Abstract
This study aimed to identify the relationship between students’ knowledge on the
Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELCs) in English 7 and their critical
thinking (CT) skills. The researcher employed the descriptive-correlational
approach and utilized survey questionnaires as its main data collection tool. Using
the systematic sampling technique, 145 students from the two secondary schools in
Zamboanguita District 2 were selected to be the respondents for this study. The
results revealed that the students’ level of knowledge on the MELCs is
predominantly categorized as “outstanding.” The data also reflected that the
students generally perceive a “somewhat high” extent of CT skills in the following
areas: analyzing relevance, evaluating sources, and using evidence to formulate an
argument. Additionally, there is a significant and strong relationship between the
level of knowledge on the MELCs and the aforementioned constructs of CT skills.
Meanwhile, the profile of the students, like age, sex, and family status, is not
significantly related to their level of knowledge on the MELCs and overall extent of
CT skills. The researcher concluded that the students’ knowledge on the MELCs
significantly influences their perception of its importance in enhancing their CT
skills. When students have a thorough grasp of a particular competency, they are
more inclined to utilize it in their CT processes.
