ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵ

The ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵ Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) as an arm in achieving the University’s goal in providing learner-centered contexts organized Teaching and Assistantship Preparation (TAP), an in-service training for new faculty which goals were to emphasize the principles of ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵ teaching-learning pedagogy and prepare both the junior faculty and the teaching assistants (Tas) for practice in the ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵ environment.

The training comprises six sessions of plenary talks and workshops as strategies for equipping the faculty with face-to-face instructions. The plenary discussions cover the essential responsibilities of the ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵ faculty, the ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵ educator (then and) in the now normal, student-centered pedagogies, assessment in the ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵ teaching-learning context, and a systematic approach to TL: reflecting the principles into practice. The sessions promote students’ involvement in the decision-making process on what, when, and how they study.

During the Academic Year 2022-2023, TAP catered to 77 new faculty and teaching assistants and ran in four different batches: August 2-5, October 7-25, November 10-28, 2022 and January 4-12, 2023. The facilitators of the sessions were ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵ faculty Israel Soberano, Irish Sherina Digo, John Angelo de Leon, and Eunice Grace Asistio.
