The Teaching & Learning Methods Unit

People are at the heart of everything we stand for. Our goal is to improve the fundamental processes involved in teaching and learning at PNG University of Technology.

We act as a resource to the PNG University of Technology academic community to enhance instructional practices and deepen student learning; inform its practice through using and engaging in pedagogical research; and contribute expertise to the broader external discussions in Higher Education. The Teaching Learning Methods Unit exists to inspire teaching excellence, innovation, technology use and inquiry in teaching and learning within and beyond the Papua New Guinea University of Technology. We encourage interactive collaboration with individuals, academic departments, and academic support units to foster capacity and community around teaching and promote an institutional culture that values effective student-centered teaching and meaningful learning.

To achieve our mission, we:

• provide higher degree research support and resources to PNGUoT students and staff.
• support exploration, integration, and evaluation of different approaches to teaching and learning.
• listen to, question, encourage, and celebrate PNGUoT Educators.
• anticipate and address evolving issues and opportunities within higher education.
• offer expertise locally, nationally, and internationally to foster leadership in Teaching.
• provide cross-disciplinary, institution-wide  Professional Development programs.
• support instructional and curriculum development for individuals, departments, and faculties.
• communicate  and support best practices in teaching and learning at PNGUoT.
• provide internal industrial training for fourth year School of Communication & Development Studies students in liaison with the surrounding community for community development opportunities.  
• provide on the job training (OJT) opportunities for students from rural TVET colleges in Morobe in collaboration with PNGUoT HR.
