Teach like a Scientist

Collaborate, innovate, and enhance your teaching!

As a lecturer at the Faculty of Science and Engineering, do you face teaching challenges in your courses? Would you like to explore evidence-based solutions while contributing to improving student appreciation for the complexity of teaching?

Join the new Teach like a Scientist course! By submitting a teaching challenge from your own context, you can: 

  • Get a real teaching challenge addressed by a dedicated team of students, supported by educational experts, who will help analyze, design, or evaluate solutions.

  • Use your participation for professional development (add it to your R&D) 

  • Experience a new way of co-creation with students, by participating in a collaborative approach to educational innovation.

  • Network with other lecturers who are passionate about teaching, with students and educational experts, and highlight your teaching challenge, during the concluding exhibition of the course.

The Teach Like a Scientist course is developed within the NRO Comenius Teaching Fellow project “Learn, teach, appreciate” (project number 40.5.25865.213)
