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.
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
The course outline:
1. Individual reading (approx. 1.5 days). Please note, as stated above, the pre-reading is an important part of the course so make sure you have the time to read and reflect
2. Work-shops discussing different teaching situations (2 days, absolutely mandatory on site)
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
After deadline Mar 15th, participants will be registered in Studium and gain access to all material.
NOTE! If you cannot attend the course, the course leader has to be notified at the latest March 22nd. Otherwise the research group has to pay an administrative fee.
There are no exceptions regarding the attendance during the first two days. If you, for any reason, cannot attend, you will need to apply for the following course.
Examination
Full-time attendance of the course and completed written assignments. The first on-site session of the course is absolutely mandatory and essential for the pair-wise observations. As knowledge is created during group work, it is not possible to compensate for non-attendance, regardless of the reason.
