Abstract:

Teaching is not about transferring knowledge magically to students using one-way communication. As teachers, we can help students to learn by giving guidance and providing learning activities that enable students to learn from their own knowledge framework. It is also vital that courses fit together, that is, that learning objectives, teaching activities, and assessments are aligned. These are all great and well-established theories about learning, but how do we do this in practice? In this talk, I will provide tips, tools, and lessons learned based on my experience of teaching courses at Bachelor’s level, Master’s level, and doctoral level. I will talk about key components to what can be called structured incentive learning. In this approach, the structure of a course plays a key role and the student’s incentive for learning is in focus. As a teacher, my hope is that you (as another teacher) will learn something new, be provoked, or just get some new insights and inspiration.
