 History of the Romblon State University

The Educational Development Act of 1972 paved the way to the opening of the
post-secondary curriculum. The school year 1974 was the year of fulfillment of the long-
cherished dream of the people. A two-year Associate in Agriculture Technology (AAT)
was offered in compliance with Memorandum Circular No. 8 series of 1974. Its initial
enrollment were twenty (25) students composing of fifteen (15) males and ten (10) 10
females.

Subsequently, on June 25, 1975, the Secretary of Education and Culture Hon.
Juan Manuel approved the offering of three (3) degree programs, namely: Bachelor of
Science in Agriculture, Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Education, and Bachelor of
Science in Home Technology, thus giving more challenges to the college, bringing about
positive changes in the economic life of the people of Romblon.

The demand for higher educational technologies and the quest for relevant
education to national development goal are imperative alternatives that could not be
ignored by the college authorities. In line with this, as early as 1978, the plan to convert
the Romblon Agricultural College into a State College was initiated. The Bill was signed
into law on May 18, 1983 by His Excellency Ferdinand E. Marcos, and became Batas
Pambansa Blg. 393. On September 30, 1983, ROMBLON STATE COLLEGE was
inaugurated.

From 1987 to 1999, Prof. Victorino L. Aquila served as the College President. His
administration focused on agricultural development. His untimely demise in January
1999 brought Dr. Ricardo C. Wagan as the College Caretaker who was also the
concurrent President of Laguna State Polytechnic College. Dr. Wagan brought about
infrastructure development and batted for conversion of teachers’ items into SUC’s. In
2001, Dr. Idella G. Formilleza became the President of the College. Her administration
centered on revolutionizing information technology by upgrading the IT facilities and
equipment of the College. It was also during her time when other tertiary education
institutions in the province were integrated into the Romblon State College as a system.

In October 2005, the administration of Dr. Jeter S. Sespeňe steered the direction
of the College to an almost complete turn. Under the blue-print called RSC Ten Point
Agenda, capsulized in the phrase, ‘RSC pushing aggressively for excellence,’ all
administrative and academic efforts were driven by an intense hunger for excellence and
an extreme thirst for attention in order that the region would recognize the promising

1
 potential of an institution in silence. The College has gradually gained exposure
and prominence in the areas of instruction, research extension and production.

Immediately upon his oath to office in 2005, Dr. Jeter S. Sespeňe revived the
quest and patiently followed up the earlier bill filed in Congress by former Congressman
Eleandro Jesus F. Madrona for the conversion of the College into a State University.

In 2007, HB 3265 was resurrected in Congress by Cong. Madrona through HB

1201. The new bill was almost similar to the first one except that it considered the
external campuses. Revisions were still made to HB 1201 and it became HB 5217 which
passed the Lower House on August 25, 2009. The counterpart bill in the Senate, SB
3079, was sponsored by Senators Mar Roxas, Francis Escudero III and Edgardo Angara.

The two bills, HB 5217 and SB 3079, were merged by the bicameral conference
committee of Congress. It was finally signed into law by Pres. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo
on October 14, 2009 as Republic Act No. 9721, an act establishing the ROMBLON
STATE UNIVERSITY.

` Ignited with the zeal of optimism, the College of Education of the Romblon State
University offers two academic programs: Bachelor of Elementary Education and
Bachelor of Secondary Education with the following specialization: English,
Mathematics, Science, Music, Arts, Physical Education & Health (MAPEH), Filipino and
Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE).

The two mentioned academic programs received its Level II Accreditation from
the Accrediting Agency of Chartered Colleges and Universities in the Philippines
(AACCUP) covering the dates commencing from December 16, 2010 to December 15,
2014.

The performance of its Licensure Examinations for Teachers (LET) has been
consistently exemplary each year. Reaping the hard labor of the College of Education, on
September 2013 national examinations for teachers, RSU made it to the pinnacle by
joining the prominent and elite universities and colleges in the entire country by
producing its first ever topnotcher for having landed number 6 by its graduate of humble
background.

