Philosophy |
The overall goal in higher education is
not merely to have students regurgitate information, but
to develop their thinking abilities. The goal is to empower
students with the ability to explore, synthesize, and integrate
information so that it is applicable to real life situations.
This is critical because students must be able to link
theory to situation and identify problems that may exist
in the global market place.
Because
education is not isolated from society, the goal of
teaching is to enhance student’ understanding
of the connections among the role of education, the personal
responsibilities as professionals and as citizens, and
the implications of these for building a better society.
To achieve this end, three fundamental critical pedagogical
principles are followed:
a. To connect the courses’ content and objectives
with more broad social issues
b. To scrutinize and eliminate conventional relations of power in the Classroom
c. To bring social and political into the learning process.
It is believed that good research and quality teaching
is important in the academic community, but unless one
is capable of interpreting the literature, communicating
the research findings to the academic community and the
public at large, we have failed to complete the process. |
