DLSU revs up curriculum to meet demands of 21st century learning

In line with the reforms in the national education system, De La Salle University is set to introduce a new curriculum to its first K-12 cohort this coming AY 2018-2019.

Dubbed as “RevEd,” the new curriculum has four defining features that are all deeply rooted in the best traditions of Lasallian education.

Every program is different, but all share the following features:

Programs offered by the University will be outcomesbased. This mode of instruction prioritizes higher order learning and mastery. It is characterized by clearly defining the learning activities students will go through in order to gain specific skills, knowledge, and attitudes by the end of a course.

Learning strategies and metrics that ensure students deliver the desired outcomes are also put in place.

They will also be geared toward future-proofing graduates through developing critical thinkers, good communicators, creative individuals, and collaborative learners through interdisciplinary electives and projects.

In addition, programs will provide meaningful and nurturing University experiences through a Global Enrichment Term.

Each program, which will follow the trimestral schedule, will have an average of 12 academic terms. This will ensure that international standards are met while also giving opportunities for a more immersive internship experience, overseas studies, volunteer work, and new entrepreneurial ventures.

Lastly, all programs are designed to create opportunities to bridge faith and scholarship.

“RevEd” is designed to mold Lasallian graduates who will be capable of adapting to the challenges and demands of 21st century living.

The new curriculum goes beyond giving students a set of academic credentials upon graduating; it is formulated to help students mature, develop critical academic and professional networks, and reinforce a global worldview.
