Trainor's Training on Learning Methodologies and Materials Development

5th Trainor's Training on Learning Methodologies and Materials Development (LMMD) Seminar-Workshop

The University of San Carlos proudly played host to the 5th rollout of the Trainor’s Training on Learning Methodologies and Materials Development (LMMD) Seminar-Workshop last May 21-25, 2007 at the Theodore Buttenbruch Hall, Main Campus.

This laudable project is in line with the Covenant of Partnership signed by ABS CBN Bayan Foundation, Inc with our very own University in pursuit of its common mission of developing and promoting micro-enterprises and in democratizing entrepreneurship through training and education.

The seminar was attended by officers from various micro finance institutions, cooperatives, NGOs, rural banks and faculty members from academic institutions. Spotted among the participants were officers and staff from Taytay sa Kauswagan, Inc., FCB Foundation, Inc., Cebu People’s Multi-Purpose Cooperative, Alalay Sa Kaunlaran, Inc., Lamac Multi-Purpose Cooperative, Community Rural Bank of Catmon, Basak Layog Agricultural Multi-Purpose Cooperative, First Agro Industrial Rural Bank, RAFI-Cebu Micro Enterprise Development Foundation, Inc., Center for Community Transformation, Colegio San Agustin-Bacolod, and the Cebu Normal University. USC also sent several faculty members from the College of Commerce to attend this rare opportunity to be trained as trainors for entrepreneurship.

The five-day session was fully packed with innovative teaching methodologies, processes and new insights into the role of becoming a more effective trainor. Some of the more interesting topics taken up were the concepts of whole brain thinking, structured learning exercises, process observation and analysis, Myer-Briggs Type Indicator, creative and intuitive thinking and the use of effective case methodology.

It must have helped a lot that the trainors for the seminar were all seasoned professors from the Asian Institute of Management, led by no less than its former dean, Dr. Eduardo A. Morato, Jr. and currently the President of ABS CBN Bayan Foundation. He was ably assisted by two more AIM professors in the persons of Prof. Cecilia B. Manikan, and Prof. Juan A. Kanapi.
