Science Education for Linguistic and Cultural Diversity in Philippine Public Higher Education (SELC-PhPHiEd)

The framework for Science Education for Linguistic and Cultural Diversity in Philippine Public Higher Education (SELC-PhPHiEd) is visualized to encompass three major components: the Filipino learners, the pedagogies and pedagogical frameworks, and the teachers’ knowledge system in terms of enacting the science curriculum. SELC-PhPHiEd presents the general constructs of focus in undertaking curricular modifications, enhancements, and enactment. These general constructs outline how the blueprint may also inform the different teacher education processes that inform teacher’s knowledge, trainings and research in pedagogies, and the development of products for teaching and learning such as lesson exemplars, modules, and assessment within the bounds of linguistic and cultural inclusivity. SELC-PhPHiEd is PNU’s vehicle to concretely advocate transfer of technology and disseminate knowledge on linguistic and cultural inclusivity to other Teacher Education Institutions for higher quality science education in the country.
