The Fashion and Apparel Department (FAD) students of Western Visayas College of Science and Technology (WVCST) held a fashion show dubbed as “Fashion Fusion- A Fashion Show"  on February 26, 2015 at the WVCST Covered Gym.

It showcased the creativity of the Bachelor of Science in Fashion Design and Merchandising (BSFDM), Bachelor of Industrial Technology major in Fashion and Apparel (BIT-FAT), and the Bachelor of Fashion and Technology (BFAT) students in designing men and women’s formal wear.

Presenting the collection by year level, the first year BSFDM and the BIT-FAT students showcased their cocktail collection; second year BFAT and BIT-FAT  their gown collection; third year BIT-FAT students their the Men’s formal wear; and the fourth year BFAT and BIT-FAT with their earth wear collection.

During the fashion show, the student-designers modelled their creations on the fashion runway while the male designers of women’s wear collection preferred to get their own models.

The said event is held annually as a  culminating activity  and as  part of the final grade requirement of the FAD students. The faculty, students and parents of the designers served as critics during the fashion show. The collections are now available for purchase or rentals based on the decision of the student designers. 

 Meanwhile, another fashion show of the 3^rd year BFAT students, which was a contest, was held at the Robinson’s Place Iloilo on March 8, 2015 as a part of their theses.

 

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.
