1 Republic of the Philippines Office of the President COMMISSION ON HIGHER EDUCATION HEDC Bldg., C.P. Garcia Ave., UP Campus, Diliman, Quezon City CHED MEMORANDUM ORDER No. Series of 2014 SUBJECT: POLICIES, STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES FOR THE BACHELOR OF ARTS in SOCIOLOGY (BA Socio) In accordance with the pertinent provisions of Republic Act (RA) No. 7722, otherwise known as the Higher Education Act of 1994, in pursuance of an outcomes-based quality assurance system as advocated under CMO 46 s. 2012, and by virtue of Commission en banc Resolution No. dated the following policies, standards and guidelines (PSGs ) are hereby adopted and promulgated by the Commission. ARTICLE I INTRODUCTION Section 1 Rationale Based on the Guidelines for the Implementation of CMO 46 s 2012, this PSG implements the shift to learning competency-based standards/ outcomesbased education. It specifies the core competencies expected of BA Sociology graduates regardless of the type of HEI they graduate from. However, in recognition of the spirit of outcomes-based education and... of the typology of HEIs, this PSG also provides ample space for HEIs to innovate in the curriculum in line with the assessment of how best to achieve learning outcomes in their particular contexts and their respective missions... ARTICLE II AUTHORITY TO OPERATE Sec. 2 Government Recognition All private higher education institutions (PHEIs) intending to offer BA Sociology must first secure proper authority from the Commission in accordance with these PSGs. All PHEIs with an existing BA Sociology program are required to shift to an outcomes-based approach based on these PSGs and must secure approval for such a shift. State universities and colleges (SUCs), and local colleges and universities should likewise strictly adhere to the provisions in these policies and standards. 1

2 ARTICLE III GENERAL PROVISIONS Sec. 3 The Articles that follow give minimum standards and other requirements and prescriptions. The minimum standards are expressed as a minimum set of desired program outcomes which are given in Article IV Section 6. The Technical Committee designed a curriculum to attain such outcomes. This curriculum is shown in Article V Section 8 as a sample curriculum. The number of units of this curriculum is here prescribed as the minimum unit requirement pursuant to Section 13 of RA In designing the curriculum the Technical Committee for Sociology employed a curriculum map which is shown in Article V Section 9 as a sample curriculum map. Using a learner-centered/outcomes-based approach the Technical Committee for Sociology also determined appropriate curriculum delivery methods shown in Article V Section 10. The sample course syllabi given in Article V Section 11 show some of these methods. Based on the curriculum and the means of its delivery, the Technical Committee for Sociology determined the physical resource requirements for the library, laboratories and other facilities and the human resource requirements in terms of administration and faculty (see Article VI). Sec. 4 The HEIs are allowed to design curricula suited to their own contexts and missions provided that they can demonstrate that the same leads to the attainment of the required minimum set of outcomes, albeit by a different route. In the same vein, they have latitude in terms of curriculum delivery and in terms of specification and deployment of human and physical resources as long as they can show that the attainment of the program outcomes and satisfaction of program educational objectives can be assured by the alternative means they propose. The HEIs can use the CHED Implementation Handbook for Outcomes- Based Education (OBE) and the Institutional Sustainability Assessment (ISA) as a guide in making their submissions for Sections 16, 17 and 18 of Article VII. These PSGs are based on the existing 10-year basic education system and on the existing GE program. They reflect the reform towards outcomesbased education but not the K12 Reform. The latter shall be addressed subsequently. 2

3 ARTICLE IV PROGRAM SPECIFICATIONS Sec. 5 Program 5.1 Degree Name. The degree name shall be Bachelor of Arts in Sociology (BA Socio). 5.2 Nature of the Field of Study. Sociology is the systematic study of social life, groups, societies, world systems, and virtual communities. As an academic discipline, Sociology focuses on the interplay between social structures and human agency. 5.3 Program Goals. The Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Sociology program produces graduates who will contribute to the production, interpretation, transmission, and application of knowledge generated from social research that is informed by economic, political, ecological, and socio-cultural trends in the local and global arena. It recognizes the role of competent training in social research towards multiculturalism and nation building. This program aims to give undergraduate students grounding in sociological theories or perspectives and research methodologies that will allow them to understand, analyze, and address social problems and issues. 5.4 Specific Professions/careers/occupations for graduates. Graduates of the BA Socio program could engage in teaching, research, development work in private and public entities (e.g., academic, corporate, government, local and international organizations), and/or pursue further advanced training. Sec. 6 Program Outcomes The minimum standards for the BA in Sociology program are expressed in the following set of learning outcomes: 6.1 Common to all programs in all types of schools a) The ability to engage in lifelong learning and understanding of the need to keep abreast of the developments in the specific field of practice. (PQF level 6 descriptor) b) the ability to effectively communicate orally and in writing using both English and Filipino c) The ability to work effectively and independently in multidisciplinary and multi-cultural teams. (PQF level 6 descriptor) d) A recognition of professional, social, and ethical responsibility e) An appreciation of Filipino historical and cultural heritage (based on RA 7722) 3

All core and elective courses should seek to integrate modules that will help achieve aforementioned outcomes (Refer to Section 10 Sample Curriculum Map, which shows how core and elective/cognate courses relate to these outcomes). 6.4 Common to a horizontal type as defined in CMO 46 s 2012: For professional institutions: a service orientation in one s profession For colleges: an ability to participate in various types of employment, development activities, and public discourses particularly in response to the needs of the communities one serves For universities: an ability to participate in the generation of new knowledge or in research and development projects Graduates of State Universities and Colleges must, in addition, have the competencies to support national, regional and local development plans. (RA 7722) A PHEI, at its option, may adopt mission-related program outcomes that are not included in the minimum set. 4

6 The subjects listed under the General Education courses shall automatically be considered as revised once a new CMO on General Education is issued by CHED, without the need for additional action on the part of the Technical Panel for Social Sciences and Communication/Technical Committee for Sociology. The Office of Programs and Standards (OPS) will issue an amendment to this CMO at such time to show the revised curriculum. Sociology courses may be taught in English, Filipino and/or other local languages. Teachers should have adequate preparation and HEIs should provide appropriate teaching materials in these languages. The Sociology electives will expose students to the various fields of inquiry in the discipline. Free electives will allow them to pursue their own interests in fields outside the discipline. The Foreign Language electives will provide students an opportunity to learn foreign languages relevant to their research or intellectual interests, and appreciate the role of language in the construction of identities and crosscultural interactions. Directed Research, a final requirement, will enable students to apply research skills, from conceptualization to report writing and presentation of findings. It is the last component of a 12-unit research program of studies comprised of social statistics, quantitative methods of social research, qualitative methods of social research, and directed research. It may be offered in any semester of the final year. Sec. 9 Sample Curriculum Below is a sample of BA Socio.
