Central Principles of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education: Guiding Students (Basics)

Advice which is conducive to learning, viz. student-centered and competence-oriented, is fundamental to academic success. In this introductory workshop, we will reflect the lecturer’s different roles in the advisory process, focus the systematic and efficient organisation and preparation of office hours and consider possibilities to actively include unprepared, anxious and reluctant students into the advisory process.

Learning Outcomes

At the end of the course the participants…

• can define their roles in the advisory process in order to enhance student learning
• can structure an advisory process into orientation phase, change phase and evaluation phase
• can systematically and efficiently organise and prepare their office hours
• can actively include unprepared, anxious and reluctant students into the advisory process

This Workshop is a part of our new workshop series “Central Principles of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education”.  Central Principles of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education addresses international lecturers who teach at universities in NRW.
