Professor Joji Linaugo of the College of Education presented his study in 11th International Conference on Science and Mathematics Education (CoSMEd-XI) 2025 in Penang Malaysia.
Held at the SEAMEO Regional Centre for Education in Science and Mathematics (SEAMEO RECSAM) from September 8 to 11, 2025, Prof. Linaugo presented his paper titled “Gender and Tenure Predict Filipino Science Teachers’ Instrumentation Skills.”
COSMED XI 2025, organized by SEAMEO RECSAM, is centred on “Navigating STEM Education in a BANI World.”
The COED faculty also joined various plenary sessions and tours during the conference.
This theme reflects the pressing need to reorient STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education to equip learners with the skills, mindset, and resilience needed to navigate an increasingly unpredictable and complex global landscape, according to SEAMEO RECSAM.
Moving beyond the well-known VUCA framework (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity), the BANI paradigm—Brittleness, Anxiety, Non-linearity, and Incomprehensibility—offers a more nuanced lens through which to understand and respond to contemporary challenges, it added.
