RGEC Learning Outcomes (draft) Step 3: Answering practical issues arising from an inter-disciplinary approach
• Who teaches a subject since the subject is inter- or multi-disciplinal?
• How are teaching load units going to be counted?
• Can one teacher be qualified to teach all the components of one subject?
• Will departments lose out on their teaching loads? Will teachers have to be let go because of redundancy?

Step 3: Answering practical issues arising from an inter-disciplinary approach
• Who teaches a subject since the subject is inter- or multi-disciplinal?
Team Teaching. A Subject will be taught by more than one teacher. This would however require a syllabus the construction of which
should anticipate issues of conflict/contradiction and that would insure the desired integration
points (core messages).

Step 3: Answering practical issues arising from an inter-disciplinary approach
• How are teaching load units going to be counted?
Step 3: Answering practical issues arising from an inter-disciplinary approach
• How are teaching load units going to be counted?
Every semester (in ADDU) is divided into three grading periods. If each subject is three units,
each grading period may be counted as 1 unit. A gen ed subject may have up to three disciplines
involved without a problem in counting teaching load units. To maximize: the three components
of a subject should be interchangeable in the sequence of delivery.
Step 3: Answering practical issues arising from an inter-disciplinary approach
• Can one teacher be qualified to teach all the components of one subject?
Step 3: Answering practical issues arising from an inter-disciplinary approach
• Can one teacher be qualified to teach all the components of one subject?
Yes. This actually opens up the possibility that certain subjects may be inter- or multi-
disciplinal and yet it is taught by a single teacher. How can this be? Gen ed nga eh. What will be required are knowledge, skills, attitudes meant
to be acquired by all college graduates.
Step 3: Answering practical issues arising from an inter-disciplinary approach
• Will departments lose out on their teaching loads? Will teachers have to be let go because of redundancy?
Definitely. It depends. The reduction of the Gen Ed from about 60 to 36 will necessarily mean less subjects and less classes to teach. This
requires proper faculty planning even as far back as two years ago. This also requires an effort to
insure that the new Gen Ed subjects will give teaching units proportionately to the various
departments. Some things have to give.
