The 𝗟𝗶𝘁-𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗮𝗹 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿 started with a practical question: 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘶𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘳 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘩 𝘢𝘥𝘷𝘪𝘴𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮?

This led 𝐌𝐬. 𝐉𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐚 𝐌. 𝐀𝐫𝐚𝐰𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐧 of the College of Education to put her classroom scaffolding activities into digital form.

Her experiences with Research 199(a), MAEDF 101 (Methods of Research), RES 101 (Research Methodology), and research proposal presentations revealed where students often became confused or uncertain. The worksheets, prompts, examples, and repeated explanations she used with students became the foundation of the app.

The exciting part was not simply creating a digital tool. It was seeing familiar classroom activities become something students could open, revisit, and use at their own pace. The app does not write the proposal for students or replace their teachers and research advisers. It provides structured questions, examples, and checkpoints that help students examine literature, make research decisions, and continue working more independently.

The app remains a developing educational tool that continues to be tested, questioned, and refined through classroom experience. Its development reflects how HNU College of Education takes research seriously by listening to students’ difficulties and turning teaching experience into practical support for learning.

𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟. 𝐉𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐚 𝐌. 𝐀𝐫𝐚𝐰𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐧, faculty member of the College of Education, shared this through the session “𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗜𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗗𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴? 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱,” held on June 18, 2026, at Carmen Municipal College and on July 23, 2026, at Talibon Polytechnic College.

Using the familiar experience of learning to ride a bicycle and the image of a learner’s climb, faculty participants reflected on clearer questions for teaching: What should learners be able to do? What work must they perform? Where might they struggle? What support do they need? How will we know they are moving forward?

The sessions affirmed that meaningful learning design takes time, disciplinary expertise, collaboration, and institutional support. They also reminded us of the joy of designing and teaching: seeing more clearly what learners need, planning how to support them, and watching them move toward what they are capable of becoming.

We are grateful to Carmen Municipal College, Talibon Polytechnic College, and the participating faculty members for the thoughtful exchange.
