Whereas, Section 8 of the same CMO provides the On-the-Job Training and
Community Immersion requirements, which state that:
“A one-semester Practicum/Community Immersion is required in the Bachelor
of Science in Criminology program. It will be undertaken by the students in the 2nd
semester of the 4th curriculum year level, and they will be assigned in different areas

of the community. The unique feature of the program is the student’s contribution to
‘police visibility’.
Students undergoing Practicum shall submit a research report, which shall
be a Case Study or a Case Analysis. The report will integrate the theories into the
Practicum experiences in the place where the students have been assigned. It should
reflect the student’s involvement in the enforcement of the law. The research report
shall be submitted to the faculty committee after the semester, and approved by the
head of the Criminology Department, as a requirement of the course.
There shall be a link-up between the school and accredited police or security
training centers, DILG, NBI, NAPOLCOM, PNP, Crime Laboratory, Corrections and
Rehabilitation Training Center, Fire Stations, Probation and Parole Administration,
Banks, Bureau of Immigration, or any public institution or private commercial
establishment where the Practicum and Community Immersion of the students shall
be conducted.
The instructor and the coordinator assigned to supervise the Practicum and
Community Immersion shall maintain an accurate record of activities of students
undergoing the said program.
The school shall ensure ample protection to life and limb of students through
insurance that will be taken on the student’s account and other appropriate safety
nets”.
Whereas Paragraph I of this order states that, “The Practicum (OJT and
Community Immersion) requirement for BS Criminology students is a component of the
new curriculum for the Criminology program as contained under CMO No. 21, s. 2005.
It is a course of study designed to provide practical experiences for BS Criminology
students in police work, operation of jail or penal institution, fire departments, security
agencies, and such other agencies comprising the five (5) pillars of the Criminal
Justice System. It prescribes the supervised application on psychology and sociology
of crimes, crime detection and investigation and criminalistics.
This course also aims to provide students with an opportunity to understand
economic, social, and cultural reality of the community by allowing them to interact

and relate with it. The course shall have three phases, namely, pre-immersion phase,
immersion phase, and post immersion phase.
The ‘pre-immersion phase’ refers to the preparatory stage of the Practicum.
This pertains to the activities conducted by the Higher Education Institution (HEI)
prior to the immersion phase.
The ‘immersion phase’ refers to the Practicum proper, during which the students
gain practical, hands-on and field experience.
The ‘post immersion phase’ refers to the culmination of the Practicum proper. As
a general rule, only BS Criminology students who have completed all academic units
shall be allowed to enroll in the one-semester Practicum requirement. However, the
HEI may allow the graduating students to enroll not more than six (6) units in addition
to the Practicum. The students enrolled in this course shall be called ‘Criminology
Interns’”.

participation and responsibilities shall be specified. The HEI shall maintain a valid
MOA with the partner institution to ensure that every Criminology Intern shall be
able to complete the Practicum.
The implementing HEI shall:
A. Prepare a booklet or a similar material defining the specific details and
procedures as to how the Practicum shall be conducted, as well as the
necessary details germane to the undertaking;
B. Prepare the program of activities specifying the tasks and duties to the
performed by the Criminology Interns during the conduct of the OJT and the
Community Immersion;
C. Prepare an observation and monitoring instrument, which shall be designed
to reveal the insights, reflections, knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values
acquired by the Interns;
D. Assign an instructor who shall be the overall in-charge and coordinator to
supervise the conduct of the OJT and the Community Immersion;
E. Conduct a complete and thorough orientation of Criminology Interns prior to
the immersion proper, which shall include provision of information related
to those below.

The cycle continues thereafter as the HEI develops into a mature institution.
Section 14- CHED is committed to developing and implementing an outcome-based
approach to quality assurance monitoring and evaluation, because it has the potential
to greatly increase both the effectiveness of the QA system, and the quality, efficiency,
and effectiveness of higher education. Mature evaluation systems are based upon
outcomes, looking particularly into the intended, implemented, and achieved learning
outcomes.
