There is a need for new pedagogical perspectives given the global realities:
A new generation of learners whose brains are wired differently.
Information now readily accessible to learners (internet, cell phones, etc.)
New results from Neuroscience An emerging worldwide lack of qualified
teachers in the STEM disciplines. Political pressure of international
assessments2
• Generally boil down to lecture style
• Foster passive learning• Learning too dependent
on abilities of the teacher
• Unprepared teachers indulge in homilies and irrelevant stories.
TRADITIONAL TEACHER-CENTERED METHODS:
Realization:
4
Lack of : • Qualified teachers• Textbooks• Lab equipment
are not core problems.
In a highly competitive globalized 21st century, focusing on these may be a needless use of time and resources that could be better spent elsewhere.
Bridging scientific research
and the classroom
The CVIF Dynamic Learning Program
(DLP)(Implemented since 2002)
The CVIF Dynamic Learning Program (DLP) applies a synthesis of classical and modern pedagogical theories adapted to foster the highest level of learning, creativity, and productivity for a wide spectrum of students.

New mindsets required
For Teachers: The duty of a teacher is not to
teach, but to enable students to
learn.
for Students and Their Families:
Students learn “how to learn” independently.

For all subjects, there is no introductory lecture before CVIF students do the learning activities (questions, problems, etc.).
Lectures and class discussion are done only about 1/4 of the time (the rest being allotted for written activities).

Writing the Activities activates boththe psychomotor and visual faculties of the brain.

The CVIF Dynamic Learning Program addresses:
Learner Disposition: Habit-forming Daily Protocol where students are engaged.
Lack of Qualified Teachers: Prepared Activities done independently by students 80% of the time.
Large Classes:Activities are individualized
Central Visayan Institute FoundationJagna, Bohol
This is developed by the routine of learning activities. At the end of the school year each student has written 150-200 pages of concept notes, drills, exercises, illustrations, etc, for each subject.

Enhancing creativity and originality through Strategic Study and Rest
periodsPEHM Days
(Wednesdays: no academic classes)No-homework policy
Advise from Health Experts:
The more profound reason for the Strategic Study and Rest is . . .
to facilitate reflection, deeper understanding, and processing of concepts learned during the day.
Central Visayan Institute Foundation, Jagna, Bohol, November 2006
Measures of outcomes
• The number of students who manifest learning through competency-based standardized exams.
• The depth of learning manifested by students.
Carpio-Bernido and Bernido, 2nd CVIF-DLP Workshop, 2011, Philippines
Jagna is a fourth class municipality
~ 95% of freshmen come from public elementary
schools. (The CVIF has no elementary.)
Liberal admission policy (All applicants passed
the entrance exam for several years.)
Current tuition is P 8,000 per student per year.

What may be remarkable is that:• The CVIF students have lectures and discussion
only 1/4, or even 1/5 of the time (typically equivalent to one period a week, the rest being allotted for written activities);
• They have no homework throughout their 4 years in high school;
• The portfolios and all activities cannot be brought home (returned to the students at the end of the year).

Rather than teacher-induced learning,
we propose process-induced learning
as a new paradigm.

Question:Can students learn essential physics topics
effectively even if their teacher has little or no background in physics?
Carpio-Bernido and Bernido, 2nd CVIF-DLP Workshop, 2011, Philippines33
Answer: Yes, but it would require technology and the appropriate strategy.
Strategy extracted from the Central Visayan Institute Foundation (CVIF) Dynamic Learning Program
(DLP) implemented since 2002.
