Seminar’s Focus
This workshop provides a basic introduction into didactical planning of teaching (lectures as well as the scope of a whole semester) and fostering learning processes of students. During the workshop the participants are invited to work out their own teaching-plans. If required we’ll also cover the topic of accompanying Bachelor-/Master-Theses, especially focussing on the question of fair and transparent grading.

Learning-Outcomes
  • The participants will understand basics of how people learn.
  • They will reflect their role as a teacher at a university and develop a professional self-concept of teaching at universities.
  • They will be able to distinguishing between working-processes and learning-processes and design their teaching in order to evoke and support learning-processes of their students purposefully.
  • They formulate respective learning-targets and competences
  • They understand the role of Problems and Cognitive Dissonances for Learning and use concepts of Problem Based Learning (PBL) to design their teaching.
  • At the end of the seminar, they will come up with a rough plan for their next semester of teaching as well as a sketch out for the first lecture
  • They grade theses transparently and fair.
