Goal: Form scholars
CHED RA 7722:Ensure and protect academic freedom for
the continuing intellectual growth, the advancement of learning and research, the development of responsible and
effective leadership, the education of high level professionals,
and the enrichment of historical and cultural
heritage.
Medium Term Development Plan: mobilizing knowledge to improve
productivity through generation, transfer and utilization of research outputs/technologies
Teaching: Scholarly inquiry by faculty and students
Tradition of Publication
Competencies of Students: Scientific thinking
Expectations from the faculty
Scholarly inquiry by faculty and studentsStudents do not depend on their
teachers to learn information, but they need to generate their own knowledge.
Teacher provide tools and methods for students to learn and students in turn use these tools to become independent learners.
Students become self-regulated
Students are self-regulated when they are: autonomous who control,
monitor, direct, and regulate their actions.
displaying motivation, goal-directed, and controlling their action.
Acquiring and judiciously apply positive learning strategies
Scholarly inquiry: Use the latest research findings to
explain various phenomenon Engage in a discussion of the latest
development in the field Predict and generate the next step
to theorizing
How do we facilitate scholarly inquiry? Access to scholarly
information like journals and published studies.

Requirements Appreciation, value, and utility of producing
scholarly work Recognize the work devoted in developing and
publishing a paper Faculty as good role models in producing
publications
Competencies being developed are geared in the pursuit of lifelong learning.
If we are in a research university students should develop scientific thinking (Magno, 2010). systematically exploring
the environment, constructing models as a
basis for understanding the evidence of it, and
revising those models as new evidence is generated
Scientific thinking involves (Magno, 2010):
Practical inclination - scientific thinking in ordinary living such as everyday reasoning, and math applications
Analytical interest - discover knowledge, and such thinking deals with concepts, hypotheses and theories, and abstractions
Intellectual Independence - the ability of a learner to make knowledge claims independent of the traditional authorities of the teacher and textbook
Discourse Assertiveness – building arguments and critical thinking
If we want to create a scholarly culture in a university, then we need to develop a thinking that allows practical inclination, analytical interest, intellectual independence, and discourse assertiveness.
The work of a higher education faculty should not be defined by their teaching load!!!
Proportional amount of work is given for teaching, research, and professional practice.
Recognize the diversity of work styles that characterizes an active faculty in pursuit of a creative work.
Produce publications, and profess the ideas published.

Problems: Some universities invest on their athletic teams but not in
funding the research of the faculty. No rewards correspond to a faculty’s publication. No time is given for a faculty to do research Teaching load is structured within a semester where a faculty
rarely has time to go out for field work.

We still need to acknowledge and create a system in the Philippine Universities that would allow the faculty and students to do research.
Needs to recognize that both teaching and research should go together