Under the baton of new administration, innovations in teaching were proposed

highlighting on the premise of attaining excellence in education being the only university
in Romblon offering Teacher Education.

The offering and existence of Teacher Education is designed to cater the needs of
teachers in Romblon and nearby provinces.

Historical signing of R.A 9721, Her Excellency President Gloria

Macapagal Arroyo signed the University Charter of Romblon State
Oct. 14, 2009
University at Malacaňan Palace. Witnesses to the ceremonial signing
were Hon. Emmanuel X. Angeles, Ph. D. Chairman of the

4
 Commission on Higher Education (CHED), Hon. Jeter S. Sespeñe,
Ph.D. First University and Mr. Edison Chua of CHED.

Before SPC was integrated in 2001, the college used to offer two-year technical
course which until now is being offered as Certificate course. In 1997 the Sibuyan
Polytechnic College opened a BSIA course which brought the first and only batch of
graduates. Upon its first graduation the college was integrated to Romblon State College
and the BSIA course was changed to BSIE with its majors. Until the RSU administration
changed the curriculum into two Education courses such as Bachelor of Secondary
Education and Bachelor of Elementary Education by virtue of CMO 30. s. 2004.

From the first batch of graduates, the Education department was very successful
in producing licensed teachers every year of its quest for quality graduates. The
Department upheld the regulation that it has to be selective in accepting students in the
two courses. This has been a challenge to both the enrollees and the department.

The number of licensure (LET) passers has its proof by sending its graduates in
the Elementary and Secondary schools in the District of San Fernando and Sibuyan as a
whole.

The 85% lowest grade entry of the students to the course proved its capabilities in
passing the licensure examinations every year.

The latest was a surprising result of the September 27, 2015 LET exam when for
the very first time in the country that a campus was able to produce a top 10 graduate in a
licensed course. The campus takes pride with Miss Ronellie R. Rivera who got the
seventh place in the records of the Professional Regulation Commission.

Every year since 2012 the department was able to produce Magna Cum Laude
graduates all of whom including the Cum Laude passed the LET exams.

Lately the BSEd course was accredited Level I by the AACCUP in December
2015. The BEEd has the best chances of accreditation because of its percentage of
passing and the 7th place in the last LET examination.

During the school year 2012 -2013 Bachelor in Technical Teacher Education
(BTTE) was proposed and approved by the Board of Regents and was awarded
Government Authority No. 003 s. 2012. This year it turned out its first graduate and
every year there is a surge in the enrollment list.

The BTTE course is under the Teacher Education Department and Technology
Dept. The academic loads of the BTTE students and practice teaching is under the
supervision of the TED while the industry immersion and on the job training of the
students are supervised by the Technology Department.

Probation – any student who, at the end of the semester obtains final grades
below “3” in 50 percent to 75 percent of the total number of academic units in
which she/he has final grades shall be placed on probation for the succeeding
semester and her/his load shall be limited to the extent to be determined by the
Dean. Probation may be removed by passing with grades of “3” or better in more
than 50 percent of the units in which she/he has final grades in the succeeding
semester;

below “3” in at least 76 percent of the total number of academic units in which

30
she/he receives final grades shall be dropped from the roll of her/his college or

Any student on probation who again fails in 50 percent or more of the total
number of units in which she/he receives final grades shall be automatically
dropped from the rolls of her/his college.

Any student who dropped from one college or school shall not be admitted to
another unit of the University, unless, in the opinion of the Director for Student
Affairs her/his natural aptitude and interest may qualify her/him in another field of
study, in which case she/he may be allowed to enroll in the proper

Permanent disqualification does not apply to cases where, on the

recommendation of the faculty member concerned, the faculty certifies that the
grades of “5” were due to the student’s unauthorized dropping of the subjects and
not to poor scholarship. However, if the unauthorized withdrawal takes place after
the mid-semester and the student’s class standing is poor, her/his grade of “5” shall
be counted against her/him for the purpose of this scholarship rule. The Dean shall
deal with these cases in their individual merits in the light of the recommendation of
the Director for Student Affairs; provided that in no case of re-admission to the
same or another college shall the action be lighter than probation.

