-out the plans it cannot succeed. Thus, DepEd has to look into all these
aspects to achieve learning continuity in this pandemic situation.
Just like the human body which is composed of many parts to function,
the educational system is also composed of many parts. For learning to
continue in this pandemic or even after pandemic, the teacher being task to
deliver new learning modalities cannot solve the concerns alone. The
resiliency, strength, efficiency and effectiveness of the teacher being the
frontliner is dependent on the support of not only the entire educational system
but of the collaboration of all stakeholders especially the government including
parents.
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?
Yes, I agree with this observation. With the many learning
competencies/content standards jam-packed in a subject and sometimes are
also lessons subsumed in other learning competencies in another subject with a
very limited time to discuss the lesson plus the interruptions of meeting
deadlines form paper works and school activities, this led to some learning
competencies not being taught or are being skipped thus resulting to the poor
performance of the learners as well as the teachers.
ACTIVITY Familiarize yourself with the course reading on the Development and Design of

response to the following guide questions. Write your answers in your Study
Notebook.

Go to the sections of the curriculum guide and MELCs that are relevant
to your instructional needs. Copy and accomplish the following table in your
Study Notebook and compare the two documents to determine which learning
competencies were retained, dropped, or merged.

ACTIVITY In your LAC Session, discuss and share your answers to Activities 1-3 in this
4 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.
In our discussion we have the same opinion that its not easy to merged or categorized some
competencies in Mathematics. Every skills in every competencies is very important and missing
those skills will let learners be confused on the next lesson.
