Course content
|
The training sessions are focused on three main areas of teaching in higher education. A.From teaching to learning The session deals with various approaches to learning, course content, teaching methods, assessment, and evaluation. Discussions will be held on student-centeredness at various levels: university, degree program, and curriculum. Moreover, principles of innovative course design, contemporary trends that influence teaching at universities will be introduced. B.Course design Course design is understood as a core element of good university teaching. The skills of designing a university course and writing a comprehensive student-centred syllabus that facilitates the learning process is the most important learning outcome for the participants of this workshop. Key issues related to the understanding of a scholarly approach to academic course design and writing a course syllabus will be discussed. These include: principles and best practices in course design, the course design process, course aims, learning outcomes, transferable skills, discipline-specific course structures, course alignment, etc. C.Students´ Assessment In our approach, assessment is integral to the achievement of good university learning and to good course design and we hope to provide grounding in some key methods of assessment that make up a repertoire of a professional university teacher. The first part of the unit will provide a basic understanding of the most problematic issues in academic assessment in social sciences. The topics include: discussion on student-centred assessment methods, critical evaluation of existing assessment techniques, designing valid and reliable assessment techniques. In the second half of the unit the stress will be on more complex or innovative assessment techniques and on the relationship between the course content, the academic course aims and the choice of appropriate and varied assessment tools. Emphasis will be put on how to formulate appropriate assessment criteria that can measure the fulfilment of course objectives through innovative methods. The assessment types to be discussed will include: projects, group work, student portfolios, self-assessment tools.