In case a faculty member handles several sections and the interval between the
examinations is less than five (5) days, the reports of grades for the various sections shall
be submitted at the rate of one report at the end of every five-day period after each
examination; provided, that all reports of grade must be submitted not later that seven
days after the last day of the examination period. In justifiable cases, deviation from the
above rules may be authorized by the President.

No instructor may be required to furnish grades in any one course oftener than
twice a semester or term, in case the request comes from a college other than that to
which the instructor is attached.

No student of the University shall solicit directly or indirectly any grade from
her/his professor. Any student violating this rule shall lose credit in the subject’s
regarding which such solicitation is made, without prejudice to the filing of a case for
disciplinary action.

In the graduate course, the requirement for graduation shall either be a general
average grade of “2” or better in all formal courses except thesis, or a grade of “2” or
better in each formal course as the graduate college or school may require. If the student
fails to obtain grades which carry graduate credit as required by the particular graduate
college/campus, the University rules on scholastic delinquency shall be applied.

No faculty member shall degree change any grade after the report of grade has
been filed with the Secretary of the College. Where an error has been committed, the
instructor may, not later than six (6) months after submission of the grade, request
authority from the faculty of the College to make the necessary changes; provided, that
the student shall be informed and given a chance to be heard by the College faculty if the
change requested is to a grade lower than the one previously given. A faculty member
may also request a change of grade upon present action of the student concerned within
thirty (30) days from the student’s receipt of the final grade and upon clear proof of error.
If the request is granted, a copy of the resolution of the faculty authorizing the change
shall be forwarded to the Office of the University Registrar for recording and filing.

38
Notwithstanding the foregoing provision and to avoid any injustice, the grade on a final
examination paper may be revised by the committee of the dean of the college, if it
should clearly appear, on the basis of the quality of the scholastic record of the student,
that such grade is the result of an erroneous appreciation of the answers or of an arbitrary
or careless decision by the faculty member concerned. Should the change of the grade on
said paper affect the final grade of the student the committee may request authority from
the faculty of the college to make the necessary change in the final grades.
Reconsideration shall be made only upon request by the student concerned within thirty
(30) days after receipt of the final grade.

On-The-Job Training/Internship/Practicum

Purpose:

The Teacher Education Department, and the many students who have already
graduated with teaching credentials from its Teacher Education Program, are aware of the
contributions of the public school teachers, principals, and the public school systems and
the contribution of their time, efforts, and advice to the program.

The opportunity to take full responsibility for a class can provide an important
learning experience for students. During the Pre-serving teaching, mentor teachers may
ask Pre-service Teachers to accept duty of care for the class. In this case it is important

45
that Pre-service Teachers are familiar with contingency plans should they experience
difficulties while taking classes on their own.

Pre-service Teachers will be supported by both coordinator and cooperating

teacher during their Teaching Internship. They will guide Pre-service teachers as to better
teaching path.

All Pre-service Teachers are unique and during the Professional Internship, each
will confront issues that they may not have experienced before. It is quite common that
some or all of the following tensions may arise during the longer placement. Being aware
of these issues may go some way to addressing them.

The transition from short Teaching Experience placements to the longer version
can represent a challenge for some students. Keeping track of paperwork and the other
additional duties required of Pre-service Teachers may prove stressful. Mentor Teachers
can alert Pre-service Teachers to the necessity of effective organization and suggest
strategies they may use to facilitate this.

Issues associated with behavior management are referred to in several units that
Pre-service Teachers undertake. Essentially, approaches to behavior management center
on several themes:

 Understanding of behavior management policies that operate in the school

 Proactive approaches including the importance of careful lesson planning and
ensuring a physically and emotionally safe learning environment
 Establishing a respectful rapport with all students
 Awareness of all members of the classroom
 Providing clear expectations and consequences
 Low key interventions
Given that learners will learn in different ways in different contexts, it is
important that Pre-service Teachers implement a wide range of suitable pedagogies while
on Professional Experience. In an environment where there is the support of the mentor
teacher it is Murdoch’s position that Pre-service Teachers should take calculated risks
and show initiative when designing learning experiences. They should be encouraged to
be appropriately creative in the approaches they use to teach content or skills and use
‘real’ examples or vicarious experiences to assist learning.

