Every Profession
Through the leadership of
the dean of the College of Educa-
tion, a Research Capability Build-
ing Seminar was conducted at the
Crisanto Building last July 9.
As the CE continues to gear
towards world class standards, re-
search has become one of the most
challenging agendum the college is
expected to face. As basic as it may

Therefore, to create a strong bench-
mark, instructors and administrators
themselves, must be well-equipped
and capable of doing research.

Olympics. Problems solvable by calculator were given
and the contestants were asked to compute using only
the calculator. The said competition heightened the
teachers’ interest to enhance and gain mastery in using
the calculator in various subjects in Mathematics.
In the parallel sessions, researches in Mathe-
matics were presented. Some action researches on
classroom – based experiential learning, classroom
voting, dynamic method, social networking, 4 – day
class scheme and philosophical and psychological an-
tecedents of problem solving. Moreover, pure Mathe-
matics conceptual researches were also introduced like
matrices and graphs, graphs of the successive deriva-
tive functions, graphs and their anti – cycle derivative.

What makes an ideal educator?

An educator is like a mirror through which a student can see his or her
future. They would like to imitate every word that you say and every action that
you do. An ideal teacher to be so called should possess a few special abilities,
should have a good personality and abundant knowledge. Someone who makes
a student enjoy learning, someone who is supportive, who goes above the call
of duty to help you out. In addition, he or she is God fearing, disciplined, coop-
erative, friendly, maintains professionalism and most of all devoted to his/her
work.
The teaching profession has many responsibilities, yet it is fulfilling. The
students you teach are like fruit-trees you plant. It is very motivating to plant
seed and to see it sprout, grow leaves, put forth flowers and bear fruits. Just im-
agine students thinking of you when they remember the great teacher they had
in college.
Rosita P. Abubo
Dean, CE

An ideal teacher should have many qualities. A student remembers

such a teacher for long because they are like mirrors through which a stu-
dent can see his or her future.

To be an educator is not an easy job. It entails a lot of work to con-

quer success. But I do believe that everything will be all right when we do
things with humility. As an educator, I am guided with this verse, “Humble
yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.“ James 4:10 KJV.

If we have a spirit of humility, we can be taught by God and be

used to touch the lives of others. In my opinion, an ideal educator is some-
Criselda G. Sario
one who is humble. With this, you can work comfortably to any people, no Chairperson, SEd
wavering on their part. Thus communication will smoothly flow and may
inspire others to do their duties and responsibilities, you work with others
healthily and open to suggestions. In short, ideal educators can influence
lives. It is just like a candle which consumes itself to light the way for others.
This is what every intellectual person expects from a teacher.
 Page 9

I agree to the idea of Baylongo who says that an ideal

educator in the 21st century is the teacher who possesses the
following traits: an ideal teacher is able to adapt the curricu-
lum and the requirements in innovative and creative way, vi-
sionary teacher who is able to use energizing tools, able to see
ideas and these ideas in his/her classes, the communicator
teacher, a leader, a model, the collaborator who is able to use
collaboration tools to enhance and motivate learners to share,
to contribute, adapt and invent and the risk taker who is able to
risks and surrenders oneself to students’ knowledge.

Salve Maria A. Sanchez

Chairperson, EEd

If you hear the word “teacher” what sinks to your mind? Who comes to your
perception? What do you see?

For me it’s not the typical old woman with eye glasses, slender stick, thick
pile of books and who wears very decent corporate attire just like those tellers in a
bank but rather a lighted bulb, mirror and a leader.

An ideal teacher should be a light bulb that always makes every corner clear.
He must know a little of everything because this will help him explain and lighten up
any complicated theories and vague scenarios to his learners. As a teacher also, he is
Steven B. Duclayan tasked to intensify the interest of the learner’s genuine love of learning just like a light-
President, STA ed bulb illuminating a dark empty room to a well painted one.

To be considered as an ideal teacher, he should also be a mirror. He should try his best to inculcate the value
of appreciating oneself to his learners because this is the gateway to the holistic development. Remember that teach-
ers are just doors to change; the learners must be the one to enter to make himself a better individual just like a wom-
an putting a make-up on her face in front of a mirror to make herself beautiful.

Above all, an ideal teacher should be a leader. His actions, words and wisdoms should influence and be imi-
tated by not only his learners under his class record but also to the people outside the four corners of his classroom.
Just like a leader, he should know how to be competitive in fighting for the real right, exposing the real truth and edu-
cating real fact just like our Dean Rosita P. Abubo who is being idolized and to be idolized by many future teachers to
come.

