How to Use the MELCs

The MELCs for SPS represent the standard competencies that will be assessed whether the learners have demonstrated mastery. Given the nature of the
MELCs, the teacher is advised to re-teach certain competencies needed for their achievement. The curriculum is spiral, hence, the course for Quarter 1 is
Biomechanics and Movement Patterns, Quarter 2 is Exercise Physiology and Methods of conditioning, Quarter 3 is Sports Injuries, Quarter 4 is Sports Nutrition
while Psychosocial or Behavioral skills are integrated during practicum sessions. It is also recommended that the teacher unpack the MELCs into more specific
learning competencies as as provided in the original curriculum guides for SPS.
