Teaching-Learning Approaches

We implement a range of teaching and learning strategies in the BSHROD program. By assessing student needs and acknowledging industry demands, we design teaching and learning activities effectively.

Student-Centered Learning

Adhering to the University’s educational philosophy and learning paradigm, the BSHROD program uses active and collaborative teaching-learning methods designed to empower students such as project-based activities, oral presentations, business simulation, and consulting activities.

Experiential Learning

The BS HR OD program provides hands-on opportunities for students to apply theory in real-world settings. Through internships, case studies, and collaborative projects, students develop practical HR and OD skills under mentor guidance, preparing them for successful careers.

Didactic Approach

Students engage in structured learning experiences that blend theoretical knowledge with practical applications. Through classroom lectures, workshops, and seminars led by industry experts, students gain a solid understanding of HR and OD principles. Students participate in case studies, simulations, and group discussions to analyze real-world scenarios and develop problem-solving skills. The program also includes HR and OD consulting course, where students apply learned concepts to advise organizations on strategic HR initiatives.

Interdisciplinary Approach

Students explore the intersection of various disciplines to gain a comprehensive understanding of human resources and organizational development. Through a blend of courses in business, psychology, sociology, and management, students examine HR and OD concepts from multiple perspectives.

Blended Learning

BSHROD implements and employs a variety of learning management systems (LMSs) for delivering lectures, conducting simulations, and managing other tasks. In response to rapid technological advancements, the program has adjusted accordingly, promoting pervasive learning across online resources, traditional classrooms, and modules.

Utilizing LMSs like Canvas, Connect, MindTap, and MyLab, programmed instructions are seamlessly executed through modules containing prerequisite activities and assignments. These programmed instructions feature built-in algorithmic functions designed to assess the amount of reading or study required for students to accurately complete their assessments.

Research-Based Approach

Students in the BSHROD program are encouraged to conduct research projects. The program also maintains updated information and content to remain relevant and abreast with current industry practices through case studies and other researches involving management theory and practice.

Integration of Digital ALICE

Project Digital ALICE (Adaptive Learning through Immersive and Collaborative Environment) provides FEU students with an exceptional learning experience through an innovative model that combines international-quality content, state-of-the-art delivery methods, and tailored instruction. By integrating both in-person and online classes, ALICE establishes a dynamic and immersive learning environment that addresses many educational gaps, including those caused by pandemic-related challenges.

 Assessments

Throughout the program, students and teachers freely negotiate their assessments and assessment-related tasks for each course, especially in their GE courses. As most of the department are field practitioners and industry experts, teachers are encouraged to use their experience to develop relevant formative and capstone summative assessments. These assessments include:

Formative assessments

Formative assessments allow teachers to identify learning gaps and possibly recalibrate the content and flow of instruction throughout the semester. Formative assessments include small projects, case analysis and presentations, simulations, group activities, peer or self-assessments, online and in-class exercises, assignments, and ungraded quizzes.

Formative assessments provide a feedback mechanism which allows teachers to reinforce student learning.

Summative assessments and capstone project

Regular departmental examinations are commonly conducted during the midterm while comprehensive examinations are administered during the final period. In select BSHROD professional courses, students are also required to submit final outputs in lieu of comprehensive examination.

BSHROD students undertake consulting project as part of their capstone assessment towards the end of the program.

Internship and Consultancy

BSHROD students are required to complete a 600-hour mandatory Internship in their final year of study. They are provided opportunities to embark on dynamic internships with various industry partners in the sectors of finance and banking, consulting, consumer goods, information, communications and technology, human capital management, logistics, manufacturing and supply chain, aviation, civic and public service, education, events and hospitality, healthcare and pharmaceuticals, insurance, and real estate.

Beyond the Philippines, students also have the option to take their internship abroad, with the help of the student apprenticeship program. The internship is designed to provide our students a head-start in their careers in HR and OD.

Students are required to undertake HR and OD consulting projects. Through these consulting works, students collaborate with businesses or organizations to address HR and OD challenges, providing valuable insights, recommendations, and solutions.

Students must complete a total of 167 credit hours of course work, including 600 hours of internship, and HR & OD consulting to finish the program.
