Beskrivning
The 1 credits course “Introduction to teaching” aims at providing new Ph.D. students and post-docs with basic knowledge and practical skills in teaching. The course is suited for Ph.D. students and post-docs with no or very little teaching experience. This course aims to instill confidence in the participants by focusing on practical issues pertinent to their upcoming teaching sessions. The course will mainly focus on how to handle lectures, seminars and laboratory sessions. The underlining pedagogical idea behind this course is a modified "flipped classroom"-approach. In other words, it is important for the course that you in preparation for the discussions and group work, that form the basis of the course, have spent about 1,5 days reading and reflecting on the material presented at the course home page in Studium (link to be sent to registered participants). In case of more applicants than space in the course, first year PhD-students will be prioritized.
If you for any reason cannot attend the course, you must inform the course leader at least 14 days before the first meeting. Otherwise, your research group will have to pay an administrative fee (2000 SEK).
Inlärningsmål
Students who attend this course will:
• be aware of the rights and obligations of University students
and of the university’s pedagogical program.
• recall various pedagogical techniques to facilitate and
stimulate learning as well as active student participation.
• briefly explain basic reflective practice.
Innehåll

1. Individual reading (approx. 1 days)
2. Work-shops discussing different teaching situations (2 days, absolutely mandatory)
3. Pair-wise observations in a lecture, seminar or laboratory session
4. Pair-wise writing of reflective report
5. Group discussion of observations and reflective reports (half-day, mandatory on site)
Undervisning
Once accepted to the course, participants will be registered in Studium and gain access to all material.
If you cannot attend the course, the course leader has to be notified at the latest on Nov 9th. Otherwise, the research group has to pay an administrative fee (2000 SEK).
