The 𝟏𝟎𝐭𝐡 𝐂𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐮𝐬 𝐂𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐮𝐦 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐞 (𝐂𝐂𝐂) 𝐌𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 was successfully conducted on September 2, 2026, at the Conference Room of the College of Education. Dr. Michael B. Cahapay, Director of the Center for Curriculum Studies and Instructional Designing (CCSID), presided over the meeting, which was attended by CCC members and representatives from the University’s academic units.

The meeting served as a venue to discuss significant curriculum development, instructional design, and quality assurance initiatives. Key agenda items included the reconstitution of the College Curriculum Committee, updates on Course and Program Evaluation submissions, Course Pack 1 requirements, and the submission of Tables of Specifications (TOS) and assessment materials. The committee also discussed the upcoming UTeach Induction Program for newly hired and returning faculty members.

A major highlight of the meeting was the deliberation on the Andragogically Responsive and Active Learning (ARAL) Program. After evaluating several instructional models based on practicality, flexibility, and clarity, the committee selected Merrill’s First Principles of Instruction as the preferred model. Moreover, other matters discussed included the finalization and dissemination of the PO and PEO Mapping, the implementation and monitoring of the BOR-approved Class Observation Guidelines, the automation of Course and Program Evaluation, the development of supplementary CCSID guidelines, and the workload and possible deloading arrangements for curriculum representatives. The committee also emphasized the importance of developing an institutional Outcomes-Based Education (OBE) primer or adapted manual contextualized for MSU–General Santos.

These initiatives demonstrate the University’s continuing commitment to strengthening academic governance, improving curriculum implementation, supporting faculty development, and promoting evidence-based quality assurance practices. They contribute to the attainment of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 4 (Quality Education) through improved teaching, assessment, and curriculum development; SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) through faculty capacity-building and support; and SDG 16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions) through transparent academic governance, institutional collaboration, and systematic quality assurance. Through these efforts, the Center for Curriculum Studies and Instructional Designing (CCSID) continues to foster excellence in curriculum development and instructional innovation toward a more responsive and resilient higher education system.

𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐃 𝐓𝐢𝐞𝐫 𝟏 𝐍𝐚𝐠𝐭𝐚𝐩𝐨𝐬 𝐬𝐚 𝐏𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐡𝐨𝐤 𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐍𝐒𝐌

Matagumpay na isinagawa ng 𝐂𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐂𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐮𝐦 𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 (𝐂𝐂𝐒𝐈𝐃) ang 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐄𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐀𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 (𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐃) 𝐓𝐢𝐞𝐫 𝟏 𝐒𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐫 para sa mga g**o ng College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics (CNSM), na nagsisilbing huling batch ng naturang programa. Naging mahalagang pagkakataon ito upang higit pang mapaunlad ang kaalaman at kasanayan ng mga g**o sa larangan ng educational assessment at mapalakas ang mga praktis na nakatutulong sa kalidad ng pagtuturo at pagkatuto.

Pormal na binuksan ang programa sa pamamagitan ng mensahe ng pagtanggap mula sa Curriculum Representative ng CNSM, Dr. Berlita Disca, na nagbigay-diin sa kahalagahan ng patuloy na paglinang ng kakayahan ng mga g**o sa pagtataya at instructional practices.

“While we teach different disciplines, we share a common responsibility that is to ensure that our students achieve the learning outcomes we have set for them and that our assessment practices truly measure those outcomes,” ayon kay Dr. Disca.

Sa mga isinagawang sesyon, napalalim ang kaalaman ng mga kalahok hinggil sa mga batayang konsepto at prinsipyo ng educational assessment. Nabigyang-linaw din sa mga talakayan ang mga katanungan ng mga kalahok hinggil sa pagsulat at pagbuo ng course syllabus, gayundin sa wastong paghahanda ng Table of Specifications (TOS) upang matiyak ang pagkakahanay ng mga learning outcomes, nilalaman, at mga pagtataya. Nilinaw din ang mga proseso at konsiderasyon sa pagbuo ng rubrics, partikular ang paggamit nito sa pagtatasa ng mga gawaing kabilang sa authentic assessment, upang matiyak na ang mga pamantayan ay malinaw, angkop, at naaayon sa inaasahang learning outcomes.

Bilang huling batch, nagkaroon ang mga g**o mula sa CNSM ng mahalagang papel sa pagtatapos ng unang yugto ng LEAD Tier 1 Seminar. Kaugnay nito, nakatakdang maglunsad ang CCSID ng mga programa na nakatuon sa higit pang pagpapaunlad ng kaalaman at kasanayan ng mga g**o sa educational assessment, partikular sa mas malalim na pag-unawa at paggamit ng angkop na mga pamamaraan at estratehiya sa pagtataya. Sa pamamagitan ng mga susunod na antas ng LEAD, layunin ng tanggapan na higit pang mapahusay ang kakayahan ng mga g**o sa pagdidisenyo at pagbuo ng mga de-kalidad na assessment na naaayon sa learning outcomes at pangangailangan ng mga mag-aaral.

Sa pamamagitan ng LEAD, patuloy na nakikibahagi ang CCSID sa pagsusulong ng 𝗦𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗚𝗼𝗮𝗹𝘀 (𝗦𝗗𝗚𝘀), partikular ang SDG 4 (De-kalidad na Edukasyon), SDG 8 (Disenteng Trabaho at Pag-unlad ng Ekonomiya), at SDG 16 (Kapayapaan, Katarungan, at Matatag na mga Institusyon), tungo sa isang de-kalidad, inklusibo, at outcomes-based na sistema ng edukasyon.
