A Workshop on Embedding GCED in the New Teacher Education Curriculum in the Philippines

 

APCEIU co-organized a workshop on embedding GCED in the new teacher education curriculum in the Philippines from 24 to 26 October 2017. This workshop was co-organized by the Philippine Normal University, the Philippine National Commission for UNESCO, and the National Association of UNESCO Clubs in the Philippines. A total of 50 participants consisting of deans and professors of colleges of education and basic education teachers from all regions of the Philippines attended the workshop with the objective of reinforcing the effective incorporation of GCED in the teacher education curriculum in the Philippines.

 

In the Philippines, a new teacher education curriculum has been introduced to prepare teachers for the newly approved K-12 (Kindergarten to Grade 12) curriculum in the basic education sector. Against this background, the workshop aimed to raise participants' awareness about GCED and enhance their understanding of the key concepts, practices, pedagogy and facilitation strategies for GCED and discussed methods for embedding GCED into the new teacher education curriculum.

 

By the last day of the workshop, the participants shared their ideas on measures for incorporating GCED into the mandatory courses offered at teacher education institutions in the Philippines including: Assessment, Teaching Profession and Pedagogy. Finally, the participants presented their action plans to put GCED into practice in their respective institutions.

 

As this workshop was also a realization of an action plan of a Filipino participant of the 17th Asia-Pacific Training Workshop held by APCEIU in July 2017, the workshop built a positive outlook on the continuous spread of GCED in teacher education in the Philippines.
