Science and Engineering Teaching and Learning

This course introduces contemporary research findings in the teaching and learning of science and technology subjects in higher education, develops participants' teaching skills, and provides a framework for on-going development of their skills through evaluation of their own teaching practices.

The course is organised in four parts:

• lectures on research on teaching and learning in higher education (8 hours of class),
  
• reading of research evidence on teaching and learning (9 hours of independent student work)
  
• skills workshops in which participants can practice and get feedback (8 hours in class) and
  
• the implementation of research-informed teaching approaches in a course on which the participant works, and the evaluation of this intervention (25 hours independent work).
