oS Mote, Sy S. Republic of the Philippines Z| § OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT COMMISSION ON HIGHER EDUCATION “Sa ‘ CHED MEMORANDUM ORDER (CMO) : : NO. 02 Sy, Series of 2014 SUBJECT POLICIES, STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES FOR BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN ENTERTAINMENT AND MULTIMEDIA COMPUTING (BS EMC) PROGRAM ie In accordance with the pertinent provisions of Republic Act (RA) No. 7722, otherwise known as the “Higher Education Act of 1994,” and in pursuance of an outcomes-based quality assurance system as advocated under CMO 46 s. 2012, and by virtue of Commission en banc Resolution No. 829-2013 dated November 25, 2013 the following policies, standards and guidelines (PSGs) are hereby adopted and promulgated by the Commission. a ~x ARTICLE INTRODUCTION Section 1. Rationale Based on the Guidelines for the Implementation of CMO 46 s 2012, this PSG implements the “shift to learning competency-based standards/outcomes-based education.” It specifies the core competencies expected of BS EMC graduates regardless of the type of HEI they graduate from. However, in recognition of the spirit of outcomes-based education and of the typology of HEIs, this PSG provides ample space for HEIs to innovate in the curriculum in line with the assessment of how best to achieve learning outcomes in their particular contexts and their respective missions. The field of Entertainment and Multimedia Computing is a relatively new but dynamic field. It includes the areas of Digital Animation and Game Development. It is the basis for these two (2) sub-sectors of the Philippine Information Technology (IT) industry. ‘These are promising areas where the local industry is experiencing, fast growth and where the potential to capture a bigger slice of the global market is quite high. The Commission recognizes the need to be responsive according to the current needs of the country. Hence, it is essential and important that the country’s Entertainment and Multimedia Computing capability should be continually developed and strengthened to be at par globally. Itis the objective of the Commission to develop and promote the PSG for Bachelor of Science in Entertainment and Multimedia Computing (BSEMC), and to provide the minimum standards for Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) offering or intending to offer quality EMC programs. The PSG is developed with consultations from all ap 1 Higher Education Development Center Building, C.P. Garcia Ave., UP Campus, Diliman, Quezon City, Philippines ‘Wb Site: www.ched,gov.ph Tel. Nos. 441-1177, 385-4381, 441-1168, 441-1149, 441-1170, 441-1216, 392-5298Section 2. Section 3. stakeholders, from the academe to the industry. The PSG contains provisions that cultivate the culture of excellence in offering an EMC program. ‘This is in line with the vision of the Commission to have HEIs produce competent graduates that shalll cater to the needs of the Game Development and Digital Animation industries. The PSG is also désigned for all HEIs to exercise their innovativeness and creativity in the development of its curriculum for the offering of BSEMC program. ARTICLE II AUTHORITY TO OPERATE Government Recognition All private higher education institutions (PHEIs) intending to offer BS EMC must first secure proper authority from the Commission in accordance with these PSGs. All PHEIs with an existing BS EMC program are required to shift to an outcomes- based approach based on these PSGs and must secure approval for such a shift. State universities and colleges (SUCS), and local colleges and universities should likewise strictly adhere to the provisions in these policies and standards. ARTICLE II GENERAL PROVISIONS The Articles that follow give minimum standards and other requirements and prescriptions. The minimum standards are expressed as a minimum set of desired program outcomes which are given in Article IV Section 6, The Technical Committee designed a curriculum to attain such outcomes, This curriculum is shown in Article V Section 8 as a sample curriculum. The number of units of this curriculum is here prescribed as the “minimum unit requirement” under Section 13 of RA 7722. In designing the curriculum, the Technical Committee employed a curriculum map which is shown in Article V Section 9 as a sample curriculum map. Using a learner-centered/outcomes-based approach the Technical Committee also determined appropriate curriculum delivery methods shown in Article V Section 10. The sample course syllabi given in Article V Section 11 show some of these methods. Based on the curriculum and the means of its delivery, the Technical Committee determined the physical resource requirements for the library, laboratories and other facilities and the human resource requirements in terms of administration and faculty. See Article VI. Section 4. The HEIs are allowed to design curricula suited to their own contexts and missions provided that they can demonstrate that the same leads to the attainment of the required minimum set of outcomes, albeit by a different route. In the same vein, they have latitude in terms of curriculum delivery and in terms of specification and deployment of human and physical resources as long as they can show that the attainment of the program outcomes and satisfaction of program educationalSection 5. objectives can be assured by the alternative means they propose, The HEIs can use the CHED Implementation Handbook for Qutcomes-Based Education (OBE) and the Institutional Sustainability Assessment (ISA) as a guide in making their submissions for Sections 16, 17 and 18 of Article VII. ‘These PSGs are based on the existing 10-year basic education system and on the existing GE program. They reflect the reform towards outcomes-based education but not the K12 Reform, The latter shall be addressed subsequently. ARTICLEIV PROGRAM SPECIFICATIONS Program Description 5.
