The College of Education (CoEd) recently conducted the Siento Benteng Lektura series titled “Shaping the Future of Higher Education Through Micro-credentialing,” held in Bulwagang Balagtas at 9:00 AM.
The Siento Benteng Lektura series aims to deepen the understanding and appreciation of various educational topics as part of the university’s 120th founding anniversary celebration.
Dr. Greg Pawilen from the University of the Philippines Los Baños, the guest speaker, discussed how micro-credentialing allows students to pursue professional learning and development through flexible schedules and modes of learning. This approach offers a shorter, competency-based learning period, aligning with the specific needs of various fields.
Micro-credentialing was presented as a method that facilitates easier and more effective knowledge acquisition. It brings the university experience to students while simultaneously integrating professionals into the academic environment. This reduces the gap between learners and their learning opportunities.
During the Q&A session, both in-person attendees and participants via Zoom raised questions about the potential challenges and the recognition of micro-credentials in the country. Dr. Pawilen addressed these concerns, providing promising responses and highlighting the potential of micro-credentialing in enhancing higher education.
The lecture was also attended by participants from various campuses of PUP.
