Modules

Aan de Rijksuniversiteit Groningen bieden we drie afzonderlijke modules aan in ons reguliere BKO-traject. Elke BKO-module bestaat uit 2 workshops van een halve dag en reflectieve opdrachten. Alle BKO-workshops zijn op locatie (op de Zernike Campus). Alle materialen zijn beschikbaar op Brightspace.

Hieronder vind je de beschrijving van elke module en de aankomende cursusdata. Als een cursus al vol is, kun je contact opnemen met docentprofessionalisering rug.nl om op een wachtlijst geplaatst te worden. Let op: het is niet toegestaan om je in te schrijven voor een van de modules voorafgaand aan het BKO-intakegesprek met je teaching coach.

NB. Aangezien de BKO-modules enkel in het Engels worden aangeboden, zijn de onderstaande beschrijvingen enkel in het Engels beschikbaar.

Teaching and Evaluating

Day one of this module primarily focuses on the central questions of “What is ‘good’ teaching and how is it done?” Students are more likely to be successful in classrooms that are organised, safe, and active in a way that focuses on the facilitation of learning rather than passive delivery of content. That being said, this is a developed conception that occurs over time for all teachers. Through conversations with colleagues from across campus as well as looking at observation instruments to further reflect on quality teaching, we hope to start this process of developing these instructional competences.

Day two takes these ideas into a more specific topic: the learning that happens in supervision moments with students whether that be in individual or small group processes. Lastly, and not to be overlooked, we will reflect on how we can evaluate our teaching through multiple sources while thinking through future improvements to your teaching.

Important: as also stated in the ‘entry requirements’ listed below, please register for this module only during blocks where you will be teaching as observations of your classroom teaching are required.

Learning outcomes

After completing the training, you will be able to:

  • Choose suitable modes of instruction (various seminar forms, practicals) that align with overall course design;
  • Facilitate stimulating and interactive teaching and learning activities for small and large groups of students;
  • Explain and reflect how you supervise students in either group and/or individual supervision (e.g. thesis);
  • Critically reflect on instructional performance through feedback that you have received and given from different peers as colleagues and students;
  • Reflect on multiple evaluative sources (including student course evaluations) in order to create plans for future instructional improvement.
Designing

In this module, we focus on the level of constructive alignment between the learning outcomes, teaching and learning activities, and assessment tasks in one of the courses you are teaching. We reflect on the way your course fits with the curriculum and the vision of your faculty. Besides this, you learn how to design courses that take a diverse student population into account. By doing assignments you work on the (re)design of your course.

Learning outcomes

After completing the training, you will be able to:

Assessing and Evaluating

In this module we discuss tips and tools for designing and constructing assessment, and the steps to take after the administration of the assessment. We discuss ways in which to enhance the quality of your assessment. Your own assessment practice will be central during the module. You will have to prepare for the module by watching relevant videos and making assignments. The assignments will be discussed during the meetings.
