This is participated in by relevant local government units, civil society organizations and non-government organizations. The research forum revolved around three relevant themes for inclusive education: disability, out-of-school children/youth, and indigenous peoples.

served as a member of the panel reactors in the research studies on disability. She was joined by Asst. Prof. Kim Gerald Medallon, Mr. Allan James Tan, and alumni Ancilla Diamante (OT 2019) and Edel Anne Asuzano (OT 2019), in presenting 6 research posters on disability-inclusive education in the marketplace section alongside PIDS.

Two research outputs, “Characterizing Success Indicators of Disability-Inclusive Education in the Philippines” and “Allied Health Care in the Philippine Education Setting: Conceptualizing Occupational Therapy Roles by Philippine Public School Professionals,” generated insights about the success indicators of an inclusive education program and how occupational therapists are viewed by the public school sector.

Meanwhile, three researches tackled the effectiveness of the programs included for inclusive education, encompassing early detection and intervention, and the Equality and Non-Discrimination Module for the peers of the children with disability: “Outcomes of Early Detection and Intervention of Children with Disability: Perspective from Philippine Public School Administrators and Teachers”, “How do parents of Children with Disability perceive outcomes of Early Detection and Intervention”, “Can the Equality and Non-Discrimination Module improve knowledge, skills and attitudes of peers of Children with Disability?”

Lastly, one study probed into experiences of teachers and parents in implementing inclusion: (“Embracing Challenges Amidst Diverging Views in Philippine Public Schools: Voices of Teachers and Parents in Transitioning to Disability-Inclusive Settings”).

Researches they presented were all participatory action researches in partnership with Save the Children’s KASALI (Kabataang Aralin sa Lahat Ibahagi), an inclusive education program, which is currently being scaled up. These researches are evidence-based advocacies in response to the social issue of overlapping marginalization experienced by children and youth with disabilities, with the intention of influencing local policies for the welfare of all children.

The paper, which Medallon co-authored with fellow OT faculty members (lead author), and Mr. Allan James T. Tan, MSOT, aimed to “determine the perspectives of public elementary school teachers and principals on the role of OT in inclusive education.” Using key informant interviews, focus group discussion, and review of records, the descriptive study found that while the participants had a positive attitude toward occupational therapists in an inclusive education setting, there was “considerable role confusion…which can limit effective collaboration…and impede the referral system.”

The non-government organization “Save the Children” has as one of its projects “Kabataang-Aralin Sa Lahat Ay Ibahagi” (KASALI), which provides opportunities for children with disabilities (CWD) to be part of the inclusive education program. To achieve this, a referral system between teachers and allied health professionals, particularly occupational therapists, is desired. Thus, the research was conceived.

This international conference is organized by the Philippine Higher Education Research Consortium and was held from August 27-29, 2019 at Novotel Hotel, Quezon City.

In this study, six focus group discussions engaged 23 teachers in eight public elementary schools, and 22 parents of students with disability enrolled in these schools. Through inductive analysis using NVivo 12, two major themes emerged: the personas that drive the transition and operationalizing the vision for inclusive education, which present itself in a cause-and-effect relationship.  Public school stakeholders are compliance driven, which result in superficial abrupt reforms. In the narratives of parent anxiety, professionals’ dissenting views and teacher-focused practices, stakeholders have identified the need for collaboration among the school, parents, and communities, notwithstanding the importance of readiness in adapting a more inclusive culture and processes in public schools.

The presented research is part of the series of commissioned researches for the recently concluded inclusive education program of Save the Children called KASALI or Kabataang Aralin sa Lahat ay Ibahagi.

The conference aimed to strengthen and mainstream research outputs of Higher Education Institution (HEIs) in various fields and disciplines. With this, Sagun-Ongtangco highlighted how the college is responsive to identified local needs through its partnership with Save the Children.

]]> University of Santo Tomas and faculty member presented his paper on service-learning modalities and levels titled “Social Theories and Service Learning towards Building a Service-learning Modalities and Levels Framework” during the 3rd International Conference on Service Learning held from January 10 to 12, 2019 at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University.

Abenir’s paper linked service-learning “to its sociological theoretical foundations and its modalities/modes and levels of community engagement…and produced a coherent framework to guide service-learning educators and practitioners in identifying the type of service-learning being implemented.” Identifying the service-learning type
leads to possible implications for students, faculty members, and community partners involved.

In a separate interview, Abenir explained that service-learning according to the National Service Learning Clearinghouse, is “a teaching and learning strategy that integrates meaningful community service with instruction and reflection to enrich the learning experience, teach civic responsibility, and strengthen communities.”

Citing how service-learning helps the University in its community development efforts, Abenir said that, “Through service-learning, the community development efforts of the University become an integral part of academic scholarship where instruction and research are used to advance public service and civic engagement, and at the same
time, form socially responsible students and faculty members.”
Abenir’s paper put together structural functionalism, conflict and critical perspectives, and symbolic interactionism and found three kinds of service-learning: Charity-Based service-learning by Mitchell, Liberating service-learning by Stoecker, and Community-Based service-learning by Hammersley.

In the same conference, College of Rehabilitation Sciences faculty members Asst. Prof. Karen Sagun-Ongtangco and Mr. Charles Bermejo discussed disability-inclusive education when they presented their research papers during the 3rd International Conference on Service Learning held from January 10 to12, 2019 at the Hong Kong Polytechnic
University.

Ongtangco presented “Disability-Inclusive Education through Action Research: Experience of University Partnership with Save the Children,” elaborating how the partnership with Save the Children, a Non-Government Organization, was successful through the action research studies conducted from 2015 up to the present.

In their second presentation, Ongtangco co-presented with Bermejo, a paper on the partnership of CRS with UST’s mandatory Service Learning course, National Service Training Program. Titled “Disability Inclusive Disaster Risk Reduction and Management: Advocacy to Transformative Action in Service Learning,” the paper tackled the research-based process of revising the Disaster Risk Reduction and Management module of NSTP.

In both presentations, experiential learning, academic study and reflections were highlighted in the process of providing service to the communities through participatory action researches. With diverse topics on service learning involving a wide array of disciplines, both faculty members from the Occupational Therapy Department took the opportunity to advocate for disability-inclusion in this international conference.

The conference was attended by 186 participants whose diverse backgrounds include academics and development practitioners. Eighty eight were from Hong Kong, 29 from Mainland China, and 24 were from other countries all over the world that included South East Asia, South Asia, Far East, Australia, Europe and North America.
