Extension module
In the extension module, lecturers are given the opportunity to develop and expand their higher education didactics skills from the basic module. They attend workshops totalling at least 60 teaching units from the relevant subject areas (see below).
It should be noted that within the framework of the basic and extension module, a teaching observation (4 units) must be completed, which is assigned to the subject area "Teaching and Learning". During the observation, participants receive specific, individual and independent feedback on a specific course from experienced teaching coaches. After a preliminary discussion with the teaching coach, the coach observes a lecture or seminar session or similar. In the subsequent reflection meeting, the observed teacher receives targeted feedback that can help them to reflect on and further develop their own teaching.
Subject areas
Designing teaching, motivating and activating students for learning as well as initiating learning and understanding it as a process - these are the core tasks of every teacher. In the context of the subject area Teaching and learning participants explore the question of how teaching activities and learning processes are connected and what this means for the design, planning, implementation and reflection of their own teaching.
Examinations are an essential part of the degree programme and can fulfil selective, didactic and motivational functions. Teachers who do not conduct examinations themselves also contribute to the acquisition and assessment of competences in the sense of constructive alignment. Aim of the subject area Examination and assessment is therefore to sensitise lecturers to the importance of university examinations in the overall learning process of students and to enable them to develop a repertoire of methods for designing and conducting examinations.
Counselling students is part of undergraduate teaching at universities and covers a very broad spectrum of both academic and structural issues. In order to be able to organise counselling sessions in an appropriate, appreciative, time-efficient and goal-oriented manner and to support students on their path to academic success within an appropriate framework, lecturers in the subject area of Counselling students develop an individual counselling approach based on professional standards.
Giving and receiving feedback is an essential part of teaching - between teachers and students as well as in peer-to-peer dialogue. By succeeding in engaging in an appreciative dialogue with all relevant stakeholders at the university, teachers promote the quality development of their own teaching in particular and of teaching at the entire university in general. To this end, they learn feedback and evaluationand evaluation procedures and develop adaptation options for their own teaching.
Individual teaching counselling
If you are planning a specific course and are interested in being supported by a teaching coach, you can take advantage of individual teaching counselling. In a personal exchange, you can receive support in questions of planning, reflection and further development of your course.
Teaching counselling comprises a short preliminary meeting and three further meetings lasting approximately one hour at the beginning of the semester, during the semester and towards the end of the semester.
The teaching counselling can be credited with up to 6 work units (WU) for the extension module. The prerequisite for this is completion of the basic module or 80 units in the certificate programme. If required, please contact Anna Thorn-König at least one month before the start of the planned course.
