There is thus the need to promote the development and maturation of the latent
potential of Cambodia's human resources, through the nurturing of the
intellectual achievement and encouraging a culture of meritocracy. This requires
the development of a dynamically-responsive education system, which can adapt
and use the most appropriate modern pedagogical approaches in order to maximize
returns on the investment (monetary and otherwise) made by both the
administration and their prospective targets.
The aim of the College of Education is to produce graduate teachers who can act
as role-models and meet these expectations, and thus play a role in guiding
Cambodia’s future path. An important recent development is UC’s involvement in
the CONTESSA Project.
The Contemporary Teaching Skills for South Asia (CONTESSA) project is an
EU-funded Erasmus+ programme for Capacity Building in Higher Education. It aims
to promote learner-centred teaching practice: rather than being a top-down
instructor, the teacher should try to be a guide and facilitator for the
personal development of individual students. The project is coordinated by the
University of Graz in Austria with the Technical University of Dresden in
Germany. The University of Cambodia and Paññāsāstra University have been the
Cambodian partners in this enterprise and there are two Sri Lankan universities
also actively involved.
A series of five modules related to the use of modern teaching techniques in
primary education have been designed for blended and distance-learning
approaches. The material covers best practices related to E-Education, subject
and learner-centred teaching methods, the role of teachers in the educational
sphere, diversity in the classroom and other topics crucial to modern-day
teaching. It is designed for use both as course material for degree programmes
and for Train-the-Trainers Workshops to help trainee and existing teachers to
further develop and upgrade their pedagogical skills.
- To this end, module 5 (Digital Teaching and Learning) has been
incorporated into EDC404 (Uses of ICT in Education).
The College offers the following undergraduate programs:
·
Curriculum
Design and Instruction (BEd)
·
Educational
Administration (BEd)
·
Educational
