IX. Program Objectives

BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN SECONDARY EDUCATION

The BSEd is structured to meet the needs of professional teachers for secondary schools

in the Philippines through the basic knowledge, theories, principles, skills, values and training

as required by the teaching profession.

It aims to develop high school teachers who are:

1. Wise transmitter of organized knowledge as embodied in the different major fields ofspecialization and translated through the BSEd Curriculum.

2. Competent practitioners of teaching strategies which will encourage learners develop theirfull potentials and effect in them a positive outlook towards self-education.

3. Positive cultivators of desirable Filipino values, ideals and traditions which will serve assolid foundation for a sound citizenship and strong patriotic sense;

4. Progressive initiators of objectives and scientific outlook to promote technologicaldevelopment and realize the social and economic goals of the entire Filipino nation.

XI-Course Description:

This 108 hours course covers fundamental concepts of waves, mechanical properties of

matter (geometric and physical) and modern optics. It deals with the nature and propagation of

sound and light and the understanding of the dual nature of light. It also encompasses the

electromagnetic spectrum and the radioactive effects of nuclear reactions on biologicalprocesses of the living world.

XII. Course Objectives:

GENERAL OBJECTIVES

At the end of the course, the students must have:

a. Organized the conceptual processes of how sound and light are produced,propagated and made useful

b. Explained the physical processes that make up some important optical and soundinstruments.

c. Computed the rate motion of light and sound in certain mediad. Trace the nuclear transformation of some radioactive elements

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES

At the end of series of activities, the students must have:

a. Investigated the nature and propagation of light and sound wavesb. Conducted experiments to support fundamental concepts of light and sound wavesc. Familiarized the components of the electromagnetic spectrumd. Appreciate the importance of safety education against the harmful effects of

radiation

XIII. Core Values to be develop:

accountability sense of belongingness sense of responsibility

appreciation of beauty of nature love for arts and music

quest for unknown health and sanitation perseverance

accuracy and love for life
