Abstract
This descriptive study examined the teachers’ difficulties in contextualizing the most essential learning competencies (MELC) in a public elementary school under a medium-sized Division in an urbanized City in Central Philippines during the School Year 2022-2023. It used a validated and reliable self-made questionnaire to collect data from 86 teachers. The results showed that most teachers are younger, married, have taught longer, and hold bachelor’s degrees. Furthermore, data showed moderate teachers’ difficulties in contextualizing MELC according to curriculum and instruction, instructional materials, and assessment. When further grouped by four demographic groupings, teachers experienced moderate difficulties in contextualizing MELC based on the same three constructs above on curriculum and instruction, instructional materials, and assessment. Finally, no significant difference exists in teachers’ difficulties in contextualizing MELC based on the same four demographic groupings and three constructs. The findings suggest the need to equip teachers with the necessary tools and support to create a more engaging, relevant, and effective learning environment that enhances students’ understanding and appreciation of the subject. Keywords: Curriculum and instruction, instructional materials, assessment, Bacolod City, Negros Occidental, Philippines.
