Specific entry requirements
Purpose of the course The purpose of this course is to introduce a variety of teaching and learning methods, and to stimulate a reflective approach to teaching in order to enhance students' meaningful learning and active involvement.
Intended learning outcomes At the end of the course we expect you to:
- Be able to explain general aspects of how to facilitate student learning in different teaching situations
- Be able to reflect upon own teaching experiences and use educational concepts in a discussion about teaching and learning
Contents of the course During the course we will discuss and elaborate on practical issues regarding teaching and learning in laboratory, seminars and lectures. We will discuss and work with ways to challenge students and what to do to facilitate their learning. Course participants will observe (auscultate) teaching and reflect upon their experiences. We will touch upon the role of the teacher and KI teaching policies as well as strategies for coping with stress.
Teaching and learning activities The course is designed to promote active learning and a variety of teaching and learning strategies will be used during the course. Examples are lectures, small group discussion, peer teaching, group work, literature studies, auscultation of teaching and reflection in groups.
Compulsory elements The assessment seminar the last day of the course is mandatory. If absent, the student need to present his/her knowledge at a separate occasion.
Examination To satisfactorily complete this course you must demonstrate that you have reached the learning outcomes by orally presenting your reflections of literature studies and auscultation of teaching.
