NATIONAL SERVICE TRAINING PROGRAM

UNIVERSITY OF PANGASINAN
Dagupan City
ACADEMIC PLAN
Introduction
The National Service Training Program is designed to orient and train
the students in “programs and activities contributory to the general welfare
and betterment of life of the members of the community and in the
enhancement of the facilities, especially, those which are devoted to health,
education, environment, entrepreneurship, safety, recreation and moral of
the citizenry”(RA 9163, Section 3, d). It gives the student an overview of
their role in nation building. It promotes civic consciousness among them,
develops their physical, moral, spiritual, intellectual and social well-being
needed to enable them to render fruitful and meaningful service to their
community. The quality of NSTP program therefore is evident not only in
student’s transformation but also in the community transformation.
In the context of student’s transformation, the strategies implemented
include: the STET Paradigm: The Human Capacity for Transformation, the
Page 3 of 30
VIP: Framework for Understanding Human Dignity, the Transformational
Leadership, and Retreat for Spiritual Growth. Along community
transformation, the strategies implemented include: seminar on community
development which is focused on social entrepreneurship, project
development, social mobilization, resource generation and monitoring and
evaluation.After the seminar, students are embedded in an identified
community to conduct needs assessment, analysis and develop relevant and
feasible community development projects. The project proposal defense,
approval and implementation are conducted in partnership with local
government, sponsoring agencies and target area residents. These strategies
have been adopted in the University since 2006.
In recognition of the exemplary implementation of NSTP and the
various community development projects accomplished, the University of
Pangasinan was awarded the Golden Flame of Virtue for Outstanding
Community Development projects and Outstanding NSTP Coordinator for the
year 2007. This achievement puts the University in another educational
leadership as well as leadership in community development projects.
For the past six years of implementation, the NSTP continuously face a
number of challenges. These challenges are rooted along the sustainability
and impact of projects conducted, the instructional strategies designed to
produce students with excellent knowledge, skills and imbued with right
values and attitudes, organizational structure in the light of challenging
qualification and commitment of faculty members and the demand for
financial support from the University.
The long term success of NSTP requires a periodic examination of its
programs and organizational structure in the light of challenging and
changing needs of the students and the community. This academic plan
reflects a reexamination of the student’s needs and the effectiveness of
addressing the needs of both students and the community. This academic
plan for 2008-2009 represents an update and fine tuning of the directions
implemented in the strategic plan of 2006.
The Planning Process

Building on the foundation of “Transforming People, Transforming
Communities,” the NSTP coordinator and facilitator began to prepare for the
creation of the NSTP ACADEMIC PLAN for the year 2008-2009. A review of
the NSTP program for the past two years was first implemented. The review
examined the outputs, impacts and structure of the NSTP and developed a
set of recommendations for change and improvement of the NSTP. The
review recommendations formed a starting point for the development of the
academic plan that would strategically position the NSTP for greater impact
and success. This NSTP ACADEMIC PLAN provides an opportunity to review
and comment before it is revised and approved for implementation in June
2008.
Overview of the NSTP Goals and Key Themes

1. As stipulated in R.A. 9163, “Civic Welfare Training Service refers to
programs of activities contributory to the general welfare and the
betterment of life for the members of the community or the
enhancement of its facilities, especially those devoted to improving
health, education, environment, entrepreneurship, safety,
recreation and morals of citizenry.”
2. The vision of the University of Pangasinan, “. . .as LEAD COMPETENT
ENABLER OF PEOPLE and COMMUNITIES’ TRANSFORMATION toward
achieving PROSPERITY, SECURITY and SOCIAL WELLNESS in
dynamically chaging and globalizing societies.”
3. The C.E.S.A.R. is geared towards the realization of its goal,
“Contributes to the economic, socio-cultural, health and education
development of marginal population groups in the Province of
Pangasinan.”
4. The academic accountability plan is the mechanism through which
the school indicates the goals it plans to achieve and the
performance levels it will be held accountable for attaining.
Current Academic Quality and Accountability

The basic question: Is the NSTP a success? The following indicators
describe the standards and consequences of the NSTP.
Indicator 1. The NSTP Curriculum

The NSTP curriculum is composed of orientation and discussion of RA
9163, self-awareness and values development, leadership training,
community project development training, community needs assessment,
project implementation, monitoring and evaluation. The curricular program
comparison between CHEd Chairperson memorandum dated April 25, 2002
and the University of Pangasinan is show as follows:

Page 6 of 30
Indicator 2. Instructional Plan and Modules
The NSTP instructional plan prepared by NSTP coordinator and
facilitators was implemented last first semester, 2007-2008. The
instructional plan is scheduled for review, revision and approval before the
start of academic year 2008-2009.
As specified in the Implementing Rules and Regulations of the RA 9163,
training modules must be accreditedby CHED or TESDA. The SIKAP/STRIVE
Foundation, a CHED and TESDA accredited provider, provided some modules
used in the NSTP as an affiliate member.The modules adopted from
SIKAP/STRIVE Foundation are: (1) STET, (2) Transformational Leadership, (3)
Development, Organization and Management Theories, (4) Social
Entrepreneurship, (5) Project Management, (6) Social Mobilization, (7)
Resource Generation, and (8) Monitoring and Evaluation. The following
modules used: HIV/AIDS awareness, Crime Prevention, TB control, and
Disaster Management were based from government agencies issuances that
mandatethe discussion of these topics. Other modules developed were
based on the needs of the students and culture of the community which are
for revision/refinement and/or approval.
Indicator 3. Students’ Character and Completion