It is assumed that all Pre-service Teachers will reflect on the innovative

strategies they use and be able to articulate ways they can improve. Mentor Teachers can
play an important role by encouraging Pre-service teachers to plan and implement student
centered pedagogies.

Faculty members automatically assume supervisory responsibility when they open

any school facility for students, graduates, or outsiders.

All student meetings for co-curricular activities before, during, or after school
must have the coach or faculty moderator present. No group of students may be allowed
to use any school facility without a faculty member being present.

No teacher is allowed to keep an entire class after school without specific and
prior permission of the Deans’ office. Individual students may be asked to remain after
class or after school for specific reasons, for any reasonable length of time.

In-Breeding Policy
Most leading universities of the world, including the best Institutes of India
have an explicit or implicit policy of not including their own students into the faculty. To
avoid such in-breeding, the CED will follow the following policies:

1. Candidates who have obtained or are expected to obtain their most recent degree (Ph.D.
or M.A.) from the College will normally not be considered for recruitment, except where

58
there is a 3 year- gap (approximately) between leaving the Institute and the expected date
of joining.

2. This is not applicable to candidates who are already members of the faculty, either
regular or on contract, and are pursuing a higher degree in the University.

3. In special cases, where the department or the Selection Committee feels that an
exception needs to be made (for reasons such as severe shortage of faculty in a given
academic field or exceptionally brilliant candidate or any other), the reasons for such
exceptions are to be recorded in writing and put up to the Faculty Selection Board (FSB)
for approval. The Board, if convinced, may confirm the selection. Such appointments will
not serve as precedence.

RESEARCH AND EXTENSION PROGRAMS

RESEARCH

I. INTRODUCTION

The University Research Extension Training (RET) Office of Romblon

State University (RSU) is the official arm of the institution in carrying out the
University’s second function as a Higher Education Institution (HEI). The
University aims an interdependent approach on the three functions of HEIs
namely: Instruction, Research and Extension; to make these three (3) functions
responsive to the social, cultural, economic, and development needs at the local,
regional, and levels.
As a State University, RSU envisions to continuously quest for
information, knowledge generation, and development of new and excellent ideas
essential for the betterment of the Romblon province, our nation in particular and
the world in general. It employs strategic solutions to create a research climate
conducive for learning, foster research interest and confidence and sustain the
enthusiasm of faculty members through varied research capability-building
seminars, workshops, presentations, and publications.
The URC serves as the university’s clearing house for research and
development and facilitates formulation of research agenda and themes,
implementation, monitoring, assessment and evaluation. It also provides direction
in carrying out research programs guided with intellectual and moral principles,

66
 scientific and technological values, and respect to cultural differences,
encouragement of multi and inter-disciplinary collaboration, and promotion of
scholarship and service to community.
The University Research and Extension Center (UREC) was established in
2009 by virtue of Republic Act No. 9721 that mandated to undertake research and
extension services and to provide progressive leadership in its areas of
specialization. The institution made a breakthrough and provided an impetus in
consolidating research activities of the different colleges and in formulating the
University Research Guidelines and Research Agenda.
Creation of the University Research Center (URC) generates research
programs that help enhance the competency of faculty and staff to conduct
valuable researches, application of findings, dissemination of information and
technologies, publications, and benefit to communities. The programs and
services of the URC include institutional researches, external research programs,
research education and implementation assistance, research disseminations, and
policy formulation and implementation. Successful implementation of capability-
building programs increases faculty involvement in research. Research outputs
were disseminated through the internet, brochures, newsletters, research journals,
and symposia. Technologies generated in R&D programs were utilized by local
communities. The students and teachers collaborations help improve laboratory
facilities, development of instructional materials, and improvement of university
services.
