| Abstract | On 21-22 October 2022, the PSHS-CVC (academe), Shell (industry), and the LGU Cauayan City (government) collaborated on a Triple-Helix project to conduct a NXplorers hybrid workshop for the City’s research students and teachers. The NXplorers program trains highschoolers into becoming positive change actors for issues in food, water, and energy sustainability. The 106 teachers and students from 18 senior high schools in Cauayan City completed six one-hour workshops and then pitched their ideas forward using video presentations. Collectively, their NXtools outputs were rated satisfactory on the criteria of content quality, technical fidelity, and idea continuity in a double-blind evaluation by experts in NXthinking. This meant that the participants were able to practice what they learned from the training. The participants acknowledged the benefits of the program on their problem statement definition, solutions ideation, social impact study, and knowledge transfer approaches to research. The participants considered how the method used – hybrid workshop – may be improved to bridge the polarizing challenges of the high cost of large in-person workshops and the low knowledge retention in full virtual training. In a focus group discussion, the participants validated the results of post-event surveys that hybrid workshops are a viable training method in situations where people involved cannot easily congregate in one place due to distance or health safety concerns, and yet participants need tactile and real-time experience in using the actual tools for skills enhancement. To get the full picture, they stacked up seven team-based training formats versus quality indicators such as scalability, learning, and retention; and the aggravating factors of complexity, vulnerability, and cost. They decided that small-group coaching is the best method for and hybrid workshops can only measure up when the technical challenges inherent to online training are minimized an |
