"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):

Learning and Teaching at Universities: Psychological Background and Implications
How to Make Lectures more Stimulating for Learning Processes
Speaking Skills in Higher Education: Ready for Comprehension not Printing
How to Plan and Structure Courses at Universities
How to Assess Competencies in Higher Education
Appealing and Efficient Methods of Teaching for Seminars, Courses, Workshops and Lectures
How to Navigate Efficient and Productive Meetings
Leading Skills and Coaching A (basics)
Leading Skills and Coaching B (advanced)
How to be a good Supervisor
Developing a Structured Teaching and Learning Portfolio
