HRD conducts WAVE seminar

A Work Attitude and Values Enhancement (WAVE) seminar-workshop spearheaded by the Human Resource Department (HRD) of the Western Visayas College of Science and Technology (WVCST) was conducted last February 20, 2015.

Participated in by 64 casual and permanent employees of the college, the seminar-workshop was conducted to equip employees with wholesome work attitude and values necessary for the overall transformation of the organization.

During the activity, the participants reflected on their work ethics and attitudes through various activities such as drawing things that symbolize them and writing the values most important to them.

In his speech, Dr. Carmelo V. Ambut, Vice President for Research and Extension (VPRE), emphasized the concepts of values and attitudes and the importance of enjoying one’s work.

Ways on cultivating a positive work attitude were also presented to promote a good working environment that will increase productivity.

Employees should make it an opportunity to tell each other that they are happy working together, said by Dr. Nehema K. Misola, Vice President for Administration and Finance (VPAF), in her message.

Resource speakers were Nuncie Pampliega, Bingbing S. Layao, and Ma. Victoria G. Mabilog.

Student-teachers attend seminar-workshop

 

To prepare the future teachers of Western Visayas College of Science and Technology (WVCST) College of Education (COE) on K-12 curriculum, 50 student-teachers attended a seminar-workshop on Inquiry-based Science Teaching.

The two series seminar-workshop was held on January 16, 2015 and February 13, 2015, at the EdTech center.

During the February 13 workshop, eight selected participants presented their papers on inquiry-based science teaching. The Diploma in Teaching (DIT) students from West Visayas State University (WVSU) and a student from WVCST also presented their reflections from the eight-hour seminar-workshop.

The seminar workshop involved critical thinking and it was very challenging, said by Jeline Arellano, a Bachelor of Science in Biological Science student.

Inquiry based learning is a process where students learn the foundation of scientific thinking such as formulating questions, investigating to find answers, building new understandings, meanings and knowledge, and communicating their learnings to others. It is also an important element in the science curriculum.

In his speech, Dr. Carmelo V. Ambut, VP for Research and Extension, emphasized the process of an inquiry and how it plays a big role in real life situations.

Miss Ayaka Mizuki and Ms. Yasue Mizuki, the resource speakers are volunteers from Japan International Cooperative Agency (JICA), a Japanese organization that offers to teach inquiry-based teaching to schools adopting the K-12 Education.

This seminar-workshop was sponsored by the JICA, WVCST-COE, and the WVSU Science Enhancement Program.
