Teaching methods

As the course is open to students enrolled in different programmes, it will be adapted as far as possible to the participants' professional backgrounds. It will alternate between theoretical contributions, interactive presentations, discussions and analyses of course sequences on different training issues in higher education.

Our intention is to enable students to use the theoretical input to re-read and analyse teaching/training systems in order to develop them further.

Evaluations

Personal written work describing and analysing an educational system in the light of psycho-pedagogical concepts.
