In this module we will address a couple of themes that have to do with teaching students in Higher Education. Students who are active learners are more engaged and have more fun. Compared to passive learners they are more successful in finishing their studies. To learn actively, we need to make sure that teaching enables this. In this module we will give you some tips and show examples how to facilitate students’ learning, to align your teaching methods with your learning outcomes and what good teachers do. Your own teaching practice will be central during the module.

During the second session, participants can choose between two topics: teaching small groups or teaching large groups.

Learning goals

After completing the training, you will be able to:

• Choose suitable modes of instruction (various seminar forms, practicals) that tie in with your learning outcomes.
• Facilitate stimulating and interactive teaching and learning activities for small and large groups of students.
• Adapt your teaching to your students’ prior knowledge and expectations.
• Reflect on the way you supervise students doing group work (process supervision) and/or supervise individual students, e.g. when writing their thesis (process supervision).
• Describe how to take intercultural aspects into account in your teaching.
• Reflect on your performance through feedback that you have received and given from different peers as colleagues and students.
