Teaching, Learning and Supervision in Higher Education for Adjunct Professors
This course is part of the qualifying programme in teaching and learning in higher education at LTH. It is a boiled down adapted version of LTHs overview courses intended exclusively for adjunct LTH professors who work mainly within business, industry, or public workplaces outside the higher education sector, and are employed as adjunct professors at LTH up to 20% of their working time.
The course revolves around scholarly approaches and reasoning in relation to pedagogical tasks conducted by adjunct professors at LTH, in order to support sound decision-making in teaching and supervision. This includes elements of current national and local educational policies. The course also aims to include adjunct professors in current teaching and learning discourses and initiatives of university teachers at LTH and in the use of LTH-specific educational structures (for example the course evaluation system). Educational issues of effective specialist knowledge transfer from the adjunct professors to the LTH students is a key element of the course.
Course structure
The course is given in Swedish or English depending on who signs up, and typically groups consist of just a few participants. The course starts with two meetings where basic concepts of teaching and supervision in higher education are introduced, along with the educational strategies of the faculty. The course is assessed with written and defended participant accounts of scholarly underpinned analyses of teaching and supervision design developments. A learning web platform is used to facilitate remote course participant activities.
Admission
The course is aimed exclusively for adjunct professors, or persons who will soon become so, at LTH. All qualified participants are accepted.
Scope
The course corresponds to 1 week of full-time work.
