 STATEMENT OF THE PURPOSE OF THE
DISTRICT AND SECONDARY SCIENCE
COORDINATORS
This planning conference aims to:
a. Revisit Conceptual Framework and the Most Essential Learning
Competencies as basis of BOW per Quarter.
b. Share the mechanics in accessing the STARBOOKS as Supplementary
Materials.
c. Orient teachers on the suggested measures to foster “Academic ease”
during the pandemic.
d. Heighten awareness on IP and promote its creation and use.
e. Utilization of Modules and Learning Activity Sheets
f. Harmonized implementation on the different programs, projects and
activities (PPA’s) SY 2021-2022
 GENTLE REMINDERS
 Captivate precious/useful moments and ideas that may
contribute to personal and professional growth.
 Inspireother with your presence despite strict observance
of IATF health protocols.
 Eachof us , regardless of title and level in the organization,
is 100% ACCOUNTABLE for our careers. We are
accountable for our happiness, success and satisfaction at
work – NOT our boss and NOT our company/agency.
 A Briefer on the List of the Most
Essential Competencies for Science

The K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum is standards-based. The

content standards cover a specified scope of sequential topics, identify
and set the essential knowledge and understanding that must be
learned. The performance standards describe the abilities and skills that
the learners are expected to demonstrate in relation to the content
standards. These standards are further represented as learning
competencies which are the knowledge, skills and attitudes that
students need to demonstrate in every lesson or learning activity.
With the expected decrease in the contact hours of teaching science
brought by the change in schedule of the school year, the Curriculum
Standards Development Division of the Bureau of Curriculum
Development has identified learning competencies that are critical. This
list, the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELCs) were identified
using the criterion Endurance. Enduring competencies are those 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).
They also refer to learning competencies which are essential in many
professions and in everyday life.
The grade level standards were also used as basis in determining
the MELCs, considering that the Science curriculum uses a spiral
progression design. It is important to make sure that learning
competencies needed in the understanding of succeeding concepts
in the next grade level are given importance. Over all, the resulting
list still captures the objective of the science program which is the
development of scientifically, technologically, and environmentally
literate and productive members of society who manifest skills as a
critical problem solvers, responsible stewards of nature, innovative
and creative citizens, informed decision makers, and effective
communicators.

Competencies is identified in the domain Matter in the different Key Stages.