The teachers are the most silent workers in the community but they are indeed the most influential one. They
maybe only staying inside the four cornered classroom but their influences fly around the world. A lighted bulb, a
mirror and a leader, for me, this is what I see in an ideal teacher.

4th CE Foundation Day celebrated
The University Pres. Atty.
Benjamin P. Sapitula in his inspira-
tional speech said, “I did not only
share my experiences in DMMMSU
but also shared some tips to be
globally competitive not only for
teachers but also for the students.”
On the second day, the CE
faculty went to UNP, Vigan City,
Ilocos Sur for “bench marking.” The
event went smoothly and successful-
ly within the two-day celebration.
The battle for global com-
petitiveness in the academe is ON!
Therefore, the competitive chal-
lenge facing the CE is real and
growing with each passing day. As
our college moves from a traditional
into an innovation-driven stage, we
can only sustain higher excellence
and higher global competitive-
ness if we are able to compete by
providing new or unique institution-
al strategies.

more importantly, craft insti-

Math instructor was the first
resource speaker who talked about
the conduct of an action research.
She reiterated the importance of
action research particularly in re-
sponding to an immediate need for
improvement of existing policies.
The salient parts of an action re-
search was mentioned in her discus-
sion, the rationale, statement of the
problem, hypothesis and the signifi-
cance of the study were smoothly
explained. The focus of her presen-
tation however, was on the strate-
gies or course of action, intervention
measures and activities to be done
to give solution to the existing situa-
tion.

facilitated in con-
ducting an actual
workshop on craft-
ing an action re-
search. All the fac-
ulty members were
tivity. Everybody
were asked to determine a known
problem in the college and were
later interviewed what possible so-
lutions could be undertaken to re-
solve such issues.
After gauging the readiness
of everyone in terms of the conduct
of an action research, Mr. Jomar
Aban presented the steps in re-
search proposal making based on
the standards set by the Department
of Science and Technology as
adapted by DMMMSU. The speaker
suggested that research proposals
must never start by crafting a title;
instead, a paradigm must first be
polished before one can jumpstart
in doing a research proposal. The
research paradigm covers what the
researcher wants to accomplish and
what necessary steps he or she
plans to do which is why it is the
paradigm is ruled to be more im-
portant than the title as far as the
proposal is concerned. Other im-
portant parts of the proposal include
the annual plan, the operation plan,
the capsule proposal form and the
detailed proposal form.

A well-written proposal is
just the beginning of a rocky road
that one must painstakingly under-
take before finally coming up with a
scholarly work. Another barrier that
we should take into account is data
analysis. A good research has a well
-interpreted, well-discussed and
well-analyzed empirical data. To
guide each concerned faculty and
stakeholders of the College of Edu-
cation, Dr. Nora Oredina shared her
expertise in Data Analysis. She con-
cisely discussed how t-test, ANOVA,
and softwares such as Microsoft Ex-
cel should be used to help a re-
searcher accomplish a particular
research task. Everybody was also
trained on how to interpret and fine-
ly discuss a table being presented
in the study.
Research, as everybody
would seemingly agree upon, is one
tough job. But, through each other’s
expertise and help, one can get
through this challenging task. A task
that aims not just to accomplish a
research proposal, a task that envi-
sions not just a completed research,
but a task that leads the College of
Education through a premier and
research-oriented institution with
faculty, administrators and students
that are well-versed and are capa-
ble of doing policy-driven research-
es and scholarly works.

Promoting Comradeship through Sports

Getting involved in sports
activities provides an avenue in
building solidarity among play-
ers.
During the DMMMSU faculty
Olympics, teachers come together
to give their best and to showcase
their talents and they share a part of
themselves in the success of a ven-
ture. They also put in mind that they
just play for fun and this makes them
aware that winning isn’t the main
goal in every sports and loosing a
game doesn’t mean defeat. Just en-
joy and have fun!
Through involvement in
sports we learn out the importance
of key values such as respect for
others, honesty, fair play and team
work. Team sports give us the op-
portunity to be less selfish and to
think of other people; defeat shy-
ness by putting them into circum-
stances where they need to speak
with others and of course to deal
with losing as well as winning. We
learn that things are not going to go
their way, or the team’s way all the
time. Being defeated doesn’t lessen
one’s personality since it is a learn-
ing experience that could develop a
person into a pleasing individual.
Many people’s confidence
improves through sports as they find
out things that they are good at and
enrich their body. Likewise partici-
pating also improves our ability to
handle pressure and still perform well
as well as teaching us how to win or
lose graciously. All in all, the fact that
playing sport is good for us is com-
pletely undeniable because it helps
our minds and bodies and eventually
means that we will be living longer,
happier lives.
