LA TRINIDAD, Benguet -- A group of Benguet Division research educators won the International Outstanding Award during the 8th CAS National and International Conference (CASNIC) 2020 in Thailand on Nov. 7, 2020.
    The research paper of Rachel B. Basalong, Benilda M. Daytaca and Mark Aljon E. Valenciano entitled “Alternative teaching and learning delivery modes in the Schools Division of Benguet, Philippines: A descriptive study” earned prestige during the said conference due to its relevance to the theme “Higher education’s moves and trends to combat Covid-19.”
    Said study found out that concerns of the school stakeholders with reference to alternative teaching and learning delivery modes during Covid-19 pandemic in the Schools Division of Benguet were encapsulated in four themes tagged as 4Cs: connectivity, capability, condition and constitution.
    This led the researchers to recommend to the Benguet Schools Division Office to consider the research results as bases for the division’s policy framing and learning continuity plan development in this time of pandemic.