The STET-VIP Program of the NSTP is an operative paradigm with the
goal to renew youth organizations working together as a “resource in service
to the nation.” It provides a sustaining mechanism to ensure continuous
activities for transformation and enrichment. The increasing students’
accomplishments and commitment to NSTP is a relatively measure of the
transformation of their character.
Based on the report on final grades, the drop-out range of students is
6-15%.
Indicator 4. Linkages
Linkages include partnerships within the University as well as alliances
with external constituencies. Interdisciplinary partnerships within the
institution are stimulated by extension coordinators who encourage
connections with NSTP through sharing of expertise. The sharing of
expertise and support is seen during community assessment, planning and
project implementation. External partnership with target community and is
seen through resource sharing and support. These partnerships move the
community projects forward, refining and anchoring it within the context of
multidisciplinary, interconnected, collaborative community and provide the
needed synergy needed to accomplish project goals.
These linkages are consists of functional partnerships with all units of
the University and collaborative partnerships with 11 LGUs and more than 70
NGOs.
Page 7 of 30
Indicator 5. Resource Generation
The CMO no. 05 s2003 clearly states that “NSTP fees collected shall
constitute a Trust Fund, 70% of which shall be EXCLUSIVELY used for the
operation of the program. The remaining 30% retained by the school shall
serve as contingency funds especially in unprogrammed activities not
originally included in the Program of Expenditures prepared by the ROTC
Commandant or NSTP Coordinator and approved by the school head. The
remaining fund balance shall be carried over to the next semester. . .”
As a tradition in this University, the NSTP face immediate budget
constraints due to the non-implementation of the CMO. In spite of this, the
NSTP, through its controversial resource generation activities was able to
provide relative funds to implement community projects, provide materials
for operation and even funded faculty trainings, extension projects and
purchase of equipment for the general use of the university. In 2007, the
NSTP facilitators was able to raise PhP39,636.50 as NSTP Fund used for
operation and extension whereas students were able to raise PhP225,322.40
and solicited materials needed to implement their projects.
Indicator 6. Program Accomplishment and Community Satisfaction

Of the 180 activities proposed, a total of 177 activities were fully or
partially implemented. The implemented NSTP projects were along health,
economics, education, socio-cultural-environmental, and infrastructure.
Commendation letters and evaluation received by the NSTP classes from the
target areas are evidences of community satisfactions.
Indicator 7. Qualification and Performance of Faculty Members

To empower the faculty members, qualifying course for NSTP
facilitators and coordinators were attended by 18 of the 19 facilitators
conducted by STET-VIP NSTP. The impact of this qualifying course is seen in
the increased capacity of the faculty members in implementing NSTP. This is
evident in the comparison of accomplishment before and after attending the
qualifying course. Specified faculty members were selected to further attend
training course and serve as resource expert in the group. Among the
special training courses attended were grant proposal writing, writing for
publication, safety and disaster preparedness, and enhancing partnership
with GO/CSO/NGO.
As to the instructional delivery, instrument to evaluate NSTP faculty
performance must be developed for approval and implementation.
Indicator 8. Remediation and Student Services

NSTP students who were not able to attend regular schedule were
given make-up or given extended time for community service projects.
Make-up was given asadditional tasks in accordance with the desired output
of their projects. These make-up activities were often done during
weekdays. Facilitators were also tasks to identify underperforming students,
Page 8 of 30
initiate early intervention and develop strategies to re-route students back to
the main academic highway.
Indicator 9. Research Output

Research is an essential component of project planning and is
important in pushing the boundaries of what we know and how we apply
development interventions in more effective and innovative ways.
Community-based research is one of the fundamental contributions of NSTP
to our community. However, other than community analysis, research
conducted by NSTP is very minimal. Two research outputs along river
assessment and in-house community immersion were the only
accomplishments during the last academic year. Thus, there is the need for
intensified commitment to research.

Continuous Improvement Process and Accountability
The Plan-Do-Study/Check-Act (PDSA) cycle, also referred to as the
“Deming cycle,” is the reference for continuous improvement and learning.
The PDSA cycle is a method to break down change into manageable parts
and test each part to make sure that it leads to improvement and that effort
is not wasted. It can be used to test ideas for improvement quickly and
easily using possibilities generated from experience, research, reviews, or
ideas that have been shown to work elsewhere. By breaking improvements
down into small “chunks”, what starts out as an idea for change can be
tested on a small-scale, then implemented or adopted more widely, and then
developed into real, sustainable improvement. Accountability, in terms of
evaluation of effectiveness, is built into the ongoing improvement process
itself. Strengths of the continuous improvement approach include the ability
to test changes quickly on a small scale with minimal expenditure of
resources; it allows for early and effective adjustments to improvement
strategies and action plans; and it improves acceptance by implementing
staff, who are often involved directly in the design of the improvement idea
or in providing feedback during implementation.
Support Requirements and Evaluation
