Content, progress and pedagogy of the module

The aim of this project is to support the participants in reflecting on own teaching practice and experiences and thereby develop their teaching competences, including educational planning and design. The teaching portfolio is a starting point for the participants to continuously reflect on and develop their teaching competences and will be updated by the end of the MPBL programme.

Type of instruction

In the project the general knowledge from the courses in semester 1 is linked to experiences from own teaching practice. Participants have to prepare a personal Teaching Portfolio which should contain a self-critical reflection on and evaluation of own teaching values and teaching practice, seen in the light of the concepts, theories and methods presented in the courses. The Teaching Portfolio should be presented and communicated using scientific language.

The teaching format is an individual project, including self-study, online study group work, project facilitation and thematic online sessions. In this semester, the thematic sessions focus on how to fulfill the intended learning outcomes for the project and on the concept of a teaching portfolio.
