Outcomes and learning mobility
At each summer school the participants will:
- gain knowledge to empower their personal competence in teaching and learning in higher education in STEM
produce their own material to organize activities for continuous professional development in teaching and learning for lecturers at their home universities
- stay in contact with their summer school staff and peers and get (peer) feedback. In this way, the summer school peers will form a community of practice which will last beyond the summer school
- by successful completion of all parts of the STEM-CPD Summer the participants are awarded CPD-Ambassador certificate
The program of the summer school will address different issues with different goals:
- impart innovative active teaching methods for STEM university practice in order to inspire the CPD-Ambassadors to try them out in their local universities. Discussion sessions will be held about different pedagogies, their benefits and drawbacks based on educational research.
- put into practice train-the-trainer methodologies and work in co-creation in order to empower the CPD-Ambassadors to be able to transmit TPACK (technological, pedagogical content knowledge) to their colleagues
- develop strategies to organize continuous professional development (CPD) activities at local universities, tuned to the specific local situation.
reach out strategies to incentivize excellence in university STEM teaching such as evidence based course design using educational action research practice.
Organization
The 3rd STEM-CPD Summer School is organized by the ECTN Working Group Eurolecturer Academy in cooperation with the Organization Committee, the STEM-CPD Summer School Scientific Committee, and organisations and partners who support professional development in teaching and learning in higher education.
