    Call for participants for the Teaching Effectiveness Course (TEC): Fundamentals of University Teaching

    The Office for the Advancement of Teaching (OAT), under the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs (OVCAA) would like to invite UP Diliman faculty members to participate in the Teaching Effectiveness Course (TEC) entitled “Fundamentals of University Teaching.” This face-to-face event will run from July 29 to 01 August 2024, with the venue details to be announced.

    The TEC is a 4-day (32 hours) introductory course on teaching and learning in higher education intended for new faculty members in the university, particularly those teaching at the undergraduate level. The course involves face-to-face workshops and opportunities for interaction with co-participants and facilitators. Learning is expected to be collaborative and experiential.

    All TEC sessions will start at 8:30 am and end at 5:00 pm. The TEC course is free of charge but pre-registration is required due to limited slots. We can only accommodate 50-60 participants on a first-come-first-served basis and priority will be given to those who are interested and committed to attend the entire 4-day training. Participants will be provided with lunch, snacks, and a course kit. A certificate will be awarded to those who will complete the 4-day course and submit the necessary requirements. A performance report will be forwarded to the head of the unit at the end of the program.

    Participants/Faculty members who have decided to commit to participate and finish the course can register through https://bit.ly/TECJulAug2024 on or before 12 July, 2024 (Friday).
