Education as a key societal sector in the Philippines is
significantly affected with ASEAN 2015. With its motto, “One vision, one
identity, one community,” ASEAN seeks to establish a regional community this
2015 among its 10 member countries. Understandably, education lies at the core
of ASEAN’s development process that contributes to the creation of a
knowledge-based society, community building and enhancement of ASEAN
competitiveness. Under the third pillar of ASEAN Community – more specifically
ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community (ASCC) – member-states are expected to invest
heavily on its people’s education. Given the Philippines’ membership in the
ASEAN, our educational system will definitely be affected as it has far-ranging
ramifications in terms of employment, jobs and leadership trainings, among
others.
Two key dimensions of our current Philippine educational
system are Outcomes-Based Education (OBE) and Transnational Education (TNE).
The essence of OBE is the delivery of education with a focus on outcomes. Dr
William Spady, the self-proclaimed father of OBE, argued that it entails
focusing and organizing everything in an educational system around what is
essential for all students to be able to do successfully at the end of their
learning experiences.
The advent of OBE is in recognition of
the deficiencies of the input-based traditional education. Such deficiencies
include: students’ learning environment with little attention to whether or not
students ever learn the material; exam oriented since students are given grades
and rankings compared to each other; graduates are not completely prepared for
the workforce; and lack of emphasis on soft skills needed in jobs such as
positive working attitude and communication skills.
TNE, the other dimension, was referred by UNESCO/ Council of
Europe in 2001 to “all types of higher education study programs, or sets of
courses of study, or educational services (including distance education) in
which the learners are located in a country different from the one where the
awarding institution is based.” TNE is distinct from the two standard forms of
international student mobility where: (1) a student moves to another country
and later on return with his credentials obtained from a foreign country, and
(2) a student is briefly mobile (on a semester-based exchange or short-term study
program). Under the TNE scheme, the students do not move geographically but
study in their home country; however, their credentials are awarded in the name
of a foreign institution.
Education was always dubbed to be the right road to progress
and prosperity. As Aristotle said
“Education is the creation of a sound mind in a sound body.”
GOAL and OBJECTIVES. The goal of this conference is to provide
trends in OBE and TNE and to evaluate the practices in the Philippines and
abroad. The objectives are as follows:
1. Examine the policy/institutional perspectives for OBE and
TNE;
2. Present the OBE and TNE practices and/ or experiences of
selected state universities and colleges (SUCs), private higher education institutions (HEIs)
and other countries;
3. Examine the implications/ramifications of these OBE and TNE
practices with regard to the education dimension of ASEAN 2015;
4. Relate studies in education and its impact to OBE.
CALL FOR PAPERS. Theoretical, applied and empirical papers as
well as case studies on outcomes-based education (OBE), transnational education
(TNE) ASEAN 2015 and Education are the coverage of this conference.
Interested individuals can expect a dynamic
engagement by and among educators who will present their research, outcomes,
observations, case studies, findings and innovative ideas on these themes.
