This activity trains teachers who coach high school students participating in mathematics competitions such as the Philippine Mathematical Olympiad (PMO). The Institute has been actively involved in training students for the International Math Olympiad (IMO). It was observed that PMO winners usually come from private schools, and these students have been trained by professionals. The Institute aims to make quality training accessible to coaches especially from public schools in the provinces.
This training seeks to upgrade the quality of mathematics teachers in our country through trainings/workshops on the content and pedagogy of high school and college-level mathematics. It aims to enhance their knowledge and improve pedagogy and mathematical skills. With the K-12 basic education reform, this training has since been offered to high school teachers, whereas it has only been available to college instructors previously.
Consistent with the name “Kapnayan”, the Tagalog term for chemistry, this project enables concept development and promotes chemistry appreciation by linking chemistry to scientific experimentation, research applications, livelihood opportunities, health and nutrition, and environment preservation to high school students through complimentary annual workshops by the senior and junior faculty of the Institute of Chemistry.
KaSaMa Teachers Online Community was conceived as a strategy to bridge the gap between UP NISMED and the Filipino science and mathematics education community, with the goal of improving science and mathematics education in the country. KaSaMa Teachers stands for an online bayanihan driven by a genuine desire to support and empower teachers, hence the tagline “An online community of science and mathematics educators who strive for excellence through innovation and collaboration”.
This lectures seek to update science and mathematics teachers, administrators, educators, students, and the general public on the latest trends and innovations in science and mathematics education.
The stargazing activities are offered by UP NISMED to groups of 50 to 100 students upon request of the school/organization. It seeks to provide opportunity for students and teachers to understand Earth and Space Science topics using telescopes by conducting lectures right under the night sky. It also allows students and teachers to observe astronomical phenomena such as eclipse and meteor showers.
The Chemical Engineering Analytical Laboratory performs routine tests and customized services for the measurement of physical and chemical properties using analytical equipment.
By the end of this course, participants are expected to have acquired knowledge on the basic principles of instrumentation and control. They must have also learned to appreciate and be aware of the value of instrumentation and control in industrial operations. Participants will learn of the proper techniques and guidelines in the proper selection, maintenance and troubleshooting of measurement and control instruments and their components, as well as how to evaluate and update existing controls and measurement systems in their plants.
Conceptualized and developed in 2011, this radio program seeks to provide additional information to deepen and update teachers’ knowledge and skills on new strategies, ideas, and approaches to teaching science and mathematics in the elementary and secondary school levels.
This program seeks to develop a chemical emergency and response plan and to train communities in conducting/implementing the plan.
