NRCP cites
Lasallian research efforts
CED
Dean honored with Achievement Award
The
National Research Council of the Philippines (NRCP), a research
body with over 2,400 members nationwide, recently recognized
Lasallian contributions that promote the advancement of science.
Among those recognized by NRCP was College of Education Dean
Dr. Allan Bernardo for his significant contributions in the
fields of education and psychology.
Working
through researches that will build up a body of Filipino men
and women devoted to scientific research, NRCP serves as an
advisory body to the national government. It handles research
projects that deal on crucial problems and issues affecting
the country.
One
of the main thrusts of the research council is to encourage
the continuous development of Filipino scientists and researchers
as professionals and as members of a larger society. It supports
researches in the basic and applied sciences to ensure the
development of concepts and technologies for national development,
defense, and welfare.
By
facilitating the effective linkage between the government
and educational, scientific, industrial, and other sectors,
it ensures the optimal utilization of resources and results
of scientific research.
In
its 69th Annual Meeting at the Centennial Hall of the Manila
Hotel on March 2, NRCP awarded DLSU-M’s CED dean with the
2002 Achievement Award for his significant contributions in
the field of Social Science Research.
In
the award citation, Bernardo was recognized for his distinguished
career as a prolific researcher and author, respected professor,
and academic leader.
Bernardo
was cited for his original contributions in the field of cognitive
science especially in human problem solving, mathematical
cognition, bilingual cognition, cultural and contextual factors
in thinking and theories of intelligence, as well as the applications
of cognitive science to education.
He was also recognized for serving as an inspiration to young
scholars and academics, thus ensuring the continued growth
of psychology as a discipline.
