This document outlines the Dropout Reduction Program (DORP) implemented by the Department of Education in the Philippines. The DORP aims to reduce school dropout rates and improve learning outcomes through formal, non-formal and informal approaches. It has several strategic components, including the Open High School Program, Effective Alternative Secondary Education, and School Initiated Interventions. The DORP supports schools' regular class programs and is designed to help schools achieve their goals of producing functionally literate graduates. It provides interventions for students at risk of dropping out to prevent them from leaving school and helps retrieve students who have left school.
The Drop-out Reduction Program (DORP) is an intervention program implemented in Philippine schools to reduce high dropout rates and improve learning outcomes. It aims to ensure every Filipino has access to quality basic education. Specific objectives include reducing and eliminating school dropout, increasing retention and achievement for students at risk of dropping out. The program utilizes formal, non-formal and informal approaches and components include the Open High School Program, Effective Alternative Secondary Education, and School Initiated Interventions. Critical factors for successful implementation include committed leadership, trained implementers, availability of materials, and stakeholder participation and support.
The Dropout Reduction Program (DORP) aims to reduce high dropout rates and improve learning outcomes in public and private schools using formal, non-formal and informal approaches. It seeks to provide every Filipino with quality basic education to equip them with literacy and knowledge for growth. DORP has specific objectives like reducing and eliminating school dropout, increasing retention and achievement rates, and increasing schools' capacity to establish, implement, monitor and improve the program. It is underpinned by assumptions about addressing the causes of dropout, involving stakeholders, and satisfying student needs.
The document discusses the Open High School Program (OHSP) in the Philippines as an alternative mode of secondary education using distance learning. The OHSP aims to provide access to education for those unable to attend regular classes due to issues like physical impairment, work, distance, or financial difficulties. It allows students to learn independently through self-paced modules and interact periodically with teacher facilitators. To participate, students must pass a readiness assessment and sign a learning contract. Evaluation includes written and oral tests, and students must master at least 75% of competencies to promote or 90% to accelerate. For the program to succeed, students must be ready for self-directed learning and the school/community must support rigorous monitoring of student progress.
The Drop-out Reduction Program [DRP] is a project proposal of the DepEd - Tagbina I and II Districts as a way of resolving the problems encountered during the Municipal Transition Planning - Part I based on the Social Welfare Indicators [SWI] prepared by the LSWD.
Mother Tongue Based - Multilingual Education (MTB-MLE) in PhilippinesDåLé Rǝnomǝron
This document discusses mother tongue-based multilingual education (MTB-MLE) in the Philippines. It defines key terms like mother tongue and multilingual. MTB-MLE uses the children's mother tongue in the classroom to facilitate learning Filipino and English. The goals are to develop cognitive skills to operate in different languages, and to preserve Philippine culture. The Department of Education implemented MTB-MLE for 12 languages, and recently added 7 more dialects. Benefits include reduced dropout rates, repetition, and increased student attendance and learning. Not using the mother tongue can lead to learning difficulties and loss of heritage language and culture.

Navigating the Information-scape: Do Information Visualization Activities Imp...mabrowne
Presentation slides from LOEX of the West 2012 in Burbank, California. Abstract: Identifying appropriate keywords is an essential component of information research. However, many students struggle with translating topics into effective search syntax. This session will describe our study exploring the use of information visualization strategies to help students generate terms for database searching. We compared three pedagogies for identifying and displaying keywords with a control condition, and measured their impact on search behaviors in a sample of 50 undergraduate students. We will share the findings of our qualitative and quantitative data analysis, and discuss their implications for library instruction sessions.
This document discusses a project to develop a strategic understanding of digital literacies during critical transition periods for students, supported by internal and external stakeholders. The project aims to [1] support digital literacies and graduate attributes, [2] enhance transition moments, [3] link digital literacies to curriculum design, [4] foster discovery of digital literacies, and [5] support staff and students. Three key ideas are [1] forming an intrauniversity research group, [2] creating a digital literacies community, and [3] identifying and supporting student transitions. Survey results on digital literacies are presented across three levels of a degree program.
This document describes the "Real Deal" approach to information literacy (IL) instruction and assessment. It focuses on being info-centric rather than library-centric, understanding students' existing search habits and preferences, exploring concepts like filter bubbles and plagiarism, and using authentic assessment like student portfolios and rubrics mapped to learning outcomes. Results show 77% of students met or exceeded expectations on an IL achievement test, and levels of meeting expectations increased from freshman to junior year. The "Real Deal" approach asks librarians to focus on preparing students for any information environment, not just the library.
This document describes the "Real Deal" approach to information literacy (IL) instruction and assessment. It focuses on being info-centric rather than library-centric by understanding students' existing search habits and the wider information landscape. Authentic assessment mirrors the reflective curriculum through evaluation of reflective writing and portfolios. Results show that the class of 2012 exceeded expectations in overall IL achievement and developmental growth from their first to last year. The "Real Deal" approach asks librarians to focus on enabling students' lifelong success in any information environment, not just skills for individual assignments.
From Bletchley Park to modern computing: the value of TwitterSue Black
Bletchley Park is the historic site of secret British codebreaking activities during World War II and the work carried out there by Alan Turing and others led to the birth of the modern computer. How did we get from Bletchley Park to modern software engineering? Dr Black will discuss how the use of social media can leverage capability in very diverse areas, from campaigning for a historical site to improving the quality of software.

