Transforming learning and teaching towards humanizing learners' life.

Our Social Impact Challenge

Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA): In 2018, the Philippines scored lowest in Reading and second lowest in Mathematics and Science among the 79 participating countries.
Check out the country report on the Philippines. https://www.oecd.org/pisa/publications/PISA2018_CN_PHL.pdf

What are some of the findings?

68% of 15-year-olds took the test
Socio-economically advantaged students outperformed disadvantaged students in reading by 88 score points in the Philippines
Gender gap in reading in favor of girls (27 score points)
65% of students reported being bullied at least a few times a month
Girls expressed greater fear of failure than boys
Only 31% of students hold a growth mindset.

How are these findings explained?

Need for text, print, digital materials and internet; need for teacher modeling, shared practice towards independent practice; need to discern the credibility of a text .

Mission

Advancing digital capabilities for all Filipino educators and learners.

iLEARN, iCREATE, iSHARE: Digital Capabilities Framework

The iLEARN, iCREATE, iSHARE: a digital capabilities framework for Philippine educators provides the scaffolding for Kaisipan’s learning and teaching (L&T) approach. Our mission is digital capabilities for all educators. We define digital capabilities as a set of cognitive, technical, and humanizing competencies to use information and communication technologies (ICTs) to iLEARN, iCREATE, iSHARE.

• Cognitive competencies are mental competencies to acquire, interpret, and extrapolate knowledge, thoughts, and experience.

• Technical competencies go beyond office productivity to digital skills required of 21st-century teachers, including use of synchronous and asynchronous tools for L&T.

• Humanizing competencies include social-emotional learning (managing emotions, working with others, and achieving goals), developing a digital growth mindset, and integrating values in ICT education.
