The Philippine Science Heritage Center (PSHC), under the management of the National Academy of Science and Technology, Philippines (NAST PHL), is set to hold Salinlahi Guro ng Siyensiya (SGS) in Palo, Leyte tomorrow, July 23, 2024.
Salinlahi Guro ng Siyensiya is a seminar-workshop for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) teachers aiming to equip them with the latest information about science-related matters. This seminar-workshop specifically invites Filipino scientists as resource speakers, recognizing their influence and expertise in helping STEM teachers enhance student learning in science and technology.
For this year’s SGS, the PSHC focuses on Artificial Intelligence (AI) with the theme “Empowering Educators by Enhancing Teaching using Generative AI Tools”. Dr. Elmer-Rico E. Mojica, a Professor of Analytical Chemistry from Pace University, New York, serves as a resource speaker and joins the workshop via online.
The PSHC intends to talk about the understanding of the fundamentals of generative AI and its applications in education, utilizing generative AI tools to create interactive and engaging teaching materials, integrating AI-generated content into science curricula effectively, and identifying and addressing challenges and ethical considerations associated with using AI in education.
Twenty (20) out of sixty-six (66) STEM teachers nominated by their respective schools from provinces across Region VIII were thoroughly selected to participate in this workshop.The PSHC has conducted SGS programs in various institutions over the past years, addressing issues valuable to teachers of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
