Objectives

MAIN GOAL 

The course aims to develop basic skills for teaching in the context of Higher Education.

It is, therefore, an initial, basic and intensive training for doctoral students and researchers who have recently entered the teaching career or who intend, in the short term, to collaborate in teaching CUs in Higher Education.

 

Learning Objectives

• Calculate ECTS
• Define learning goals and distinguish them from competencies
• Discuss the principles of active learning
• Take the advantages of adopting new pedagogical approaches (constructivist alignment) and new teaching strategies and methods
• Apply pedagogical strategies according to contextual specifics
• Select assessment methods and techniques appropriate to the defined objectives and competencies

Teaching methods and learning activities

This is a 1.5ECTS course which means it requires a total of 40.5 hours of work to complete. 

Only 14 hours will be of contact/in the classroom (5 lessons of 2.5h/3h). Therefore, the remaining hours will be for class preparation, organization and review of materials, finishing the proposed exercises in classes and deepening the knowledge. 

All classes will have a practical exercise.

Some materials will be posted online.
