Heritage month, celebrate islands week 10^th edition , 9^th paschr conference

Edm 201 2017 GDCE 2018  EdM 201 2020/ BCAEd 1  EdM 201 2023

Pre-pandemic/ pandemic/ near normal

 

Non-negotiable/s        lesson exemplars, teaching demo

Negotiables                 proposals, pubmats

 

We have at least three reasons for celebration: one for national heritage month (NHM) every May of each year,  another for the 10^th edition of Celebrate Islands Week during May 10 to 17 and lastly, for the 9^th Philippine Association for the Study of Culture, History and Religion (PASCHR). Considering the three reasons, we have one more reason to celebrate, the culmination of 3^rd reiteration of Socio-Cultural Foundations of Education at Marinduque State College (MSC) Graduate School. EdM 201 is a foundation course for every MSCian graduate student who is taking up MAEd. I first had the opportunity to handle the class in 2017 with pioneering graduate students and some who would pursue a Graduate Diploma in Cultural Education (GDCE). By 2018, MSC had its GDCE Marinduque Batch 1 with half of the teacher-scholars are from MSC and the rest from Marinduque National High School (MNHS). This was also the time for the 1^st batch of the Bachelor of Culture, Arts Education (BCAEd). It was only in 2020, during the occasion of the Marinduque centennial and slight prior the pandemic. By then, we’re able to complete one batch of GDCE and started a new batch for Mindoro and Romblon. In between the Batch 1 and 2 of GDCE, the pioneering batch of BCAEd have graduated. This brings us to the third reiteration of EdM 201 which we are holding the culmination for.

 

At this point, the Socio-Cultural Foundations of Education have been offered beyond MSC and now in Eastern Quezon College (EQC) in Gumaca. Like the courses I have supervised before, there are non-negotiable and negotiable requirements. For the non-negotiable deliverables are the lesson exemplars and teaching demo. Moving from EdM201 and the wealth of experience from GDCE, in particular in CulEd 206L Local Cultural Mapping and CulEd 209: Culture-based Lesson Exemplars we’re able to draw contextualized lessons for basic, junior/ senior high school and even higher learning. On the other hand, we also have some negotiable requirements for one reason or the other when the adult learner have difficulties with complying. During this third reiteration of EdM201, we’ve introduced 120 second videos inspired by the Celebrate Islands and some pubmats for NHM and Malikhaing Guro.

 

I have the honor and privilege to distill valuable lessons and insights for the next edition of EdM 201 beyond Marinduque, in Quezon to serve as a beacon of light and guide post for the next generation of changemakers, innovators and creatives in terms of lifelong learning. My salute and utmost gratitude, consistent with the theme of NHM, “change and continuity” to EQC MAEd students for a semester worth our while.

EdM 201: Socio-Cultural Foundations of Education

Marinduque Island Innovation on local history, cultural studies and religious traditions/heritage education

 

Abstract

The island of Marinduque is the heart and geodetic center of the Philippine archipelago. Primarily, it is known for two reasons: one is because of the colorful Lenten rites and two due to the mine tailings disaster. Since early 19^th century when the moryonan tradition took shape as syncretism of Philippine religious belief in 1807 with Fr. Dionisio Santiago’s reenactment of St. Longinus conversion to Christianity and eventual beheading. Fast forward to the 1960s, when a couple of transnational mining companies operated in the province and its demise by 1990s with the collective action of the locals and townsfolks against the corporations. It has been a sacred pact or panata to keep the moratorium to extractive industries. With these backdrop, an emergent alternative is molding the future of the island. Creative Innovation through local history with the republication of Local History of Marinduque and the Battles of Paye with Pulang Lupa during the centennial celebration which coincided with the covid19 pandemic. Likewise, with the permutation of cultural studies and lifelong pedagogies, the graduate school and the community-based outcomes produced some local culture profiles in Gasan and Santa Cruz, likewise a collaboration with Marinduque and Quezon in time for the 500 years of the circumnavigation of the globe and the beginnings of Christianity. Finally in terms of belief systems and worldviews, Marinduque is known as the Lenten mecca of the Philippine archipelago. With the localized observation of lent and the Holy Week focused on the iconic Moryonan rites or popularly known as moriones festival . This ongoing discussion hopes to provide an axis of history, culture and religion as part of island and archipelagic heritage studies. The outcomes of the investigation is a creative innovation of existing and desired, preferred futures hopefully viable to other islands in/ and the archipelago.
