    The TEC: Fundamentals of University Teaching Resources Site is now accessible!

    Masaya po naming ibinabalita sa inyo na accessible na ang Teaching Effectiveness Course: Fundamentals of University Teaching Resources Site. Kailangan po ang UP webmail para ma-access ito. Bukod po sa QR code provided, narito ang link: https://sites.google.com/up.edu.ph/tec

    Ito po muna ang ating “pantawid,” lalo na para sa ating mga bagong faculty, habang inaantay ang TEC na gaganapin ngayong midyear. Sa atin pong mga kasamang faculty, paki-bookmark na po ang website na ito for easier access.

    Ang site po na ito ay repository ng iba’t ibang resources — lecture videos, reading materials, suggested activities — batay sa naging virtual TEC noong August 2021. Pero pwede rin po itong itrato bilang isang self-paced online course habang nagpa-practice din po kami na bumuo ng ganitong online courses. Pwedeng pagdaanan ang modules weekly o monthly, kung may libreng oras ang ating faculty.

    Napakalaki po ng aming pasasalamat sa mga naging resource persons at learning partners for their generosity and overall awesomeness. Hangad po naming makatulong ito sa ating faculty tungo sa lalong pagpapabuti ng ating pagtuturo.

    Kung may mga tanong o mungkahi, mag-email lang po sa ovcaa.oatdiliman@up.edu.ph

  • SET ANSWERING FOR FIRST SEM A.Y. 2021-2022

    SET ANSWERING FOR FIRST SEM A.Y. 2021-2022

    The Student Evaluation of Teaching (SET) Answering Module in the Computerized Registration System (CRS) is open from December 2, 2021 to January 6, 2022 only. This applies to all units except the MBA and MS Finance programs of the College of Business Administration, PM-TMEM and ASP.

    Students may accomplish the SET by logging into their CRS accounts and clicking on the “SET Answering Module.” Those who fail to answer the SET will be tagged as “low priority” in the next term’s pre-enlistment, while the students in the MBA calendar who fail to answer the SET will be delayed for 1 hour in the next term’s real-time enlistment.

    Note that the evaluation of the teaching performance of Teaching Fellows and Teaching Associates (TFs/ TAs) should also be conducted during the period stated above via CRS (if available). For TFs and TAs who are not included in the CRS, kindly accomplish this Google Form during the same period: https://bit.ly/EvalforTATF
    For assistance with online evaluation of TFs/TAs, kindly email the Office for the Advancement of Teaching at ovcaa.oatdiliman@up.edu.ph

    We request all units to inform their faculty members regarding the online SET, and the faculty members, in turn, to actively encourage their students (both undergraduate and graduate) to accomplish the SET carefully and regularly.

  • Working from Home | Cultivating Effectiveness and Wellbeing Workshop

    Working from Home | Cultivating Effectiveness and Wellbeing Workshop

    “Mindfulness is a practice that can help students of all ages tune their instrument of learning. By that I mean their entire being—body, mind, and heart…as well as their relationship among themselves as learners, and thus, a social/environmental dimension that is also crucial to optimal learning and inquiry.” – Jon Kabat-Zinn
    Join Mindfulness at Play (MAP) as we explore what mindfulness is and how it can help teachers work from home, cultivate their own (and eventually their students’) well-being and maybe even practice it during classes.
    The two-part workshop will feature many practical exercises to help us ground amidst this challenging context (university closure, lack of f2f interactions, worries about our own and others’ health and so on). The two sessions will also help teachers release stress, frustration and anxiety by
    a) paying attention to the breath and the body; and
    b) cultivating that awareness that arises from “careful and care-filled” attending.
    The hope is that these sessions will not only jumpstart teachers’ mindfulness practices but that the teachers will also be inspired to explore how the mindfulness exercises learned can be integrated into their teaching.
    Participants are highly encouraged to attend both dates if your schedule permits. But you may attend only one session. Please wear comfortable clothing that will allow you to move freely while sitting down.
    Event Dates:
    November 22 and 29, 2021
    Time: 1:30 – 3:00 PM
    Register through this link: bit.ly/2XMgu6Y or via the QR Code provided in the photo.
    This is a free workshop for UP Faculty.
    Slots are limited.
