Policies, Standards and Guidelines for the Bachelor of Technology and Livelihood Education (BTLEd)

November 2, 2017

CHED MEMORANDUM ORDER NO. 078-17

 

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 Technology and Livelihood Education (BTLEd) 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 BTLEd program is the preparation of TLE teachers Grades 4-8. Specifically, the BTLEd 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 competence to teach the TLE exploratory courses from Grades 4-8 high regard for learning imbued with proper work attitude and values as practiced in industry

e. nationally certified trainers in their fields of specialization

Authority to Operate

SECTION 2. Government Recognition. —

All private higher education institutions (PHEIs) intending to offer the Bachelor of Technology and Livelihood Education (BTLEd) program must first secure proper authority from the Commission in accordance with these PSGs. All PHEIs with an existing Bachelor of Secondary Education major in TLE program are required to shift to an outcomes-based approach based on this PSG. State universities and colleges (SUCs), and local colleges and universities (LUCs) 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. 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. CHED 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, CHED employed a curriculum map which is shown in Article V Section 10 as a sample curriculum map.

Using a learner-centered/outcomes-based approach, CHED also determined appropriate curriculum delivery methods shown in Article V Section 11. The sample course syllabi 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 can 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.

ARTICLE IV

Program Specification

SECTION 5. Program Description. —

5.1. Degree Name

The program discussed herein shall be called Bachelor of Technology and Livelihood Education (BTLEd) majors in:

• Home Economics

• Industrial Arts

• Information and Communication Technology

• Agri-Fishery Arts

5.2. Nature of the Field of Study

The BTLEd program is an undergraduate teacher education program that equips learners with adequate and relevant competencies in the area of Technology and Livelihood Education, particularly for the TLE exploratory courses from Grades 4-8.

5.3. Program Goals

The BTLEd program aims to develop highly competent and motivated teachers in Technology and Livelihood Education for Grades 4-8.

The technology livelihood education curriculum shall impart a body of knowledge, skills, attitudes, values and experiences that will provide prospective Grade 4-8 EPP/TLE Teachers with the necessary competencies essential for effective teaching and at the same time are accredited TVET Trainors and Assessors.

The specified body of knowledge, skills, attitudes, values and experiences shall include the following:

A. A general education component, consistent with the CHED issuance per CMO No. 20, series of 2013.

B. A professional education component to include courses under four broad categories: 1) theory and concept courses, 2) pedagogical content knowledge, 3) experiential learning courses, and 4) special topics courses.

The theory and concept courses provide the broad frameworks within which students can understand, rationalize, and reflect on the various methods, strategies, processes, issues and other matters related to the teaching profession.

C. The pedagogical content knowledge courses aim to develop in students a wide range of skills to facilitate and evaluate learning among diverse types of students in a variety of learning environments. ICT-integration in teaching is an essential part of the methods and strategies courses to equip the teacher with competencies on the use of technology in teaching and in training.

D. The pedagogical content knowledge is based on the Philippine TVET Trainers Qualification Framework (PTTQF). PTTQF ensures consistent delivery of quality training services across the country. It aims to qualify and certify prospective EPP/TLE Teachers from Grades 4-8 to ensure their competence in trade qualifications, and training and assessment methodologies.

F. The experiential learning courses are intended to provide students with practical learning experiences in which they can observe, verify, reflect on and actually experience different components of the teaching-learning processes in actual school and industry settings.

The special topics courses give the students an opportunity to explore special topics and current issues related to their field of study.

G. A specialization component that includes industry exposure to equip the teacher with in-depth knowledge of the content and specified skills in the major field.

5.4. Specific Professions/Careers/Occupations for graduates

After completion of all academic requirements of the program, graduates of the BTLEd should be able to qualify for the Licensure Examination for Teachers and practice the teaching profession in the field of Technology Livelihood Education as EPP Teachers for Grades 4-6 and/or TLE Teachers in Grades 7-8.
