Sample Means of Curriculum Delivery The B.S. Criminology curriculum adheres to a learner-centered paradigm. It begins with clearly stated competencies students must acquire and demonstrate at the end of the four-year program. Appropriate teaching-learning strategies facilitate the acquisition of these competencies. Under this paradigm, students are the subject of the learning process enabling them to achieve their full potential. The teachinglearning process is interactive, participatory, collaborative and experiential. The teacher is a mentor, facilitator and collaborator. 8

9 The following methodologies/strategies may be used: Lecture / discussion Use of cooperative / active learning strategies such as games, role play, project-based learning, dialogues, journals, buzz sessions, brain storming, concept mapping, think-pair-share, counsel brainstorming exercise Return demonstration Scenario-thinking Exposure trip (local or international) Community/Industry immersion Self-assessment Reflective learning experience Case analysis Creation of individual learning portfolio Community/Industry mapping exercise Critique or reflections Partnership and linkage V. Sample Syllabi for Selected Core Criminology Courses The teaching and learning activities and assessment tasks should be constructively aligned towards the attainment of the course outcomes. Course outcome refers to what learners are expected to know and be able to do at end of the course. Teaching and learning activity refers to an activity or set of activities that will engage the student in achieving the course outcome. Assessment task refers to a tool that determines how well the student has met the course outcome. The OBE-compliant course syllabus should contain at least the following components: 1. General course information (title, description, credit units, prerequisite requirements) 2. Course outcomes and their relationship to the program outcomes. Course coverage that relates the course outcomes to topics covered, teaching and learning activities and assessment methods. Other information such as learning resources, classroom policies, grading system, etc. Refer to Table 2 for a sample OBE- compliant course syllabus. 9
