After completing this course, STUDENTS SHOULD BE ABLE:

 To solve measurement problems involving conversion of units, expression of

measurements in scientific notation;
 To differentiate vector and scalar quantities;
 To convert a verbal description of a physical situation involving uniform
acceleration in one dimension into a mathematical description;

qualitative conclusions about the velocity and acceleration of one or more
bodies, and the contact and noncontact forces acting on one or more bodies;

 To apply the rotational kinematic relations for systems with constant angular
accelerations;

Thermodynamics in context such as, but not limited to, heat engines, heat
pumps, internal combustion engines, refrigerators, and fuel economy

IV. Teaching and Learning Strategies:

1. LECTURE. Lecture method shall be the primary teaching strategy to be considered in
the class. The class shall be provided learning modules for the semester. Lecture shall
be done through the aid of classroom smart televisions, projectors and video
presentations. Computer-aided instruction shall likewise be utilized to develop the
students’ abilities in the use of IT.

2. INTERACTIVE LEARNING. It is another widely used method of teaching which is

usually intermingled with lecture. Its uses or value includes transmitting knowledge to
students; assisting students in organizing knowledge and developing concepts and
generalizations; answering students’ questions; clarifying understanding; showing how to
solve a problem or do something; giving students opportunity to interact with each other
and with the instructor/professor; and improving students’ ability to speak on a subject,
to organize thoughts and to communicate effectively.

3. GROUP/INDIVIDUAL REPORTING. The strategy will help the students to enhance their
presentation skill. It is an avenue for the students to learn how to present the assigned
topics. Reports should include current issue or related actual case in the business to
make the topic assigned to them more interesting.

4. DEBATE. Debate is a structured form of argumentations that requires participants to

engage in research, develop listening and oratory skills, and think critically. Debating can
be employed as an instructional strategy wherever the learning material and
circumstances are open to opposing points of view. Debates may be viewed or read to
contribute additional perspectives on a classroom topic.

5. STUDENT SELF-ASSESSMENT. Student self-assessment refer to academic

assessment tools, often a rubric, that describes a learning task or skill by its attributes
and level of quality, which students use to assess their own progress and performance.
These tools may also be used individually or in teacher or peer conferences and
tutorials.

6. DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTIONS (ADAPTING TO LEARNING STYLES/MULTIPLE

INTELLIGENCES). The cognitive theory of multiple intelligences posits that students
learn, remember, perform, and understand in different ways, including various
intelligences, such as musical-rhythmic, visual-spatial, verbal-linguistic, logical-
mathematical, bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalistic. As a
cognitive theory, learning styles/multiple intelligences is controversial but has proved
useful to classroom teachers in fostering different interests, providing variety and
differentiation in instruction, and developing the students.

7. INTEGRATING TECHNOLOGY. Integrating technology into a course curriculum when

appropriate is proving to be valuable for enhancing and extending the learning
experience for both teacher and students.

8. GAMIFICATION. It is a teaching-learning technique through the use of games is one of

the teaching methods that has already been explored especially in the modern
environment. It is also very useful technique to keep students motivated.

9. REINFORCEMENT OF ACTIVE LISTENING. Active listening also means listening to

understand rather than reply. Reinforce building good listening skills by encouraging
students to practice asking clarifying questions to fully understand the speaker’s
intended message.

10. MODELLED CONVERSATIONAL SKILLS. Conversation is one of the most basic and
essential communication skills. It enables people to share thoughts, opinions, and ideas,
and receive them in turn. Although it may appear simple on the surface, effective

 conversations include a give-and-take exchange that consists of elements such as: 1)
body language 2) eye contact 3) summarizing/paraphrasing 4) responding.
