Beskrivning

The 1.5 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 read the material presented at the course home page in Studium (see below). 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.

Inlärningsmål

Students who attend this course will gain:
• Knowledge about some rights and obligations for the studenters (Based on "Working conditions for Students"). Also Uppsala University’s pedagogic program (aka “Teaching and Learning at Uppsala University") will be introduced.
• Insight into various pedagogical techniques to facilitate and stimulate learning as well as active student participation
• Insight into reflective practice and relevant pedagogical research

Innehåll

Undervisning
