Developmental Psychology as per CHED Memorandum Order (CMO) No. 34, series of 2017

 While waiting for the official release of the new table of specifications (TOS) and for those who are asking for the TOS on Developmental Psychology you may refer to Section 12 - Recommended Syllabi for Selected Core Courses of the CHED Memorandum Order (CMO) No. 34, series of 2017 with the Subject: Policies and Standards for Undergraduate Programs in Psychology. You might want to cover in your review these topics.

Certificate of Authentication and Validation (CAV) - Documentary Requirement

In the Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of RA 10029 or the Psychology Act of 2009,  applicants whose TOR does not have an SO this rule applies found in:

Sec. 13-A Documentary Requirements to the Licensure Examination of Psychometricians

c. Original and photocopy of transcript of records (with scanned picture) indicating the Special Order (S.O.) number, and where school is exempted from the issuance of an S.O. a Certificate of Authentication and Validation (CAV) from CHED.

We are sharing here samples of CAV - Certification, Authentication and Verification issued by CHED REgional IV-A (CALABARZON) and CHED National Capital Region shared to us by our two of our blog and FB readers who got their CAV lately.

Mr. Carl Reman shared his experience below:

The first thing na ginawa ko ay nagfile po ako ng request sa Registrar's Office. I paid 250.00 for the authentication of my TOR and Diploma. They also gave me an endorsement letter. When I'm in CHED na po okay naman po ang experience. Make sure may dala pong valid ID. 

May mga guard naman po sa bawat floor so pwede po silang tanungin kung saang room ang CHED regional office. I gave my documents to the administrative clerk then waited for few minutes. Then I paid PhP 40.00 and waited for some minutes. After they will check with you  kung tama po ang spelling ng name, school, address. Then kapag okay na po papareceive'an na nila yung draft ng CAV then yun okay na po.

This was not the the scenario I saw last time.  All seats were taken and there were more people lining up from ground floor up to this Hall of the Application Division.  Note that until the end of the year there will be 16 professions that will take place so file not your application to avoid the rush.

What's in a name, Psychological Assessment?

Image source -http://drjuliaking.com/yahoo_site_admin/assets/images/GettyImages_CC000596.84171129_std.jpg

Different schools have different names for the courses or subjects they offer compared with other schools or with CHED's Course specification for that matter. A particular case is the subject Psychological Assessment that will be given in the upcoming 2014 Psychometrician Licensure Exam. The title Psychological Assessment is different with that of Psychological Testing which is a subject and course offered by most universities or schools.

We have received a lot of questions about applicants' concern whether they need to secure Certificate of Equivalency from CHED about this matter. A sample question we received recently:

Kailangan pa bang humingi ng Certificate of Equivalency sa CHED that certifies na equivalent ang Psych Testing sa Psych Assessment? According kasi sa iba, matagal yun iprocess at sa CHED main office pa mismo hihingi eh mga taga-Bicol kami. May nagtanong na po ba sa inyo na may similar case sakin/samin? Hoping for your fast response regarding this matter.

Our reply - most applicants like us have submitted our requirements and the subject course title is Psychological Testing, we have received our NOA upon PRC Application Division's review of those requirements (TOR included). So we did not apply from CHED any Certificate of  Equivalency. We hope that the PRC Board of Psychology has also clarified about this matter of Psychological Testing/Measurement  is synonymous, equal or equivalent to Psychological Assessment  to the PRC and the rest of PRC's regional offices.

An advise, go to PRC and submit your application NOW to find out more of what they will say about your application. File your application now and do not rush at the last minute given that PRC sometimes require additional requirements such as the CAV for those whose TOR does not contain Special Order (SO) Number including the additional documentary stamps to each of the three notarized certificates of good moral character. Do not wait for the deadline if you are ready and desire to take the licensure exam - FILE NOW! Well, otherwise, there's next year and the coming years to take the board exam.

Indigenous personality measures: Philippine examples. Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology

| January 01, 1998 | Guanzon-Lapena, Ma. Angeles; Church, A. Timothy; Carlota, Annadaisy J.; Katigbak,Marcia S. | Copyright 

After noting the need for indigenous scale construction efforts in the Philippines, the current article focuses on the development and current status of two multidimensional measures of Filipino personality constructs, plus two projects that are investigating indigenous Filipino personality structure. In a final section, we note apparent convergences between the personality dimensions identified and assessed by these four projects and consider how these dimensions might relate to purported universal dimensions of personality (i.e., the "Big Five" dimensions).Reviews of the status of psychological measurement in the Philippines have highlighted two related problems: the questionable applicability of foreign-made tests and the dearth of locally developed tests (e.g., Bulatao & Guthrie, 1968; Carlota & Lazo, 1987; Church, 1987; Guanzon, 1985; Ramos,1977). Strong misgivings have been expressed about the relevance to Filipino behavior of the theories underlying foreign-made tests, and researchers and scientist-practitioners have been urged to develop indigenous tests. The restiveness of the Philippine academic community over the need for more culturally sensitive theorizing was reflected in the Sikolohiyang Pilipino (FilipinoPsychology) movement that began in the 1970s. Enriquez (1994) described Sikolohiyang Pilipino as rooted in its Malayo-Polynesian and Asian heritage, a psychology based on the experience, ideas,and orientation of the Filipino, with psychology defined on the basis of categories drawn from the Filipino language and culture. Local test development was thus welcomed as a cross-cultural indigenization effort in which culture is treated as source rather than target (Enriquez, 1979).Discussions of indigenous psychological concepts and research methods that have emerged as a result of the Sikolohiyang Pilipino movement can be found in a number of sources (e.g., Aganon &David, 1985; Enriquez, 1992; Pe-Pua, 1982).In a recent effort to document and organize existing work on psychological test development in the Philippines, both published and unpublished, Ortega and Guanzon-Lapena (1997) observed an upsurge in academic interest in the development of indigenous psychological measures. Whereas in the 1950s a mere handful of tests in educational psychology were locally developed, Ortega andGuanzon-Lapena's (1997) current listing includes more than 200 locally developed measures on a wide variety of Filipino characteristics, for example, katalinuhan (intelligence), pagkarelihiyoso(religiousness), kaasalang sekswal (sexual behavior), kakayahang magdala ng tensyon (ability tocope with stress), pagkamabahala (anxiety), kahustuhang emosyonal (emotional maturity),pakikipag-ugnayan (adjustment-maladjustment), Filipino management style, and gender sensitivity,to name a few.This article focuses on the development and current status of two multidimensional measures of Filipino personality constructs--the Panukat ng Pagkataong Pilipino (PPP; Carlota, 1985) and thePanukat ng Ugali at Pagkatao (PUP; Enriquez & Guanzon-Lapenia, 1997)--plus two projects that areinvestigating indigenous Filipino personality structure (Church, Reyes, Katigbak, & Grimm, 1997;Katigbak, Church, & Akamine, 1996). In a final section, we summarize hypothesized convergencesbetween the personality dimensions identified and assessed by the different approaches...
