May There Be Peace: Teaching- Learning Approaches and Strategies in the Cultivation of Lasallian Peace Culture

Abstract

This study sought to identify teaching- learning approaches and strategies in the cultivation of peace culture in De La Salle Lipa, Philippines. Interviews were conducted among selected professors in the College of Education, Arts, and Sciences who carry out peace initiatives through courses they teach. Content analysis of the syllabi of the courses that carry out peace concepts was also done. The findings identified holistic, participatory, cooperative, humanist, and experiential approaches evident in teaching courses that carry out peace concepts. It was recommended that the institution formalizes peace efforts if it is really committed to creating a condition conducive to peace whether at an intrapersonal, interpersonal, intergroup, national, or international level.
