LEARNING COMPETENCIES
(MELCs)
10/15/2016 Denzel Mathew 1
After having been introduced to the
course in Module 1, we will now
begin this course by gaining an
understanding of the Most Essential
Learning Competencies (MELCs). We
hope that we will be able to
strengthen our understanding
through this Module.

Background on the Identification
of MELCs
In determining criteria for the selection of the MELCs,
the Department collaborated with stakeholders from
Assessment Curriculum and Technology Research
centre (ACTRC), during which the descriptor –
ENDURANCE – was considered the primary
determining factor. A learning competency is
considered enduring if it remains with the learners
long after a test or unit of study is completed or if it is
useful beyond a single test or unit of study.
10/15/2016 Denzel Mathew 28
Initiated by Secretary Leonor Magtolis
Briones, the K to 12 curriculum, review
is not just meant to fulfill one of the
provisions of Republic Act (RA) 105333
to review the curriculum, but is also
part of her commitment to ensure
quality, relevant and liberating
education for all.
10/15/2016 Denzel Mathew 29
The review focuses on articulation within and
across learning areas to identify gaps, issues and
concerns across learning and grade levels.
Specifically, the review covers the following:
Mapping of the essential and desirable learning
competencies within the curriculum;
Identification of prerequisite knowledge and skills
needed to prepare students for essential learning
competencies; and
Analysis of the interconnectedness of prerequisite
knowledge and skills among the learning
competencies for each subject area.
10/15/2016 Denzel Mathew 30
Essential learning competencies are
defined as what the students need,
considered indispensable, in the
teaching-learning process to building
skills to equip learners for subsequent
grade levels and subsequently, for
lifelong learning.
10/15/2016 Denzel Mathew 31
Characteristics of an Essential Learning
Competency
1. It is aligned with national and/or local
standards/frameworks (eg: “ scientifically literate
Filipinos”).
2. It concerns the content to higher concepts across
content areas.
3. It is applicable to real-life situations.
4. If students leave school, it would still be important for
them to have this competency above many others.
5. It would not be expected for most students to learn
this in settings other than through the formal
education.

Lesson 2: UNPACKING AND COMBINING
MELCS INTO LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Outline
• Introduction
• Unpacking MELCs
• Combining the MELCs
• Summary
10/15/2016 Denzel Mathew 42
Introduction
The identification of
MELCs intends to
provide instructional
space among field
partners/implementers
to deliver quality
instruction amidst the
limited learning
modalities and
shortening of the
school year.
10/15/2016 Denzel Mathew 43
MELCs does not confine teachers in
navigating peculiarities of the learning
landscape.
10/15/2016 Denzel Mathew 44
Unpacking of MELCs
Just like in the pre-COVID years, you
are highly encouraged to unpack the
curriculum standards into learning
objectives through the MELCs, in order
to systematize learning activities and
effectively address the varying needs
of learners and the challenges of
instructional deliveries.
10/15/2016 Denzel Mathew 45
In unpacking the MELCs into learning
objectives, you need to consider the
following:
L Logical sequence of learning outcomes
A Alignment of content and performance standards
P Prerequisite knowledge and skills

Combining MELCs
The MELCs could likewise be combined to
observe efficiency in the development of
learning resources, which include but are not
limited to SLMs, textbooks, teacher’s guides,
activity sheets, and television and radio
scripts.
10/15/2016 Denzel Mathew 51
In combining MELCs, field
implementers should take note of
the following criteria:
1. Commonality of content, topic, or
theme
2. Alignment with the Content and
Performance Standards
10/15/2016 Denzel Mathew 52

Summary
• Identify the things we should consider
when we unpack MELCs into learning
objectives.
• Identify criteria when combining MELCs.
