We have to rethink our education as our student numbers are continuously growing. Sometimes this asks for disruptive innovations. On the other hand a more efficient organisation, reframing your education and/or activating your students by taking a coaching role can be solutions too. 4TU.CEE invited Kristina Edström and Jakob Kuttenkeuler to inspire lecturers on this topic in interactive workshops and keynotes that will take place on 4-6 October.
Edström and Kuttenkeuler will visit Delft, Eindhoven and Twente to share their experience and give tips to improve your teaching practice and the learning skills of your students. How can we simultaneously improve student learning and cost-effectiveness of teaching? The key principle is that teachers should spend more of their time doing things that lead to high quality learning, and less time on things that do not contribute to learning. Practical examples will be used to challenge old ways of thinking and question some taken-for-granted practices in education. When the dust has settled we have tried a new way of seeing teaching – from a learning perspective. Finally we ask the tough question: what makes us keep doing things that do not contribute much to learning?
