By using various teaching techniques and methods a semester plan, which is based on various curricula will be ellaborated for a given topic. | |||||
Learning objective | 1. The students have planned a curriculum for a semester course. 2. Students reflect on formative and summative ways such a teaching unit to examine and implement parts of it. 3. The students have implemented parts of the semester curriculum. 4. The students deal with the question to what extend teaching techniques, teaching methods but also sequences of self-study must be involved in the planning. | |||||
Content | Semester Planning The students plan on the basis of the given curricula a teaching sequence. The resulting learning process is divided in phases with respect to a reasonable rhythm selecting different teaching methods. Contents The students consider different principles (eg exemplarity, competence-orientation, systematic knowledge building), so that learners understand the contents and relate them to professional practice. Self-study The students deal with various forms of self-study (moderated self-study, learning journal, PBL, case studies, etc.) and their integration in the semester plan. In addition to the formulation and determination of elements for self-study, they consider how they can check their effectiveness. Tests The students use adequate various types of examinations. They consider formative and summative ways. For this purpose they formulate test questions and tasks to match the objectives in the curriculum and semester schedule. The use of appropriate literature is required Literature Study The mentored assessment requires a specific study of literature which must be cited accordingly. | |||||
Lecture notes | A manual gives the students a guideline how to proceed. | |||||
