Two graduate students from the University of San Carlos School of Education (SEd) won as best oral presenters in the recently concluded 8th National Research Conference in Science and Mathematics Education held at Garden Orchid Hotel in Zamboanga City on November 10-11, 2022.
The conference was organized by the Department of Science and Technology Science Education Institute (DOST SEI).
Out of the 70 posters and 114 oral presentations from different categories, the top three presenters for each category were carefully judged and selected by a panel of science experts from the various member universities.
Faith Celeste B. Ole, a Ph.D. in Science Education major in Physics, won 2nd best presenter in the Teaching Development Capacity category with her dissertation entitled, 鈥淒esign, Implementation and Evaluation of a Professional Development Program on Formative Assessment based on Feedback Loop Model鈥� under the tutelage of her adviser Dr. Marilou R. Gallos.
Meanwhile, another Ph.D. in Science Education major in Physics graduate, Marie Khul C. Langub also won 3rd best presenter in the same category with her dissertation entitled, 鈥淒esign and Evaluation of a Professional Development Program on Technology Integration in Teaching Physics鈥� under the mentoring of Dr. Jocelyn R.
