Introduction to University Pedagogy (IUP)
Learning outcome
The course provides you with the competences to plan, carry out and evaluate your own teaching. You will experience various examples of teaching as well as you will work with applying selected pedagogical principles and use these to make informed decisions about your own teaching. Finally you will be engaged in discussions of key issues concerning teaching and learning in higher education more generally.
The participants will improve their skills to:
- formulate clear and precise learning goals
- apply student activation in their lessons
- engage students through problem based activities
| Due to the COVID-19 situation, the course has been reworked so that it is now a mix between face-to-face and online activities. We continuously evaluate the situation and consider changes in order to keep participants safe. As a result, Monday’s teaching is reduced to a half day face-to-face (either 9-12:30 or 12:30-16, depending on which team you have been assigned), while teaching is online Tuesday 8:45-12. |
The course is an intensive 4 day course (Monday, Wednesday-Friday), all within the same week. Active participation throughout the course is the criteria to pass the course.
Please, note that we expect you to do coursework on Tuesday as well. Participants will prepare and teach a short lesson during the course and contribute to discussions and the exchange of ideas based on the other participants’ lessons. These lesson exercises will be used as the basis for giving specific feedback to each participant as well as a vantage point to discuss general principals of teaching.
77 working hours (47 for preparation, and 30 for course).
- PhD students and other scientific staff at the Faculties of SCIENCE
