Advanced pedagogy - new approaches to successful teaching and instructing
This course offers the opportunity to be challenged by a fresh look at what is commonly known as the art of teaching. This is achieved by presenting conceptual keys to innovative pedagogy and didactics in vocational education. The learning of a modern methodology, as well as the development of attitudes to implement quality-based training will be addressed.
Awareness of the importance and potential for improvement through high quality teaching and supervision in vocational education and training (VET) is gradually growing across nations and continents. In fact, the best vocational training system is of little value if, in the end, the pedagogy and the didactics fail to connect with the learners' attention. Teaching and learning must be thought and conceptualized from the learner’s perspective. This means that new teaching methods that serve the learner must be found and explored in order to raise effectivity of teaching and instructing.
The course will take place from 05 to 09 June 2023 in face-to-face format.
