ABSTRACT

This paper was in response to the thrust of the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) in the Philippines on how teachers can achieve multimodal ways of the presentation. The researchers offered a research-based alternative to creating an advocacy-based teaching strategy at the tertiary level in this paper. The researchers chose random students’ outputs to present how the advocacy has been done. The researcher offers an epistemological justification that suggests advocacy in education is compatible with the concept of open-mindedness and may serve as a vehicle for the realization of a university’s tripartite function: instruction, research, and community service in the form of service-learning.

Keywords: Advocacy, Research-based, tertiary level, Service learning
