UP CIDS and MSU Tawi-Tawi Collaborate for Capacity-Building Workshop

The Center for Integrative Development Studies (CIDS) of the University of the Philippines, in collaboration with the MSU-TCTO College of Education, conducted a Skeptical Resilience and Fighting Disinformation Capacity-Building Workshop for Basic Education Teachers on November 30 at Maas Kamlon Hall.

The workshop aimed to enhance the information literacy skills of teachers by enabling them to distinguish between reliable and non-reliable information available online.

During the one-day workshop, the team included pre-test and post-test activities to evaluate participants’ ability to assess online information and support them with research-based approaches to critically evaluate disinformation.

100 faculty members from the MSU Integrated Laboratory School and the Ministry of Basic, Higher, and Technical Education (MBHTE) participated in the workshop.

This initiative represents a significant step in equipping educators with the skills needed to navigate the digital landscape and combat disinformation effectively.
