Teaching and Learning Strategy: View from AUN-QA Assessment

The ASEAN Education Summit - Innovative Teaching and Learning for the 21st Century was organised by the ASEAN University Network (AUN) at Chulalongkorn University, Thailand in celebration of the 20th AUN anniversary on 6 November 2015.




The summit was graced by Ms Aporn Kanvong, Secretary-General, Office of Higher Education Commission, Ministry of Education, Thailand. The summit was organised into 3 sessions:

Session 1: Generation Z Reality and Perspective - How do I learn?
Session 2: Teaching and Learning for the New Work and Lifelong Learning and Challenges
Session 3: Teaching and Learning Strategies for Top University Administrator - How to Manage Change in the University?



Mr. Johnson Ong Chee Bin, AUN-QA expert was invited to speak on the topic "Teaching and Learning Strategy: View from AUN-QA Assessment" in Session 2.




The presentation focused on the analysis of the AUN-QA programme assessment results on “Teaching and Learning Strategy” with the objective of identifying factors that enhance teaching and learning practices. Based on the period 2007 to 2014, the results of 107 study programmes from 27 universities in 8 ASEAN countries were analysed. Based on the mean of 4.6 for Teaching and Learning Strategy criterion, universities in Indonesia, the Philippines and Vietnam scored at or above the mean.



Of the 107 programmes assessed, about half of them scored 5 (i.e. Better than Adequate) with the other half scored 4 and below. This suggests that there is room for improvement in the Teaching and Learning Strategy adopted by universities.



A sample of the ratings for the sub-criterion for Teaching and Learning Strategy was examined and the result revealed that most universities have a teaching and learning strategy however the execution of the strategy needs to be further enhanced.



To enhance quality of lifelong learning and output, universities need to have 3 readiness in Culture, People and System to support the execution of Teaching and Learning Strategy.



The celebration ended in a high note at the Gala Dinner.
