VICE-CHANCELLOR’S AWARD FOR TEACHING EXCELLENCE
CANDIDATE
Dr Eva Nisa is a Lecturer in Anthropology and a passionate educator in Southeast Asian Studies and Religious Studies. Key to her successful teaching philosophy is the idea that students learn best in inclusive and safe environments. Dr Nisa believes that both students and teachers have responsibilities in the teaching and learning process. Students are co-participants in the process of knowledge production, rather than passive receivers.
“I understand that it's very important to have a good balance between student-centered and/or learner-centered and teacher-centered learning environments.”
“Democratic education is very important because we give students the space for them to grow. At the same time, I often emphasise that they need to respect each other.”
