Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education

Bachelor of Secondary Education (BSEd) is a four-year degree program designed to prepare students to become high school teachers. The program combines theory and practice to equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary for teaching different learning areas such as English, Mathematics, General Science, Filipino, Social Studies, Biological Sciences, Physics, Chemistry, Music, Arts, Physical Education and Health (MAPEH), and Home Economics and Livelihood Education.

Subjects and Curriculum

The BSEd curriculum contains Professional Education subjects classified into four major categories:

  • Theory and Concepts: Child and Adolescent Development, Social Dimensions of Education
  • Methods and Strategies: Principles of Teaching, Assessment of Student Learning
  • Field Study: Practice Teaching, Field Study
  • Elective Subjects: Teaching Multicultural Classrooms, Integrative Teaching Strategies

The first three years involve classroom discussions, oral recitations, role plays, and a weekly Major’s Forum where students review and communicate learning experiences, discuss current issues, and explore topics relevant to teacher education. During the fourth year, students undergo teaching internships in secondary schools under the supervision of their class adviser. Depending on their specialization, an undergraduate research paper may also be required for graduation.
