Course start: Knowledge, learning and practical teaching (KLL)
Course period: 2023-09-01 - 2023-12-01
Target group
This is a good course to start with if you do not have any courses in higher education pedagogy. The course is primarily aimed at new teachers at Karlstad University, but the course is focused on practical teaching, and therefore suitable for teachers with extensive experience as well. This course is also suitable for doctoral students who will teach.
Extent
80 hours. Approximately 40 h are scheduled lectures.
For doctoral students, it is suggested that the course includes 3 credit.
Content
When meeting students, in the classroom, online, individually or in groups, the teacher must handle the situation in such a manner that the student undertakes the endeavor of learning something new. Based on research about learning and different types of knowledge, this course aims to give practical tools for skillful teaching at the university level.
In the course, we engage in the practicalities of handling various, common, teaching scenarios such as lecturing and/or laboratory supervision, in various group sizes.
To be approved for the course and receive a course certificate, the participant must be present and participate in all five meetings. A catch up day will be arranged for those who miss a meeting.
