UNIVERSITY-WIDE ORIENTATION
Orientation is an essential program that is designed to provide all participants with the necessary information regarding the subject matter. In line with this, the Pangasinan State University (PSU) conducted a university-wide orientation that will prepare the pre-service teachers of the nine campuses about what to expect regarding the Field Study courses.
On September 23, 2022, Friday, the university-wide orientation for students and mentors in Field Study courses with the theme, "Education 4.0: The Pathways to the Next Normal Learning Environment" took place. For the registration link, Ma'am Betha Fe G. Cruz, the Teaching Internship and Review Center Coordinator, forwarded it in the group chat of leaders, and then Ms. Imee Cristina Vila, the representative of Science-1, has sent on the link to her groupmates. Although the program was delayed for 30 minutes, the 16 eager members of Science-1 patiently waited for the program to commence. The said orientation started at 9:30 am via Zoom and FB live.
