Policies, Standards and Guidelines for the Bachelor of Technical-Vocational Teacher Education (BTVTEd) ( CHED Memorandum Order No. 079-17 )

November 2, 2017

CHED MEMORANDUM ORDER NO. 079-17

 

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), the National Competency-Based Teacher Standards (NCBTS) now the Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers (D.O. 42, s. 2017) and other relevant documents. It specifies the 'core competencies' expected of Bachelor of Technical-Vocational Teacher Education (BTVTEd) 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."

Quality pre-service teacher education is a key factor in the quality of Philippine education. In the Philippines, the pre-service preparation of teachers is a very important function and responsibility that has been assigned to higher education institutions. All efforts to improve the quality of education in the Philippines are dependent on the service of teachers who are properly prepared to undertake the various important roles and functions of teachers. As such, it is of utmost importance that the highest standards are set in defining the objectives, components, and processes of the pre-service technical teacher education curriculum.

The main concern of the BTVTEd program is the preparation of teachers in TLE for Grades 9-10, senior high school for the technical-vocational livelihood (TVL) track, technical-vocational education and training (TVET), and for higher education institutions offering BTVTEd and other allied programs.

This group of teachers is equipped not only with strong theoretical understanding of teaching and technology, but also with practical exposure in industry. Specifically, the BTVTEd Program is expected to produce teachers who can assume the following major roles:

a. effective synthesizers of organized knowledge to allow analytical and critical thinking;

b. efficient and effective promoters and facilitators of learning to enable the learners to develop to the fullest their potential for a continuing pursuit of lifelong learning;

c. committed humanists whose clear understanding and appreciation of human ideals and values inspire learners to realize their potential;

d. model teachers with high regard for learning imbued with proper work attitude and values as practiced in industry; and

e. nationally certified trainers in their fields of specialization;

f. implementers of TVTE innovative approaches/insights, best practices in the context of K-12 TVL track.

Authority to Operate

SECTION 2. Government Recognition. —

All Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) intending to offer Bachelor of Technical-Vocational Teacher Education (BTVTEd) must first secure proper authority from the Commission in accordance with these PSGs. All PHEIs with an existing Bachelor of Technical Teacher Education (BTTE) and Bachelor of Industrial Education (BSIE) programs are required to shift to an outcomes-based approach based on this PSG. State universities and colleges (SUCs), and local colleges and universities should likewise strictly adhere to the provisions in these policies and standards.

ARTICLE III

General Provisions

Per section 12 of RA 7722, the higher education institution shall exercise academic freedom in its curricular offerings but must comply with the minimum requirements to specific academic programs, the general education distribution requirements and the specific professional courses.

SECTION 3. This Article gives 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. CHED designed a curriculum to attain such outcomes. A sample curriculum is shown in Article V Section 9. 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 CHED employed a curriculum map as a sample which is shown in Article V Section 10.

Using a learner-centered/outcomes-based approach, CHED also determined appropriate curriculum delivery methods shown in Article V Section 11. The sample course syllabus given in Article V Section 12 show some of these methods.

Based on the curriculum and the means of its delivery, CHED 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 curriculum 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.

HEIs shall use the CHED Implementation Handbook for Outcomes-Based Education (OBE) and the Institutional Sustainability Assessment (ISA) as guide in making their submissions for Article VII.
