The Guidance and Testing Office headed by Ms. Donna May B. Gavina, campus Guidance Counselor and Ms. Jaya Cajalne, Guidance staff, facilitated the Pre-deployment Psychological screening to the two hundred thirty five (235) candidates of teaching internship program from the three key education courses (BEE, BSEd, BTLEd) yesterday, February 17, 2023, at the Conference room, Sta. Maria campus.

As per university guidelines, students participating in the teaching internship program must not only be physically but also mentally fit especially so that they will be handling individuals with varied personality. The Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS -21) was chosen to be administered to assess whether a student is fit and is able to perform task competently and in a manner which will not endanger the health and safety of themselves or others.

This activity was in cooperation with the campus Practice Teaching Coordinators, Ms. Cristina Tendero (PTI Coordinator, BEED program) and Mr. Rey Marquez (PTI Coordinator, BSED program).
