Module 1: Fundamentals of Teaching and Learning
The starting point of the foundational module (68 credit hours) is reflection on one’s own teaching practices, a theme that runs throughout the entire certificate program and facilitates the application of these concepts to one’s own teaching practice. In addition to the fundamentals of teaching and learning at universities, participants are provided with tools and methods that simplify everyday teaching and facilitate a focus on the learning process. In particular, the module addresses formats such as seminars and internships, as these are frequently used in the daily teaching of natural sciences, engineering, and business programs.
- Workshops: Teaching and Learning 1, 2, and 3 (A) (40 credit hours)
- Workshop: Engaging Methods (B) (16 credit hours)
- Workshop: Presenting (C) (12 credit hours)
