Policies, Standards and Guidelines for Bachelor of Science in Exercise and Sports Sciences (BSESS)

November 2, 2017

CHED MEMORANDUM ORDER NO. 081-17

 

In accordance with the pertinent provisions of Republic Act (RA) No. 7722, otherwise known as the "Higher Education Act of 1994," and in pursuance of an outcomes-based quality assurance system as advocated under CMO 46 s. 2012, and by virtue of Commission en banc (CEB) Resolution No. 724-2017 dated October 3, 2017, the following policies, standards and guidelines (PSGs) are hereby adopted and promulgated by the Commission.

ARTICLE I

Introduction

SECTION 1. Rationale. —

Based on the Guidelines for the Implementation of CMO No. 46 s. 2012, this PSG implements the "shift to learning competency-based standards/outcomes-based education" in response to the 21st Century Philippine Teacher Education framework. Furthermore, this PSG is anchored on the salient features of K to 12 Enhanced Curriculum (RA 10533),the Philippine Qualifications Framework (EO 83, s. 2012), and other relevant documents. It specifies the 'core competencies' expected of Bachelor of Science in Sports and Exercise Sciences (BSESS) graduates "regardless of the type of HEI they graduate from." However, in "recognition of the spirit of outcomes-based education and of the typology of HEIs," this PSG also provides "ample space for HEIs to innovate in the curriculum in line with the assessment of how best to achieve learning outcomes in their particular contexts and their respective missions."

ARTICLE II

Authority to Operate

SECTION 2. Government Recognition. —

All private higher education institutions (PHEIs) intending to offer Bachelor of Science in Exercise and Sports Sciences must first secure proper authority from the Commission in accordance with these PSGs. All PHEIs with an existing Bachelor of Physical Education major in Sports and Wellness Management are required to shift toward outcomes-based approach based on this PSG. State universities and colleges (SUCs), and Local Universities and Colleges (LUCs) should likewise strictly adhere to the provisions in these policies and standards.

ARTICLE III

General Provisions

Per Section 13 of RA 7722, the higher education institution shall exercise academic freedom in its curricular offerings but must comply with the minimum requirements for specific academic programs, the general education distribution requirement and the specific professional courses.

SECTION 3. The Articles that follow give minimum standards and other requirements and prescriptions. The minimum standards are expressed as a minimum set of desired program outcomes which are given in Article IV Section 6. The Technical Committee designed a curriculum to attain such outcomes. This curriculum is shown in Article V Section 9 as a sample curriculum. The number of units of this curriculum is here prescribed as the "minimum unit requirement" under Section 13 of RA 7722. In designing the curriculum the Technical Committee employed a curriculum map which is shown in Article V Section 9 as a sample curriculum map.

Using a learner-centered/outcomes-based approach the Technical Committee also determined appropriate curriculum delivery methods shown in Article V Section 10. The sample course syllabi given in Article V Section 11 show some of these methods.

Based on the curriculum and the means of its delivery, the Technical Committee determined the physical resource requirements for the library, laboratories and other facilities and the human resource requirements in terms of administration and faculty. See Article VI.

SECTION 4. The HEIs are allowed to design curricula suited to their own contexts and missions provided that they can demonstrate that the same leads to the attainment of the required minimum set of outcomes, albeit by a different route. In the same vein, they have latitude in terms of curriculum delivery and in terms of specification and deployment of human and physical resources as long as they can show that the attainment of the program outcomes and satisfaction of program educational objectives can be assured by the alternative means they propose.

The HEIs can use the CHED Implementation Handbook for Outcomes-Based Education (OBE) and the Institutional Sustainability Assessment (ISA) as a guide in making their submissions for Sections 18 to 23 of Article VII.

These PSGs reflect the reform towards outcomes-based education and are based on the previous CMO 23, Series of 2011 PSGs on the Bachelor of Physical Education programs, K to 12 reforms, and the New General Education curriculum (CMO No. 20, Series of 2013).

Glossary of Terms

Adapted physical education: Developmentally appropriate activities for students with limitations who may not safely or successfully engage in unrestricted participation in various activities of the general physical education program

Advanced Skills: Skills used in sport applications

Aerobic activity: Light to vigorous intensity physical activity that requires more oxygen than sedentary behavior and thus promotes cardiovascular fitness and other health benefits (e.g., jumping rope, biking, swimming, running, playing soccer, basketball, or volleyball)

Agility: A skill-related component of physical fitness that relates to the ability to rapidly change the position of the entire body in space with speed and accuracy

Anaerobic activity: Intense physical activity that is short in duration and requires a breakdown of energy sources in the absence of sufficient oxygen. Energy sources are replenished as an individual recovers from the activity. Anaerobic activity (e.g., sprinting during running, swimming, or biking) requires maximal performances during a brief period

Disaster Response: An immediate action responding to a situation in land, water and natural calamities (i.e., flood, typhoon)

Duration: Amount of time spent participating in a physical activity session

Exercise: Activities that are planned and structured, and that maintain or improve one or more of the components of physical fitness; leisure time physical activity conducted with the intention of developing physical fitness

Fine Motor Coordination: Movement involving limited movement of parts of the body in the performance of precise movements (e.g., writing, tying shoelaces.)
