"Teaching Through Research & Imparting Evidence-Based Knowledge Through Teaching"
Teaching in higher education or academia should promote critical thinking on the basis of evidence-based knowledge gain & transfer. Different media, methods & environments can be employed according to group sizes and specified learning outcomes. This process of "Constructive Alignment" needs to be regularly evaluated. The list below includes (a) courses & lectures that I am/have teaching/taught & (b) didactic courses I took for my professional development in higher education:
International Certificate of Teaching in Higher Education
Higher education shifts from teaching to learning. Lecturers at universities require professional teaching skills that stimulate sustainable learning fostering evidence-based decision making. Various learning settings at universities (e.g. lectures, seminars, webinars, tutorials, lab work) enable different teaching strategies resulting in different learning outcomes. The list below includes didactic-courses I took for professional teaching development in academia (240 hours):
