II. Venue : Southbay Montessori School and Colleges,

III. Date/ Time : June 6, 2023/ 12:30pm to 1:30pm
IV. Organized by : BSSW 3th Year College Students in partial
fulfillment of the requirements in Social Work Community Education and

V. Participants : College Students in Southbay Montessori
School and Colleges, Inc.
VI. Rationale :

The concept of gender sensitivity has developed as a way to reduce obstacles to

development created by sexism. Gender sensitivity helps generate respect for the individual
regardless of sex.
Being gender-sensitive does not mean pitting women against men. Education which is
gender-sensitive is a winning asset for both women and men. It helps them determine which
views in matters of gender are valid and which are stereotyped generalizations. Gender
awareness requires not only intellectual effort but also sensitivity and open-mindedness. It
opens up an area for a wide range of life options.
In brief, being gender-sensitive can create a positive impact to other people’s lives and
when it becomes our lifestyle, we can create a better community for all. Gaining fresh new
knowledge on the concepts and issues of GAD can awaken us to break misconceptions, avoid
unconscious insensitivity, bias and discrimination.

VII. Expected Output :

 At the end of the seminar, the participants should be able to differentiate sex
and gender and they can explain the role of society to gender
 Awareness in gendered perspectives on the roles of women and men,
countering gender-related stereotypes and creating a more equal.
 Distinction between sex and gender whilst defining other gender-related
terminology

NARRATIVE ASSESSMENT

Name: Jonathan Pamatmat

Year & Course: BSSW III

Topic: Gender and Development

Speaker: Mrs. Arrelee Manaspar

Date and Time: June 6, 2023

Venue: Southbay Montessori School, First Floor

I. Introduction

We the Bachelor of Science in Social Work taking up the Social Work Community
Education subject are required to conduct a seminar for us to apply what we have
learned from the subject. With that said, we organized a seminar that was held in
school with the topic that was all about Gender and Development. We decided to have
this as our main topic because gender issues are still one of the most common issues
in our society nowadays. To discuss this topic, we choose one of our members that is
knowledgeable enough to share her learnings about the said topic.

II. Knowledge/ Learning Acquired

Learning how to organize a seminar is not the same as when I actually organize a
seminar. The experience itself is enough to say that there are learnings and knowledge
that I acquired during and after the seminar. The seminar not only brought me a wider
understanding about gender and development but it is more on how we handle
organizing a seminar from planning to implementing and how fulfilling it is after the
whole process.
III. Observation

During the seminar I observed that the participants have the willingness to learn about
said topic. I am also aware of their participation not only by means of listening but
their answers everytime the speaker was asking questions. I observed that the
discussion did not become boring since all of the students are participating
accordingly.

IV. Recomendation/ Suggestion

As per the result of our post evaluation form, we are glad that we receive different
positive feedback from the participants. However, some recommendations and
suggestions are also considered as our lessons and learnings for the betterment of our
next seminar.
 NARRATIVE ASSESSMENT

Name: Nuerie Joy Targa

Year & Course: BSSW III

Topic: Gender and Development

Speaker: Mrs. Arrelee Manaspar

Date and Time: June 6, 2023

Venue: Southbay Montessori School, First Floor

In the beginning, the speaker asks the participants of who among them have the idea

what is the difference between gender and sex. One of the participants answered and the

speaker said that it would be an important knowledge for them to understand from the start

the difference of two and the importance of those in undergoing the same training in the

future.

Additionally, the one of the slides in the presentation of the speaker discussed Gender

Issues and Biases. Where these are some tendencies in society and culture that assign roles,

behaviors, attitudes and characteristics based on the biological differences to gender issues.

Lastly, the effects of gender-linked “labeling” is the unequal power relations between women

and men assumes that men are superior to men and should be dominant and women are

subordinate. Which has the implication of this is that women tend to assume the reproductive

and community roles while men dominate the productive, the decision makers and leaders.

Overall, for me the message the topic discussed was to recognize that there are blocks

or gender biases to development that prevent people from attaining their full potentials. This

also works to remove actual potential gender biases in all the participants for them to

understand that development is for all, for men and women who have the right to equal

opportunities regardless of sex, age, race, ethnicity, class, and religion
