Progressive Teaching and Learning

Gawad Pangulo for Progressive Teaching and Learning

There is a need to showcase as models the university’s outstanding educators who enrich the course content and innovate in pedagogy while continuing to uphold the fundamental value and relevance of their courses. There is a need to promote progressive teaching and learning that will sharpen the minds and excite the imagination of our students, encourage critical thinking, hone their physical, social and mental skills, broaden their perspectives, and encourage them to make use of technology effectively and responsibly to pursue knowledge and nurture their innovative and creative spirit.

The UP System Gawad Pangulo for Progressive Teaching and Learning is a competition which aims to recognize faculty who are outstanding in course development and teaching. The one-time competition will be held in two rounds. The finalists from the first round will be awarded P50,000 each to prepare materials that will be presented at the second round at a UP System-wide competition event. The Gawad Pangulo winners (maximum of three) will be awarded P150,000 each.

The faculty member is responsible for preparing at least one-half of the course syllabus and materials.
