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?
Ans: With this global pandemic we have today, this make education for children more difficult
to achieve. This also brings a big challenge to the Department of education to conduct
education in this new normal situation. The best way to address the problem is adapt this new
normal learning by shifting to distance or modular learning. With this strategy, we can ensure
learning continuity. This concerns are not for teachers alone but also with the collaboration of
all the deped forces teaching and non-teaching staff. And of course through parents’ learners
and stake holders support.
2. Even prior to the spread of COVID-19 that eventually led to the closure of schools
nationwide, the congested curriculum has been a perenrial 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?
Ans: Yes, I agree, in the department of education several curriculums had been laid and adapt
for the purpose of achieving higher standard education and can produce a globally competitive
learner. But due to the congested curriculum we cant achieve our goals. Students cant cope up
with the content standard sometimes it takes time to finish a full quarter subject with a limited
time allotment.
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.
-MELCs is also developed in response to UNESCO's fourth sustainable development goal and
that is to develop resilient education systems, most especially during emergencies.
-MELCs can be used as a mechanism to ensure education continuity.
-the MELCs intend to assist schools in navigating the limited number of school days as they
employ multiple delivery schemes by providing them ample instructional space
2. How does curriculum review aid in the identification of essential learning competencies?
-Analysis of the Interconnectedness of prerequisite knowledge and skills among the learning
competencies for each sub)ect 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?
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?
-MELCS serves as a teacher guides in preparing our lesson (weekly home learning plan) and
instructional materials (Self- Learning Modules)
-MELCs ensures 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

Activity 1
1. What Is the importance of unpacking and combining the MELCs?
-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.

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 cant give a 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?
-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 teacher's 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
