Foundations of teaching and learning

In Foundations of teaching and learning, you will work with educational development that puts students' learning at the center. During the course, each participant will develop a learning module, and the final course assignment consists of a reflection on this development work. In the development of the component, legal, pedagogical and didactic aspects should be taken into account, and the course therefore covers national regulations and local governing documents as well as different perspectives on learning, different types of learning activities and different forms of examination.

Presentations, seminars, workshops and reflection exercises are used as forms of study. The teaching is conducted both in whole groups and in small working groups. Course material and course information are published on Örebro University's learning platform. The course is run digitally.

160 h corresponding to 4 weeks of full-time studies or 6 university credits (högskolepoäng). Please note that a passed result on the course only gives credits (högskolepoäng) after formal approval from your department or school.

As the collegial exchange of experiences is an important element of the course, participation in all teaching is mandatory. In the event of an impediment, the participant must contact the course convenor in good time for a discussion about how the learning activity can be carried out or the course content obtained in an alternative way. If the attendance rate is lower than 75%, the participant must retake the course.
