4. Select the project to be developed into a business and prepare a business plan
5. Prepare and comply requirements for business start up
6. Operate and manage the enterprise as good governance and social responsibility are

2. Demonstration - Faculty members show how a skill should be performed or students are
observed as they perform a learning outcome.
a. Class discussion: The faculty member serves as facilitator, prompting and probing to
ensure the discussion remains focused and objectives are met.
b. Discussion Panel: Students or experts focus on one issue and varying views or
aspects are raised.
6. Literature Review - Students read and reflect on articles in the professional journals in
order to become familiar with the current research.
7. Student Presentations - Research shows peer teaching is an active learning strategy that
results in significant gains in learning. Students practice professional roles and improve
communication skills.
8. Case Study /Discussion Method - An open ended story or case study provides a vehicle for
analysis, criticism, and reaching conclusions.
9. Multimedia Instruction - Integrating varying formats such as lecture, text, graphics, audio,
video, Web resources, projection devices, and interactive devices in a lesson. Increases
motivation, alertness, and can improve the quality of student responses. Simultaneous
presentation using multiple formats allows students to learn using multiple senses.
10. Problem Solving - Problems common to a discipline are integrated in scenarios to allow
students to strengthen creative and critical thinking. Problem solving is the most independent of
learning methods that empowers the students to initiate their own learning. The learner
sequences action steps that will lead to the correct solutions. The teacher therefore must assume
the role of the facilitator, and be prepared to provide students with feedback rather than solutions
a. Brainstorming - Used most often with groups, brainstorming is a technique for refining
the definition of a problem, generating multiple solutions to a problem or multiple designs for
developing something new, and to identify possible threats to the solutions and designs. It
promotes creative and critical thinking.
b. Change the Rules - Rarely do circumstances stay the same for long in the real world.
Integrating changes in a problem scenario during the solution timeframe provides necessary
experience with responding to new information.
11. Simulation
a. Computer-based - Interactive: Computerized model or scenario.
b. Role Plays - Students assume one of the characters in a simulated situation in order
to experience different points of view or positions.
12.. Role-Playing-Each student takes the role of a person affected by an issue and studies the
impacts of the issues on human life and/or the effects of human activities on the world around us
from the perspective of that person. More rarely, students take on the roles of some phenomena,
such as part of an ecosystem, to demonstrate the lesson in an interesting and immediate manner.
The instructor needs to decide the context for the exercise and the role(s) that the students will
play. If the students are taking human roles, the context is generally a specific problem such as
global warming or dealing with an active volcano.
13 Graphic Organizers - Clarify relationships with diagrams or graphs. Clarify processes with flow
charts. Implementation Suggestions: a. useful as part of lectures b. useful as a student
assignment to verify their understanding of complex learning.
14. Immersion Environments - Students are placed within a setting or situation in which they
exclude all else from their experiences. If they are immersed in a language, they speak, hear,
write, and read only that language. If they are immersed in a work setting and assigned a role
there, they become that role and their communications and actions comply with that role.
15. Portfolio - Collecting, organizing, reflecting upon and publishing a variety of student work
including papers, presentations, videos, and images. ePortfolio - Collecting materials
