Abstract:
The recent health crisis experienced by all nations in the world created detrimental change in the
countenance of educational sector especially in the new mode of delivering the instructions as
measure in containing the virus and as well as continuing education. In the works of literature, little to
no attention was given to the formulation of the most essential learning competencies (MELCs) as
strategic measure for modular learning. This paves the way to probe the lived experiences of the
teachers pertaining to the compromised competencies under MELCs. Anchoring to the Sociocultural
Theory of Cognitive Development by Vgotsky, this study utilized Interpretative Phenomenological
Research Design with Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) popularized by Moustakas
and modified by Van Kaam as approach to analyzed the transcripts. Using purposive sampling, there
were 7 informants participated the study. They are all qualified according to the inclusion criteria set
by the study. The study generated three themes which are: The Compromised, The Cut-short, and The
Champion. These themes elaborated the lived experiences of the teachers using the Most Essential
Learning Competencies forwarded to the students. It is recommended that the learning support should
be magnified in the new learning modality. Hence, the Most Essential Learning Competencies will be
not be compromised.
