This document discusses unpacking Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELCs) into simpler targets. Unpacking involves breaking down broad student outcomes into specific component skills. It is a five-step process: 1) select a learning competency, 2) identify the target skill, 3) determine prerequisite skills using Bloom's Taxonomy, 4) develop objectives for prerequisite skills, and 5) develop objectives for the target skill. An example demonstrates unpacking the competency "Demonstrate ways to manage puberty-related health issues and concerns" into specific remember, understand, and apply level objectives.

2. WHAT IS UNPACKING OF MELCs?
• Is a technique teachers can utilize to create simpler learning
targets.
• It is called DECONSTRUCTING or UNWRAPPING
• It is a process of breaking down student learning outcomes
into component parts to identify life-long transferable
learning skills
• Taking a deeper dive into the content that will be taught.

3. STEPS IN UNPACKING LEARNING
COMPETENCIES
• First, choose a Learning Competency out of
the Most Essential Learning Competencies.
Example:
Demonstrate ways to manage puberty-
related health issues and concerns.

4. STEPS IN UNPACKING LEARNING
COMPETENCIES
• Second, identify the Target Skills.
Example:
Demonstrate ways to manage puberty-
related health issues and concerns.
Target Skills are in terms of verb in the chosen learning
competency

5. STEPS IN UNPACKING LEARNING
COMPETENCIES
• Third, identify the Pre-requisite Skills.
Example:
Demonstrate ways to manage puberty-
related health issues and concerns.
Pre-requisite Skills is determined using Bloom’s Taxonomy

6. Bloom’s
Taxonomy-
is a set of three
hierarchical
models used to
classify
educational
learning
objectives into
levels of
complexity and
specificity.

8. STEPS IN UNPACKING LEARNING
COMPETENCIES
• Fourth, develop Learning Objectives out of
the Pre-requisite skills..
REMEMBER (define, duplicate, list, memorize, repeat,
state)
List down the different puberty-related health
issues and concerns.

9. STEPS IN UNPACKING LEARNING
COMPETENCIES
• Fourth, develop Learning Objectives out of
the Pre-requisite skills..
UNDERSTAND (classify, describe, discuss, explain,
identify, locate, recognize, report, select, translate)
Describe each of the different puberty-related
health issues and concerns.

10. STEPS IN UNPACKING LEARNING
COMPETENCIES
• Fifth, develop Learning Objectives out of the
Target skills..
APPLY (execute, implement, solve, use, demonstrate,
interpret, operate, schedule, sketch )
Implement the different ways to manage puberty-
related health issues and concerns.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
REMEMBER -List down different puberty-related health
issues and concerns.
UNDERSTAND -Describe each of the different puberty-
related health issues and concerns.
APPLY-Implement the different ways to manage
puberty-related health issues and concerns.
