Introduction

The 1st Symposium on Teaching and Learning in Higher Education (TLHE Symposium) is organised by the Centre for Development of Teaching and Learning (CDTL), National University of Singapore (NUS). This two-day symposium, was held on 6th and 7th July 2000 in NUS, provided a forum for teachers to interact with one another and exchange ideas. Pedagogical philosophy and pedagogical theory in recent years have become specialised disciplines. This symposium will approach them from the standpoint of practising educators who reflect on their practice. We encourage teachers to forge a philosophy and theory on the basis of their own experience of teaching and learning, with the hope that this activity will yield more productive curricula and teaching strategies. Our ultimate goal is the increased awareness of pedagogical issues that result in enhanced teaching and learning.

Topics to be explored will include:

  • Active learning
