ABOUT US
The Social Engagement Committee of the Department of Philosophy at De La Salle University (DLSU), with the generous support of the United Board of Christian Higher Education in Asia (UBCHEA), offers the asynchronous online Teaching Participatory Action Research for Community Impact Course. It promotes the whole-person education philosophy of DLSU and UBCHEA. It equips stakeholders with the necessary tools to develop competencies and create relevant policies for the greater good. This course supports the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which will be incorporated into the different aspects of the course.
The course is designed to train educators in higher education to teach students how to conduct research for social transformation. The aim is to equip these educators with the necessary skills to mentor young adults and help them make meaningful contributions toward transformation. The course promotes culturally sensitive teaching practices that involve carefully preparing materials, respectful engagement with community members, and empowering students to communicate research results to the community for feedback and adoption
Promoting the drive for higher quality education to improve and expand the knowledge of various communities.
Advancing efforts to diminish disparities, ensuring equal opportunities for all, regardless of race, age, gender, or socioeconomic status.
Promoting communities that not only value the quality of life for humans but, it’s surrounding environment as well.
The course is asynchronous, entirely virtual, divided into six modules, and is designed for self-paced learning. Every module has a short instructional video, a learning module, one or two readings, and an output that participants complete and submit. An online discussion after the sixth module aims to gather the participants’ reflections on the content and process of the course and the degree of their engagement.
