INTRODUCTION
Welcome to Zamboanga City State
Polytechnic College, the premier higher education
institution in Zamboanga Peninsula, one of the
Centers of Development in Teacher Education
Institutions in the country and an ISO accredited
institution as recognized by the Commission on
Higher Education. It is our pride and honor, that you
choose ZCSPC as your school of choice.
With the current situation under a NEW NORMAL condition due to COVID19
Pandemic, our school is now trying to find ways and means to provide accessible and
quality tertiary education. It is for this reason that the administration has decided to offer
flexible learning education using two modalities: Blended and Distance Learning
education. In as much as we limit that actual and physical face-to-face mode of delivery,
each college has decided to come up with printed module to cater those students who
cannot avail online learning modalities.
This module has been prepared to guide you in your learning journey with the use
of the Guided and Self-directed learning activities prescribed to finish your course. Each
module includes reading materials that have been chosen to help you understand the
ideas and concepts introduced by the module.
For this semester, your class in Gender and Society focuses on basic
understanding of gender issues and concerns in our ever-evolving society. Exercises and
assessments of learning activities are provided to test your comprehension and apply the
concepts that you have learned from this module. After accomplishing all modules, you
are expected to do the following:
2
Demonstrate understanding of supportive learning environments that
nurture and inspire learner participation; and
Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of differentiated teaching to suit
the learner’s gender, needs, strengths, interests, and experiences.
• The lessons on this module is logically organized. Every lesson is connected to the
next and necessary for a better understanding of the next topic. Hence, please do
not skip a page. Read every page of this module and do every task that is asked of
you.
• Read the Table of Contents so that you will have a good grasp of the entire course.
Having an overview of what you are about to study will help you see the
interrelationships of the concepts or knowledge that you are about to learn.
• Every lesson or unit begins with the learning objectives. The objectives are the
target skills or knowledge that you must be able to gain or perform after studying
the entire lesson/unit.
• Take the post test, activity or practice exercise given at the end of the lesson or
unit. Do this only when you have thoroughly read the entire lesson or unit. When
answering every activity, test, or exercise, please answer them honestly without
looking at the answer key. The answer key is given to you for you to check your
own progress and monitor your own understanding of the lesson. The knowledge
you will gain depends on how much effort and honesty you put into your work.
• Please pay attention to the Study Schedule on page 4. This will guide you and make
sure that you do not lag behind. Lagging behind will result to cramming and
eventually affects your understanding of the lesson.
• Know what it takes to pass the course. Please refer to the Evaluation and Grading
System on page 5 and 6 respectively.
• If you encounter difficult words which are not found in the Glossary page of this
module, take some time to locate the meaning of these words in a dictionary. You
will fully understand your lesson if you exert extra effort in understanding it. There
is no room for laziness and complacency. College students are expected to be
independent learners.

• If there is anything in the lesson which you need clarifications on, do not hesitate to
contact your instructor or professor at the appropriate time.
• You will be evaluated by your instructor or professor to check how much knowledge
and skills you have gained. The result of this evaluation will form a big chunk of
your grade. So please do well and do not waste time.
• Remember that you are the learner. Do not let other people do any of the tasks on
your behalf. Doing so is a form of cheating which will not benefit you but will only put
you at a disadvantage in the long run. Remember that cheating in your schoolwork is
a form of deception. You are not fooling anyone but yourself.
• Lastly, as ZCSPians you must always be guided by our core values; Love of God;
Social Responsibility; Commitment/ Dedication to the Service; and Accountability.

lives.
To help students achieve levels of full participation in their communities, teachers must focus
