The Philippine Computer
Society (PCS), in coordination with the Commission on Higher Education (CHED)
is bringing the Seminar-Workshop on IT Education to Visayas and Mindanao this
summer.
The seminar’s theme, “IT Curriculum Reengineering”, is very
relevant most importantly in a field that is dynamic as information technology.
I.T. field is characterized by rapid changes brought about by continuing innovations
in technology, therefore, schools must always be in sync with all these developments
in order to maintain a high standard in the delivery of educational services.
Hand-in-hand with curriculum development, I.T. Educators must be able to design
a curriculum that maintains a high standard of teaching in the traditional
requirements of a wholistic development of an individual, including the basic
theoretical concepts of I.T. education and flexibility that allows for the
inclusion of skills that are required of an I.T. professional based on the
current trends and innovations in the field. [TOP]

SESSION
DETAILS
Revisiting IT Education Policies
The idea of “globalization” has forced government to rethink its
policies on education to enable us to compete in the global market. Find out
the current IT Education policies, its objectives, strategies, qualifications
of head and/or faculty; what are the ITE and non-ITE core topics; what is
TPITE/CHED doing now.
Theories
of Learning and Motivation
Learning involves the whole body and mind. Learning programs and methods should
involve imparting a concept or skill to plant the seeds. What are the traditional
vs modern day learning/foundation? What motivates learners?
The 7
E’s of a Development Manager
Do you think there is still something better you can actually deliver as a
teacher? What are the developmental stages in Teaching? What are your teaching
perspectives; your teaching metaphors?
Trends
in Educational Technology
What are the critical issues in Computer Mediated Educational Technology?
Its Framework for Design and Implementation? What are the current trends?
What are its future challenges and direction?
Effective
Communication and Presentation
Every person can learn, but not everyone learns the same way. Different persons
learn best in different ways and there is no one approach to instruction that
fits to everyone! A teacher needs to know the Learning Preferences of his/her
students. What are the various models of learning and which models of learning
are best used in the subjects they are teaching?
Developing
a Model Curriculum and Syllabus
TPITE has started to discuss the drafting of a model I.T. curriculum and detailed
syllabi with the Philippine Society of IT Educators and other groups such
as CED-FIT so that I.T. Administrators will be guided in the process of revising
their own syllabi. Industry practitioners will share their experiences in
parallel sessions so that faculty may be informed and made aware of the things
industry are doing and also to help them development their syllabi according
to industry expectations.
Creativity
in Teaching
Artistry, intuition, perspective, creativity and quick emotional and intellectual
reflexes are what help teachers survive . . . not rigid adherence to a particular
set of techniques. . . . What are the Paradoxes of Creativity? How would you
apply motivation and creativity to learning? What are your powers as Teachers?
What is your classroom management profile?
International
Benchmarking
For global competitiveness, there is a need to establish means to make Philippine
IT Education at par with global standards set by international bodies. Does
our IT curriculum prepare the students for IT skills certification qualifying
them further to work in industries locally and abroad? Do the IT course contents
jibe with the
minimum topics suggested in various testing and certification programs, such
as, UCLES, ECDL, MOUS, JITSE and the like?

University
of Bohol (www.universityofbohol.com)
The University of Bohol was originally named Rafael Palma College after the
greatest scholar of his time, the late Dr. Rafael Palma . Its history is an
account of how a group of public and civic spirited citizens of the Province
of Bohol ventured to establish an educational institution in answer to a long
felt need of college education to those who could not afford to study outside
the province.
The College admitted to her halls in July , 1946, 622 students. Since then she has grown in size, leadership and influence far beyond the dreams of the founders despite inadequate revenues, adversities and prejudice. The institution now offers instruction in many branches of knowledge on the post graduate, collegiate, secondary, and elementary levels.
The idea upper-most in the minds of the founders was to establish a non-sectarian, non-profit, and non-political school that would offer high standard of instruction within the reach of the common man of the community. The school is supported by subscription from public spirited-citizens who, without any personal interest, have devoted to the cause of raising the educational and cultural horizon of our people.
Sparked by enthusiasm
and courage, the administration applied for the University status in 1969.
On October 16, 1970, the Secretary of Education, Onofre D. Corpus granted
the Charter for University of Bohol. On December 11, 1970, the President,
Atty. Victoriano D. Tirol, Sr. was installed.
As one of the leading institutions in Central Visayas, it serves not only
Boholanos but also those from the neighboring provinces. It has continually
produced prominent people who are leaders in the community. It takes pride
of graduates who top in board examinations and who successfully work their
way to prove true to the mission of the institution. It has now established
it roots - firm and strong - through faith, hope and prayer. [TOP]
Bohol, a fascinating place to see. Home to the renowned Chocolate Hills, a cluster of hills formed through the centuries from corals and shell fragments and known to turn brown every summer. Bohol is also the natural habitat of the world’s smallest primate, the Tarsier.
An oval-shaped island dotted with 72 smaller islets comprising an area of 4,117 sq. km. It has 47 towns with Tagbilaran City as its capital.
Historically, Tagbilaran is famous for being the site where a blood compact between Datu Sikatuna and Spanish conquistador Miguel Lopez de Legazpi was forged. Tagbilaran is also the annual host of the Sandugo Festival, a month-long event commemorating the first Filipino-Spanish treaty, highlighted by trade fairs, exhibits and a grand street party. Tagbilaran is home to the Philippines 4th President’s Museum, the Carlos P. Garcia Museum and a variety of hotels.
