Observer Report
Oxford University Press (OUP) organized a symposium for schoolteachers on the theme ‘Transformative Learning: Encourage, Engage, Empower’. The annual symposium was held as part of OUP’s continuous efforts to impart contemporary pedagogical skills to teachers with a view to improve teaching outcomes.
Conducted by OUP authors and trainers from Pakistan and abroad, the objective of the symposium was to explore the ways in which transformational learning can result in a fundamental change in learners as they shift from simple knowledge acquisition to reflective, conscious, and meaningful learning experiences that truly empowers them.
Around 150 teachers from schools across Pakistan attended the symposium which provided the participants, facilitators, and trainers a valuable platform to discuss the shifts in teaching methods, using classroom time effectively, and ways to engage students to transform their learning journeys.
