MODULE 2: MOST ESSENTIAL LEARNING COMPETENCIES (MELCs ) LAC 2

ACTIVITY 1. Answer the following reflective questions in your Study Notebook:
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?
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?
Answers:
1. The fundamental concerns in terms of curriculum standards is how can the competencies be mastered by the
learners since there is no face to face learning. Teachers cannot do it alone because there should be partnership
between the teachers and parents who assists the learning of their children.
