School: General Information and Academic Administration

School Profile

The University of the Immaculate Conception or UIC began in 1905. UIC is an institution of higher learning administered by the Religiosity of the Virgin Mary in Davao City, Davao del Sur, Philippines.

 

After my observation, I learned that there are 3 separate buildings, namely the Fr Selga campus (main campus), Bonifacio campus and Bajada campus (basic education). During this program, I stay at the women's dormitory of the Fr. Selga (main campus) campus, together with my colleagues (Emma and Zulfah). While my male colleague (Hadad) stayed at the UIC Hotel in Fr. Selga (main campus).  As for the dormitories, they have a rule where at 9pm you have to be in the dormitory because all gates and doors will be locked. The facilities are quite satisfactory, we even get a separate kitchen to honor us who are Muslim.

The distance between the dormitory and the internship site takes about 30 to 40 minutes. My internship site is UIC Bajada with Emma and Hadad. We will go to Bajada campus using a jeepney and tricycle.

As an evaluation of the learning process, this school will hold exams. There are monthly exams held every month and periodic exams held at the end of each term. At the end of the year, there will be awards for students who manage to maintain their grades.

Curriculum 

UIC High School teachers have prepared for the more intensive implementation of the UbD Framework and the initial implementation of the K to 12 program by attending the "Curricular Visioning and Benchmarking" training which emphasizes teachers as curriculum leaders. This training initiative is an innovative approach to equipping faculty to make curriculum changes and expand learning opportunities. The training took the form of lecture-workshops to improve teaching effectiveness. Teachers are productively engaged in workshop activities, leading to the review of the Teaching Development Program.
