Program Content

Enabling a healthy and open learning environment in colleges requires efforts at various levels and includes addressing concerns related to access, inclusion, safety, comfort and importantly ensuring dignity. Also, it calls for teaching that it is relevant to the context/reality of the students and empowers them to be able to make meaningful choices and decisions. One of the possible and important factors to enable critical and creative thinking abilities among students is through the Constructivist Classroom approach that focuses on building learning from the knowledge of students and further following a dialogic model to learning which includes negotiation and questioning as its core principle.
