Læringsmål
Kurset giver nye perspektiver på undervisningen gennem forskellige aktiviteter, erfaringsudveksling og oplæg - og hjælper derved instruktorer til at tilrettelægge og gennemføre undervisning i praksis med fokus på de studerendes udbytte.
Deltagerne opnår redskaber til at:
- planlægge, gennemføre og evaluere egen undervisning
- identificere udfordringer og handlemuligheder i en given undervisningssituation
- afprøve og evaluere nye undervisningstiltag i egen praksis
Format
Kurset har et omfang på ca. 10 undervisningstimer fordelt på 2 -3 kursusdage. Kurset indledes med workshopaktiviteter over to dage og afsluttes med en refleksionsopgave, som præsenteres på et afsluttende møde (eller alternativt med en skriftlig afløsningsopgave). Kurset er baseret på aktiv deltagelse i diskussioner både i grupper, i plenum og på kursets virtuelle platform. Deltagerne afleverer mindre opgaver forud for og mellem kursusgangene.
Målgruppe
Kurset er rettet mod studerende, der er ansat som instruktorer / teaching assistants (TAs) på Det Natur- og Biovidenskabelige Fakultet. Kurset er fortrinsvis tiltænkt nye instruktorer på SCIENCE, men erfarne instruktorer er også meget velkomne. Hvis der skulle være ledige pladser, kan vi evt. optage deltagere som ikke er fra SCIENCE.
Ph.d.-studerende anbefales at følge kurset "Introduktion til Universitetspædagogik" (IUP) som er mere omfattende end instruktorkurset.
Som noget nyt udbyder vi kurser både på dansk og engelsk:
Kurser på dansk: Forudsætter at man deltage aktivt i diskussioner på dansk både i grupper og i plenum. Her vil typisk mest være fokus det at undervise på bachelorkurser og særligt kurser på første år.
Vi har to versioner af kurset:
- Dansk version: Primært for instruktorer/TAs, der underviser på bacheloruddannelser, især på førsteårskurser.
Deltagere skal kunne tale og deltage i diskussioner på dansk. Tilmelding til det danske kursus. - Engelsk version: Primært for instruktorer/TAs, der underviser på kandidatkurser (eller på kurser på de senere år af bacheloruddannelsen). Tilmelding til det engelske kursus.

Learning outcomes
The course provides participants with new perspectives on teaching through different kinds of activities (group discussions, exchange of experiences, presentations) and enables the teaching assistants to plan, carry out and evaluate their teaching, focusing on the students´ learning outcome.
Through the course, participants will be provided with tools:
- To plan, carry out and evaluate their teaching
- To identify challenges and opportunities to act in a given teaching situation
- To try out/ test and evaluate new initiatives in their teaching.
Format
The course has a scope of approx 10 hours of teaching. The course starts with workshop activities (on site and online) and is concluded with an assignment. In the assignment each participant reflects on their teaching. The assignment is presented at a final meeting a few months after the first day of the course. The course is based on active participation in both plenary, group and virtual discussions, based on the experiences of the participants. Each participant hands in small assignments during the course.
Target group
The main target group for the TA course are students who are hired as teaching assistants at the Faculty of Science.
Please note that you must be employed as a TA in order to complete the TA course.
We have two versions of the course:
- Danish version: Primarily for TAs teaching on bachelor courses, especially first year courses.
Participants should be able to speak and participate in discussions in Danish. Registration for the Danish version. - English version: Primarily for TA's teaching master courses (or courses at later years at the bachelor education). Registration for the English version.
