ABOUT PSG CARE

The PSG Center for Academic Research and Excellence was founded in October, 2015 by the PSG & Sons Charities Trust with a mission to promote teaching excellence in all the colleges under the Trust. Toward this end, CARE will encourage the use of learner-centric pedagogical practices that facilitate effective learning and will foster dialogue and reflection on effective teaching through workshops, seminars, one-to-one consultation and other activities. The center also focuses on creating and sustaining effective faculty student relationships and aims to pursue its mission by:

3.Promoting the use of technology in the PSG classrooms and establishing an environment for effective use of technology in enhancing the teaching- learning process
4.Helping faculty members assess the effectiveness of their teaching through appropriate student and peer feedback mechanisms
5.Encouraging research activities that enhance the quality of teaching at PSG and supporting dissemination of research findings about the teaching learning process.
