Teaching and Learning Approaches

Since the ED program is designed to be outcome-based education. The constructive alignments among program learning outcomes (PLOs), teaching and learning approaches, and assessment for the program are taken into consideration. Moreover, these alignments are transferred to each course of the program as shown in the following link. Table 1 provides the teaching and learning approaches of the program which align to PLO and assessment.

Table 1 Overview constructive alignment of the curriculum with teaching and learning approach and student assessment scheme in ED program (2019 curriculum)

Details on the teaching and learning approaches and student assessment methods and tools are provided in each course specifications as given in the following links. These are also announced at the beginning of the class. Each subject may have different teaching and learning approaches. Most of the clips from lecture-based learning given in the hybrid classroom and demonstration approach from the laboratory class are recorded and you can view the clips in “MUKA e-Learning”. You could also track your assessments and feedback from the class in “MUKA e-Learning” or “Microsoft Team” or “Google Classroom”. Please check the learning platform to be used with your lecturers at the beginning of the class. In some classes, you may have to go for field trips which are outside of the campus. Case study or problem-based learning may be taken into consideration. Please check rubric scores or marking schemes of the courses in order to understand how to assess PLOs of the courses.

It should be noted that learning approaches for students are not only given in the classes, but learning approaches of extra-curricular activities being provided by Mahidol university and MUKA campus also help you to improve your skills and competences. Further information about the activities is given in the following link.
