Teaching projects
Innovative pilot projects in teaching
With a Innovedum teaching project PAKETH-Edition, you pilot innovative solutions within degree programs that are adapted in the context of PAKETH. Compared to focus projects, teaching projects PAKETH-Edition involve more parties, are more closely coordinated between the course units, and create greater transferability for other degree programs or departments.
Teaching projects PAKETH-Edition:
- are embedded in the developments of the overarching program adjustments.
- are oriented towards the development of competencies, coordinated with other learning units and can thus contribute to a better design of the workload for students.
- design the teaching and learning environment in such a way that students are actively involved in the learning process (active learning).
- establish regular and structured feedback mechanisms that support learning progress, provide orientation and contribute to the continuous improvement of learning outcomes.
- integrate performance assessments that are closely linked to the learning objectives and content of the course units and enable students to directly apply what they have learned.
- preferably work with larger course units (>=3 ECTS), focus on compulsory subjects (e.g. internships, excursions, laboratory) and involve several course units.
- include available expertise and contributions from the Teaching and Learning Office (UTL), such as advice on teaching and curriculum development, evaluation or project-based teaching.
- proactively participate in the exchange of experiences and dissemination.
The following applies to teaching projects PAKETH-Edition applications:
- Budget limit: kCHF 90
- Decision communicated after about 3 months
- Maximum duration: 2 years
- Submission period from 1.10.2024 until 1.10.2026
Project inspirations
- Optimisation of the transfer of knowledge and acquisition of
skills (e.g. for computational competencies) through coordination of
content and methods between several courses that build on one another. - Implementation of a project-based course unit over one semester that develops key subject-specific and transferable skills for the degree program as a whole.
- Supporting continuous learning with a distributed workload during the semester by offering extended practice sessions with automated feedback and integrated performance assessments at staggered intervals.
- Implementation of a learning and reflection program
that supports the holistic development of students' skills over the
course of their studies.Promoting activating teaching by redesigning suitable course units for block teaching with a distributed examination load - ....
