Introduction to Teaching and Learning in Higher Education

As a PhD student or a new teacher at LTH you are invited to Introduction to Teaching and Learning in Higher Education (this course is equivalent to the course Högskolepedagogisk introduktionskurs but given in english).

This course introduces you to current concepts of teaching and learning in higher education in order to develop your ability to improve student learning.

The course provides an introduction for your further professional development as a university teacher.

The course is focused on students and their situation including students with special needs, the role of the teacher and his/her professional development, learning as a cognitive process, different teaching methods and their effect on students learning, assessment and its impact on students learning, evaluation at different levels, communication and pedagogical qualifications for teachers in higher education.

 

Course form
The course starts with a course week (five full days, see separate schedule) including lectures, group work and individual work. Then there is a project work that will take approximately one week and has to be presented approxamately three to four weeks after the course week. Participation on this day is compulsory. To be approved on the course, 80 % presence is required during the teacher led activities. 

Priority is given to postgraduate students with another native language than swedish. Remaining places will be given to: 1) applicants who have applied on a previous occasion and were qualified at that time, and 2) applicants who has spent the longest time in postgraduate studies. If there is an agreement in the individual study plan the course can be taken in the PhD education. The course will be equal to three Swedish credits points (högskolepoäng).
