Abstract:
This thesis entitled "ENHANCING MOST
ESSENTIAL LEARNING COMPETENCIES IN
ENGLISH THROUGH DIGITAL LITERACY
SKILLS " was conducted to answer the following:
Through the data presented on the Chapter 4 of the
research paper, the findings has proven that there is no
significant difference between the DepEd Learner’s
Packet Learning Module which was used by the
comparison group and the Digital Literacy-Based
Learning Material which was enhanced by the
researchers and used by the experimental group.
Additionally, the conducted field experiment also
proved the effectiveness of the MELCs (Most
Essential Learning Competencies) developed,
proposed, and selected by the Department of
Education. However, the researchers' developed
module has small effect on the learning performance
of the experimental group. Conclusively, the MELC
that was currently used by the field implementers
around the country is considered to be of help in
addressing the needs of the students in the learning
phase despite the challenges and crisis caused by the
COVID-19 pandemic by way of the implemented
distance learning and the effective demonstration of
teaching and learning through the utilization of digital
literacy skills.
