III. BEED PROGRAM OUTCOMES

The Bachelor of Elementary Education (BEED) is a four-year degree program designed to prepare the would-be teachers. The program combines both theory and
practice in order to equip them with the necessary knowledge, skills attitudes, and values an elementary teacher needs. The BEED program trains would-be teachers to facilitate
the learning of the different learning areas.

After finishing the BEED program, the graduates should be able to:
Knowledge:

1. Demonstrate basic and higher level of literacy, communication, numeracy, critical thinking, learning skills needed for higher learning;
2. Facilitate learning in elementary/secondary education guided by principles and methods of facilitating learning;
3. Integrate meaningfully and comprehensively biblical principles to the knowledge of the subject matter to real life situations of learners;
4. Apply the latest developments in the field of elementary/secondary education;

Skills:

1. Apply a wide range of teaching and facilitating process skills including curriculum development, materials development, educational assessment, and teaching
approaches;
2. Innovate on effective alternative teaching and learning approaches, methodologies, and strategies to improve student learning;
3. Facilitate meaningful learning of diverse types of learners in diverse types of learning environments, using a wide range of teaching knowledge and skills;
4. Communicate effectively in oral and in written forms in both English and Filipino;
5. Participate in generation of new knowledge and development projects;

Attitude:

1. Collaborate with colleagues and other experts in their own fields for continuous professional development and better fulfilment of their mission as teachers;
2. Work effectively and independently in multi-disciplinary and multicultural terms;
3. Act in accordance to Christian, professional, social, and ethical responsibility;

Values:

1. Create an inclusive learning friendly environment that promotes the potential of all the learners;
2. Promote “Filipino historical and cultural heritage”; and
3. Develop Christian values in their personal and professional endeavours.

IV. FIELD OF STUDY OUTCOMES (BEED)

The bachelor of Elementary Education is a degree program designed to prepare students for becoming Elementary School Teachers. Graduates of this program are
expected to be well-equipped with necessary knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values that will aid them to facilitate the teaching-learning process of any subject for the primary
level.

At the end of the program, BEED graduates should be able to:

 a. Demonstrate in depth understanding in diversity of learners in various learning areas;
b. Manifest meaningful and comprehensive pedagogical content knowledge of the different subject areas;
c. Utilize appropriate assessment and evaluation tools to measure learning outcomes;
d. Manifest skills in communication, higher order thinking skills and use of tools and technology to accelerate learning and teaching;
e. Demonstrate positive attributes of a model teacher, both as an individual and as professional;
f. Manifest a desire to continuously personal and professional development; and
g. Integrate biblical principles in the practice of the profession in the classroom subject teaching.

V. COURSE INFORMATION

COURSE TITLE: Teaching Math in the Primary Grades

COURSE CODE: EE 107

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

This course equips prospective teachers with pedagogical content knowledge for the teaching of basic contents in mathematics in the primary level. Understanding of key
