Benguet State University’s Center for Educational Research and Innovation (CERI) successfully organized the fourth Educators’ Forum or “Tongtongan.” The event was held to bridge gap between research and policy implementation, with the theme, “Redefining Education: Bridging Innovation, Research, and Policy for Impact.”

The event was in partnership with the College of Teacher Education (CTE), Office of Extension Services (OES), Department of Education (Dep-Ed)-Benguet Division, Philippine Association for Teacher Education (PAFTE)-CAR, and State Universities and Colleges Teacher Education Association (SUCTEA)-CAR.

The forum addresses the research outputs in not reaching policymakers and those who need the information. This also promotes knowledge sharing, inclusivity, and partnerships to enhance educational practices and achieve learning outcomes.

The presentations were organized into four strands to address key areas of development and innovation in learning. The first strand included digital transformation and emerging technologies in education. Second strand is on the emerging practices in curriculum assessment and instructional support. The third strand covered the 21st-century learner in dynamic learning environment. The fourth strand was dedicated to leadership for educational transformation and innovation.

In her opening remarks, CERI Director Janet Lynn M. Balagtey shared the history of "tongtongan," explaining that it means conversation, dialogue, or meaningful exchange. She emphasized that the forum was intended to be more than an academic conference, but a venue for educators, researchers, and policymakers to engage in reflective discussion on research.

Balagtey urged participants to maintain the event as a venue for engagement. "Let us continue to make this forum a space for authentic engagement where studies, programs, and ideas truly connect with the needs of the field," she said.

Next, BSU President Kenneth A. Laruan said that as educators, researchers, and policy advocates, we are challenged to innovate and research to make difference in the lives of the communities. He also reminded the participants to go beyond the publication and transform their efforts into policies and practices.

“Let us continue to redefine education, not just for relevance, but for resonance, for kind of learning that truly changes lives.” he said.
