LH213V Scholarship of teaching and learning 3.0 credits

The course is project based with the overall aim to support the participants to develop a reflective approach to their teaching practice, and be able to relate education and teaching-learning practices in their field of knowledge to education theory and research.

The course participants, in groups or individually, perform a smaller study of education, teaching-learning practices or student centred activities in higher education, in a field of knowledge closely related to their own teaching practice. The course consists of three mandatory meetings, during which the participants will be able to support each other in their work with the studies and their documentation.

The course will develop the participant’s ability to document a study in educational science and publish the results.

The overall aim of the course is that the participants shall develop a reflective approach to their teaching practice, and be able to relate education and teaching-learning practices in their field of knowledge to education theory and research.

After the course the participant shall be able to

• perform a study of education, teaching-learning practices and student centered activities in higher education, using an educational science approach

• relate findings from a study of education, teaching-learning practices and student centred activities in higher education to literature and current research in higher education

• make conclusions from studies of their own, literature and current research, and propose concrete improvements to teaching-learning practices

• critically discuss the results and conclusions of their own and others’ studies, in the light of teaching and learning in higher education
