𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗣𝗢𝗦𝗜𝗧𝗘 𝗡𝗘𝗪𝗦 | RDE Director Leads 4th Student Research Capacity Building; MathSoc Holds Seminar on Unlocking Mathematical Insight

Date Posted: Nov. 12, 2025

Limay Polytechnic College (LPC) on Friday held two academic enrichment events — the 4th Student Research Capacity Building spearheaded by the Research, Development, and Extension (RDE) Office, and the Mathematics Society’s seminar-workshop titled “Unlocking Mathematical Insight: A Problem-Solving Approach,” both conducted at the LPC Audio-Visual Room, November 7.

Through its RDE Office, LPC conducted the 4th Research Capacity Building (Student Edition) during the morning session with the theme “Improving Research Quality by Strengthening Students’ Competence in Writing Research Proposals.” The activity aimed to enhance the research writing skills of student-researchers and promote quality research outputs.

RDE Director Joemark D. Ablian served as the resource speaker and led discussions and hands-on sessions focusing on the fundamentals of proposal writing, data gathering, and research ethics.

The capacity-building activity forms part of the institution’s continuing efforts to equip students with essential research competencies under the LPC 2025 vision, “Empowered to Create Impact.”

This annual Research Capacity Building has become a key initiative in fostering academic excellence and innovation among students, reinforcing the college’s commitment to research-driven education in Bataan.

Meanwhile, LPC’s Mathematics Society conducted a seminar-workshop titled “Unlocking Mathematical Insight: A Problem-Solving Approach” in the afternoon.

The program opened with welcoming remarks from Ms. Lorena C. Pablo, adviser of the Mathematics Society, followed by an inspirational message from Ms. April R. Cruz, head of the Teacher Education Department.

Additionally, society officer Mark Rexon M. Tamboboy presented the statement of purpose.

Resource speaker Ms. Marie Cris Toribio-Lagahit discussed the seminar’s main topic, “Unlocking Mathematical Insight: A Problem-Solving Approach,” which aimed to move beyond rote memorization and promote deeper mathematical understanding and creative problem-solving skills among future educators.

Ms. Lagahit effectively used various teaching approaches, making the seminar engaging and easier for participants to grasp. She also emphasized that the challenge in solving math problems often lies not in the problems themselves but in one’s assumptions.

“Minsan, hindi ’yung problema ang problema, kundi ’yung assumptions natin — kung paano natin tinitingnan ’yung problemang nasa harap natin,” she said.

Participants also took part in a hands-on workshop and panel discussion that encouraged collaboration and the practical application of problem-solving strategies.
