Training Workshop on GAD The Commission on Higher Education conducted a training workshop on “Gad

Integration in the Curriculum, Research and Extension.” Attendees to the said activity

came from different HEIs in Cavite. The CCT sent its representatives composed of Dr.

Josefina Rint, Mrs. Evangeline Pamintuan, Mr, Alex Tatangco and Ms. Flordeliza

Castillo. The resource speakers composed of Dr. Nelia Cresino (CvSU), Assoc. Prof.

Maria Theresa Hernandez (BSU) Ms. Reinifer Francisco (CHED) and Dr. Ruby Dizon

(LSPU).

The participants were first oriented on the operation of the CvSU GAD Resource

Center followed by a lecture on GAD orientation and Introduction to Gender Analysis

by Dr. Nelia Crecino. After giving a lecture on GAD integration in Research, by Prof.

Hernandez, the participants were challenged to prepare a simple GAD related research

proposal within 30 minutes that include title, objectives, limitation, and methodology.

The group came up with a research proposal entitled: “Gender- based Productive,

Reproductive and Community Activities: Basis in the Formulation of Workload

Policies for Teachers.”

The integration of GAD related extension services was presented by Dr. Dizon using

the actual extension activities generated by the LSPU. In one of their extension

activities, Dr. Dizon showed how the non-working women were empowered by

teaching sewing that led them to produce rags from waste materials which expanded

to sewing of school /sports uniforms, fashionable shirts, dresses and ternos to a point

that the empowered women established a successful cooperative.

For GAD integration in curriculum, the participants were tasked by Ms. Francisco to

bring with them course syllabus showing how GAD is integrated in the subject. In case

of CCT participants, GAD topics are already included in the Social Dimension and in

Peace and Global Education for BSE students. Jrrint
