GOALS
To properly implement the University Research Agenda
To exponentially increase the CHED-recognized/ISI/Scopus indexed research presentation and publications of all faculty and employees in all campuses and branches of the University.
To dramatically improve the research capabilities and skills of the University's faculty and employees.
To incrementally increase the research incentives, privileges, and awards for all faculty and employees who do quality scientific research internally and externally.
To remarkably widen the University's networks and linkages for internalization.
The PUP Resarch
The Polytechnic University of the Philippines, under the exemplary leadership of Dr. Manuel M. Muhi, is recognized for its strengths of knowledge innovation(curriculum and instruction) and dispersion (research and community extension). As an agent of social mobility, P.U.P. is more than a site of trainingand instruction; it serves as a crucial intellectual milieu where knowledge iscreated, disseminated, and challenged. In propelling the vision to become a National Polytechnic University with its 10-Point Pillar Agenda, it strives to guarantee inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities through vigorous research production and utilization (Pillar 6). The quality of research work directly translates to teaching and learning in the classroom, benefiting the students, society, and country.
Having the College of Tourism, Hospitality, and Transportation Management as one of its performing colleges, the unitendeavors to make significant contributions through curriculum and instruction, research and production, community outreach and extension programs, and operational activities. It reflects on these three roles as the critical functions of H.E.I.s, the College, through its curricular programs: B.S. Tourism Management (BSTM), B.S. Hospitality Management (BSHM), and B.S. Transportation Management (BSTrM) commits to sharing in realizing the University Research Agenda anchored on the CHED NHERA and the UNSDG 2030. It is creating a continuum between developing the competency of faculty members and making curricula adjustments, nurturing new pedagogical approaches, instilling fundamental values through various learning methods and platforms, and cultivating innovations—including technological ones—to improve graduates' educational experience and educational outcomes. The college aims to generate proactive graduates with the skills to compete in increasingly global workplaces and be effective employers. These roles draw on similar skill sets but at a higher level and across various functions, indicating the need for graduates to engage in cross-disciplinary, profound, and lifelong learning. Students get empowered to become responsible agents in a continual search for the dynamic equilibrium of sociocultural, environmental, and economic dimensions.
The growth of the travel and tourism industry in the 21st century challenges the CTHTM to align its curriculum and instruction, research and production, community outreach and extension programs, and operational activities with local, national, and global trends. The tourism, hospitality, and transportation sectors have great potential to accelerate progress across the Sustainable Development Goals. The College through its three curricular programs, commits to share in the realization of the Global Goals by:
SDG 4 - reorienting a curriculum to address sustainability, educational communities need to identify the knowledge, issues, perspectives, skills, and values central to sustainable development in each of the three components of sustainability – environment, society, and economy – and integrate them into the curriculum.
SDG 8 - innovating and upgrading teachers’ competencies to aid the development of students’ competence and ability to collaborate and lead across national and international boundaries.
Across SDGs - undertaking research themes that contribute to the body of information around the SDGs and in what areas it can apply in the future.
SDG 1 - performing relevant community extension services hand in hand with instruction, research and production in recognition of the significant role colleges and universities serve in the development of communities, especially the underserved and the depressed.
As to national agenda, the BSTM, BSHM and BSTrM programs adhere to the National Tourism Development Plan 2016-2022 (NTDP) as a continuation of the National Tourism Development Plan 2011-2016 formulated in 2010 by the Department of Tourism as mandated by Republic Act 9593 or the Tourism Act of 2009. Tourism Act of 2009: Republic Act 9593, otherwise known as the Tourism Act of 2009, provides for the improvement of the Philippines’ tourism competitiveness and urgency for rationalized national tourism plans to meet the advancing demands and capabilities of the industry. Add to that the administration’s ambitious “Build, Build, Build” infrastructure program, which is also expected to open up new roads and more airports across the country, to further improve land and air connectivity. This, of course, will significantly benefit the tourism, hospitality, and transportation industries.
To align the competencies of graduates in congruence with the institutional vision, the following actions
are taken:
align and offer relevant subjects to strengthen the students’ knowledge, skills and values of the Philippine tourism product portfolio. New subject offerings are embedded and realigned in 2018 revision in compliance with CMO 62, Series 2017.
design and reorganize the course syllabi to a lifelong learning and competency-based paradigm.
expand network to allow academics, and those around them, to grow and build from each other’s achievements and expertise.
conduct and utilize research to enhance the curriculum and instruction, university processes, contribute to the National Tourism Development Plan and help achieve the 2030 UNSDGs.
strengthen the qualifications of faculty members in the areas of curriculum and instruction, research, and extension towards structured professional learning that results in changes in teacher practices and Improvements in student learning outcomes.
