Course for Teaching Assistants

Learning outcomes 

The course provides participants with new perspectives on teaching through different kinds of activities (group discussions, exchange of experiences, presentations) and enables the teaching assistants to plan, carry out and evaluate their teaching, focusing on the outcome of the students.  

Through the course, the participants will be provided with tools: 

  • To plan, carry out and evaluate their teaching 
  • To identify challenges and opportunities to act in a given teaching situation 
  • To try out/ test and evaluate new initiatives in their teaching. 

 

 

 

 

 

The course has a scope of approx. 10 hours of teaching. The course starts with workshop activities (on site and online). The course is concluded with an assignment. In the assignment each participant reflects on their teaching. The assignment is presented at a final meeting a few months after the first day of the course. The course is based on active participation in both plenary, group and virtual discussions, based on the experiences of the participants. Each participant hands in small assignments during the course before teaching.  

The English version of the course is under development and may vary slightly in scope and format compared to the Danish version.
