Guide for Teachers in using the Kindergarten Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELCs)
The Department of Education, through the Bureau of Curriculum Development-Curriculum Standards Development Division, has developed the most essential
learning competencies (MELCs) to address the challenges brought about by the global pandemic. Its negative impacts in the educational system which include
but not limited to the shortened school year, limited face to face interaction of teachers and learners, and other instructional delivery-related concerns pose
serious problem most specifically to early childhood learners.
Thus, the MELCs ensure that that all five-year-old Filipino learners achieve the content and performance standards expected of them in various learning
domains. In the process of identifying the MELCs, the ENDURANCE criterion was used as the sole determiner. Endurance is defined as the learning competency
that remains with learners long after a test is completed (Reeves, 2002) or is useful beyond a single test or unit of study (Many and Horrell, 2014) which is
applicable to real-life situations e.g. social participation and integration. Finally, the MELCs identified under the seven (7) developmental domains are those
that work in close association with the circular themes from the Kindergarten Curriculum Guide which will be used for each lesson and activity for the week.
How to Use the MELCs
The MELCs identified in Kindergarten may be taught repeatedly to help the learner acquire the necessary knowledge, skills and values. It is also recommended
that the teacher unpack the MELCs into more specific learning competencies or objectives using the Kindergarten Curriculum Guide. The teacher may add more
sub-competencies depending on the need of the learners.
