DepEd's alternative to recognize exemplary performance of deserving undergraduates
DepEd in its DO No. 18 s2021 titled INTERIM GUIDELINES ON GIVING OF AWARDS AND RECOGNITION IN LIGHT OF THE BASIC EDUCATION LEARNING CONTINUITY PLAN FOR SY 2020-2021suspended a majority of the awards and recognition provided in DepEd Order 36, s. 2016. According to DepEd, these awards require face-to-face interaction and in-person observation of learner's classroom demeanor and performance; however, the current learning set-up limits the basis for authentically identifying recipients of these awards.
These awards include the following: Classroom Awards (Performance Awards for Kindergarten, Conduct Awards, Recognition for Perfect Attendance); Grade-level Awards (Leadership Award, Award for Outstanding Performance in Specific Disciplines, Award for Work Immersion, Award for Research or Innovation, Award for Club or Organization Achievement); and Special Recognition. These awards are results of largely observable behavior in the classroom and are demonstrations of exemplary performance in in-person academic and non-academic competitions, which are possible only in a face-to-face learning set-up.
However, the DepEd in its DO No. 18 s2021 suggested an alternative to recognize the exemplary performance of deserving undergraduates.
"In lieu of the awards suspended for SY 2020-2021, teachers may recognize exemplary performance through positive reinforcement during synchronous discussions or through the class' established mechanism for giving constructive feedback to build a levelled opportunity for all learners to excel in distance learning," said DepEd Order.
"Different forms of positive reinforcements ensure that teachers create an effective learning environment that nurtures learning engagement and celebrates academic successes," the order stated.
