UP NISMED trained a total of 90 elementary and high school science and mathematics teachers of the Schools Division of the City of San Fernando, Pampanga from 11 November to 14 December 2021. This capacity building program was part of the Division’s plan of retooling their science and mathematics teachers.
Three online courses were conducted for this capacity building program. The online course on Learning the Basics of GeoGebra as a Tool for Teaching Mathematics ran for a total of 24 hours from 11 to 25 November 2021. The course was designed to teach mathematics teachers how to use GeoGebra to draw and construct mathematical objects, investigate their properties, examine the effects of parameters of functions on its graphs, and use the GeoGebra website to create online dynamic worksheets. Thirty mathematics teachers completed the course. The other online course was on Developing Video Lessons in Science and Mathematics which ran for a total of 24 hours also from 24 November to 6 December 2021. The course was aimed to empower science and mathematics teachers to produce video materials for teaching science and mathematics with low budget production cost. It also aimed to help teachers write video scripts and develop and produce their own video lessons. Another 30 science and mathematics teachers completed the course. The third online course was on Implementing Inquiry-Based Chemistry Instruction in Senior High School which was conducted for a total of 25 hours from 1 to 14 December 2021. The course aimed to deepen teachers’ understanding of the concrete (macroscopic) and the abstract (sub-microscopic) concepts of molecular polarity and intermolecular forces of attraction and to enable them to create a learning management system on these topics using the inquiry approach. A total of 30 science teachers completed this course.
