Course content and structure

The course offers you an opportunity to develop skill and confidence in your teaching in science. The course consists of the following elements:

• Discipline based education; teaching and learning in science
• Planning your teaching
• Assessment and feedback
• Roles, ethical issues and security aspects

The course corresponds to 3 ECTS credits. The course includes four mandatory course days held on campus (all including a one-hour lunch break). Please note that there are tasks to be done before we meet the first course day.

In between course days, as well as before the first course day, the participant will perform home assignments and tasks. Therefore, remember to set aside time for this. During the course, there will be group discussions and group work. The course also includes a concluding oral presentation of some part of the planning assignment.

All participants who have completed all mandatory exercises and tasks as well as participated in all course days will gain a pass on the course. Absence from, in total, four hours can be replaced by a written assignment. Any further absence requires re-registration for the entire course.

Further information about the course will be sent out approximately 2 weeks before the start of the course. Registration for the course stays open as long as there is seats left on the course and can take place no later than 1 week before the first course day.

After the course, participants will be able to:

• Use core concepts of teaching and learning in higher education.
• Adhere to the relevant rules and regulations for teaching in Swedish higher education, in particular at Stockholm University.
• Plan a teaching session to be carried out on a relevant course.
