GUIDING OUR TEACHERS: A Briefer on Using the Special Program in Technical- Vocational Education ( SPTVE) MELCs

The Process
The national emergencies, such as the health pandemic, has significantly disrupted the established systems and processes of the country. In education where
face to face mode of teaching-learning is the most popular and widely used, with social distancing as a new normal, the school calendar, learning activities
need to be adjusted accordingly in order to ensure basic quality education.
In response to this, the Bureau of Curriculum Development – Special Curricular Programs Division (BCD-SCPD) has identified the Most Essential Learning
Competencies (MELCs) for the Special Program in Technical Vocational Education. This SPTVE MELCs set the competency standards for various specializations.
By using MELCs, the face to face interaction between teachers and learners can be regulated,and therefore different learning delivery modes, such as online
learning, media based learning, and blended learning can be explored depending on the community context or location of the school.
The SPTVE MELCs maintain the SPTVE’s commitment to expand and intensify technical and vocational education and ensure that the techvoc learners acquire
the necessary knowledge and the 21st century skills. To achieve this, the MELCs are embedded in the four (4) major areas: Industrial Arts, Agriculture and
Fishery Arts, Information and Communications Technology, and Home Economics.

The Process of identifying the SPTVE MELCs:

In 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.
The identified SPTVE MELCs feature these characteristics:
1. broad stroke competencies which needs to be unpacked by the teachers.
2. aligned to the content and performance standards of the curriculum that are based on minimum industry requirements and occupational health and
safety standards.
3. do not replace the existing curriculum of the special curricular prgoram but these are lifted for use only in this particular school year 2020-2021

For SPTVE specializations, including exploratory and mandatory subjects, the SPTVE MELCs shall be adopted by the SPTVE-implementing schools. On the other
hand, the core academic subjects, such as, English, Science, Math, Filipino, Araling Panlipunan, MAPEH, its corresponding MELCs provided for all subjects
across grade levels will be adopted.
