We invite students from the University of Santo Tomas taking an undergraduate degree who have experienced any symptom or form of anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, and self-harm to participate in this study. The objective is to understand the contexts within the home and university setting that affect a student’s experience of these mental health issues. Our ultimate goal is to provide culturally sensitive guidance to policy-makers on effective interventions and programs for our students.

Mr. Jame Monren T. Mercado, an Academic Staff from the Department of Tourism Management, College of Tourism and Hospitality Management and a Faculty Research Associate under the Research Center for Social Sciences and Education of the University of Santo Tomas, delivered the culminating activity for his UST-funded research for A.Y. 2020-2021 last June 10, 2021 (Thursday) at Balay San Nicoleño, San Nicolas, Ilocos Norte. The research is entitled, Pamana sa Mata ng mga … Bata?: A Phenomenological Study on the Experiences of Student Tour Guides on Heritage Sustainability – The Case of San Nicolas, Ilocos Norte, Philippines. The research promotes the significance of encouraging the youth, specifically the students, to contribute to their local heritage and implement different programs and projects. It will also determine the youth sector’s perspective on balancing conservation, safeguarding, and rapid development in local heritages. In addition, several virtual meetings were implemented, such as focus group discussions and virtual doodling, to gather significant data and information. The participants were the nationally award-winning student tour guides of Museo San Nicoleño, advisers, and consultants.

During the culminating activity, updates on the research were presented to the primary and secondary stakeholders. There was also an awarding of certificates and tokens to its partner institutions and individuals. Assoc. Prof. Eric B. Zerrudo, the Director of the UST Graduate School – Center for Conservation of Cultural Property and Environment in the Tropics (GS-CCCPET), represented the UST administration during the awarding ceremony. The final presentation of the research output will be scheduled for August 2021.

The project is officially partnered with the Municipal Government of San Nicolas, Ilocos Norte, headed by Hon. Alfredo P. Valdez, Jr., MD, Department of Education (DepEd) Schools Division of Ilocos Norte District of San Nicolas, and the San Nicolas Elementary School, headed by Dr. Rolen A. Oracion.

The UST Research Center for Social Sciences and Education (RCSSED) just launched an online certificate program on teaching controversial issues and digital literacy for public school teachers.

This three-month certificate program is training 20 high school teachers on teaching digital literacy and social issues, the latter covering the role of citizens and of teachers in fostering democratic citizenship.

By the end of the certificate program, the 20 teachers coming from nine regions will make an instructional plan to teach controversial issues anchored on online tools, these being fitting to current flexible learning arrangements. All teacher-participants come from the public schools system.

This certificate program began last May 22 and will end on August 7. 

Some UST faculty members will mentor participants on digital literacy, while “democracy mentors” from universities in the United States, United Kingdom, Singapore and the Philippines will handle topics related to teaching controversial issues.

The program is among the projects in RCSSED’s funded project with Fondazione Gravissimum Educationis, a foundation under the aegis of The Vatican. The foundation is implementing a 14-country project titled “Democracy: an educational urgency in pluricultural and pluri-religious contexts,” which aims to promote democratic citizenship to teachers and to Catholic universities.

UST is one of two universities from Asia involved in the three-year project. Universities in the Fondazione Gravissimum Educationis project are called “antennas.”

RCSSED is handling the project led by Local Antenna Coordinator Dr. Allan De Guzman, RCSSED Director Dr. Belinda de Castro and research associate Dr Joel Adamos.
