Strengthening
Institutional Capabilities
Project Rescue Initiatives for
Science Education (RISE)
To substantially increase the number of qualified science
and mathematics teachers at the elementary and secondary
level, a massive training program is implemented in
the Regional Science Teaching Centers (RSTCs) and other
selected teacher training institutions in the country.
The training is a non-degree program undertaken for
a period of 180 hours for the subject area the teacher
is to specialize in.
Faculty/Staff Development Program
for Teacher Educators of the Regional Science Teaching
Centers or RSTCs (Residential Program)
Teacher trainors in selected institutions are offered
scholarships for Ph.D. in Science Education. This is
to assure adequate quality faculty complement for in-service
training programs in science and mathematics education.
Alternative Approach to Faculty
Development Program (Distance Education)
An option offered to teacher educators in selected
institutions who would like to pursue a doctoral program
in science education at the University of the Philippines
via distance education mode.
Master's Program for Faculty
Members of Selected Teacher Education Institutions
The Institute provides graduate scholarships in science
education or other specific science subject areas to
teacher educators in selected teacher training institutions
particularly those serving the RSTC's.
Mobile Information Technology
Classroom
 The
learning of science and mathematics in school is enhanced
through the use of interactive courseware introduced
via a user-friendly program implemented using a 32-seater
fully-air-conditioned bus equipped with notebook computers
and audio-visual facilities with trained teachers as
facilitators. The MITC is a project which will address
the need to revolutionize the way science is taught
through a rationalized sharing of state-of-the–art
computer technology.

Development of Computer-Based Teaching
Modules in Science and Mathematics
Various projects were implemented to enhance science
learning through the use of IT. To complement the use
of the mobile IT bus, comprehensive training are given
to selected teachers of the recipient regions. Likewise,
local interactive courseware for high school science
and mathematics are produced and reproduced for distribution.
IT facilities are likewise provided as grant to selected
teacher training institutions and S&T-oriented high
schools.
Project Mindanao Upgrading of
Science Teachers (MUST)
Aimed at improving and enhancing the teaching capabilities
and competence of elementary science and mathematics
teachers of pupils of Muslim and ethnic communities
in Mindanao through teacher training, Project MUST is
conducted at the following Training Institutions in
Mindanao:
- Ateneo De Zamboanga University, Zamboanga City
- Western Mindanao State University (WMSU), Zamboanga
City
- Xavier University (XU), Cagayan De Oro City
- Ateneo De Davao University (ADDU), Davao City
- Notre Dame of Marbel University (NDMU), Koronadal
City, S. Cotabato
- Mindanao State University (MSU), Marawi City
- University of Southern Mindanao (USM), Kabacan,
N. Cotabato
A 90-hour non-degree training program, Project MUST
is designed to enhance content knowledge and to update
teaching strategies of science and mathematics teachers
from target schools in Mindanao.
