Abstract

Undergraduate science and mathematics curricula in India are still mostly centred around content, and the pedagogy on delivering this content. This does not serve the needs of a diverse student body, nor the needs of these disciplines. Keeping in mind the multiple constraints that undergraduate teachers face, we provide some pedagogical principles for student-centred learning, and some examples illustrating these principles that we believe can be carried out in different contexts.
