This course is directed to those who would like to develop student active-teaching and at the same time develop in the role as teacher. Today’s universities should develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes that are in demand in working life and society.
Case method and problem based learning are two forms of teaching that can be used to develop student's independence, knowledge, critical judgement and problem solving.
This course is aimed at teachers who want to learn more about student active-teaching.

Teaching strategy
The course is designed to ensure a high degree of participant activity and is carried out to a great extent based on Problem Based Learning. Your own knowledge and experiences and reflections are a valuable contribution to the collective knowledge building in the group. During the course you have the opportunity to process your new knowledge in base groups.
The pedagogical view of the course is to learn by doing and then to consolidate through reflection with peers. Furthermore the group's process will be examined. The Case Method is going to be treated independently in order to make the two pedagogical strategies clearer and separate. The teachers who take part in the course act primarily as supervisors. Three of the course days are to be used for an assignment that will be presented and discussed on the final day of the course.
The course extends over two weeks of which four whole days and three half days are scheduled.
Course dates: Aug 20, Oct 10 & 16, Nov 4 & 21 & 27, Dec 17 Location: Läraren, UPL (Natural Science Building)