Everyday patterns in lifelong learners to build personal learning ecologiesbtabuenca
This article presents the results from a questionnaire filled out by 147 lifelong learners. The primary aim of the questionnaire is to analyse learning practices of adults, and to recognize patterns of lifelong learners in order to support them with technology. These patterns capture the context in which lifelong learners are more willing to learn, that is, the day of the week, duration, location, activity being performed, type of device being used, way to interact with their devices and how these aspects can affect when an adult student takes the initiative to learn. Moreover, this article examines previous publications on surveys, questionnaires and information collected with the same objective, to corroborate and contrast the findings. The contribution of this paper is identifying and describing patterns in which lifelong learners are more willing to build personal learning ecologies when supported by mobile devices.
The documents present survey results about attitudes towards school over time. Some key findings include:
- The most popular teacher type was enthusiastic, while alternative teachers were the least liked.
- Older respondents reported teachers using physical punishment more, while younger people experienced extra homework as punishment more.
- The majority view is that teacher status has declined compared to the past, or depends on the individual teacher.
- Younger people saw modern school programs as more interesting, while older people felt there was less discipline now than in the past.
The document summarizes data from a survey of further education (FE) and higher education (HE) students about factors influencing their course choice. For both groups, course content was the most important initial factor when thinking about courses. Location, facilities, and resources were also very important. Over 30% of FE students and 33% of HE students reported that some factors they initially saw as important or unimportant changed as they got closer to deciding. Meeting the course team was seen as very or fairly important by both groups.

Student Learning with Reusable Learning Objectsdgatenby
Reusable learning objects (RLOs) are self-contained, web-based units that can be reused for teaching content. This document discusses how the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth is using RLOs to provide students anytime access to course content and assessments to improve information literacy skills. Library staff and instructional designers have collaborated to develop several tutorial RLOs on topics such as primary vs. secondary sources and citation skills. Student surveys found that the majority of students found the RLOs useful and that their research assignments improved as a result. However, developing high-quality RLOs is a time-intensive process and faculty need guidance on integrating them effectively.

The long song and the panopticon: open access, universities and cultural hege...CILIP ARLG
The document is a presentation by Gareth Johnson from Nottingham Trent University on his research into open access and cultural hegemony in UK universities. The research aims to understand why UK academics are reluctant to engage with open scholarship concepts and identify influence actors and cultural barriers. The research uses qualitative methods like interviews and case studies of UK institutions. Preliminary findings suggest academic knowledge of open access has gaps but is improving, and funder mandates have increased senior management priority on open access while practitioners experience a loss of idealism. Scholarly societies are most commonly identified as opponents of open access. The presentation calls for further exploration of influence actor relationships and differences between university types.

Stretching the envelope: how to make ourselves indispensable by Jon Purcell, ...CILIP ARLG
Jon Purcell, University Librarian and Director of Heritage Services at Durham University, presented on how libraries can make themselves indispensable by stretching what they offer. He discussed the importance of this topic given Durham University's strategic planning. Libraries have expanded their roles beyond traditional services and must demonstrate their relevance through alignment with institutional goals and student/staff engagement. Purcell outlined techniques for libraries to future-proof themselves, including benchmarking, scenario planning, and ongoing service development. The best way to predict the future is to help invent it, and libraries must prove they are indispensable by doing what nobody else can or being trusted to do what they do.

A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
