Teaching is an important element of the activity of a university. Being linked with research activity, it is the foundation of the academic community. The practice of science has a strong influence on the quality of teaching and, of course, good teaching should benefit from research. Research activity related to teaching also gains significantly. As far as possible, both types of academic activity should reinforce each other. In order for academic teaching to be considered good, it is necessary not only to know specific techniques, tools and methods of teaching, but above all, to constantly and consciously reflect on the goals and outcomes of education. It requires a constant effort to use the knowledge of how people learn and apply teaching principles based on good research to achieve the goals. The overall aim of the course will be:
- shaping the knowledge necessary in the teaching process and strengthening the efficiency of searching for its reliable sources.
- awakening and improving the teachers' reflection in close connection with the didactic and research practice of the participants,
- shaping the skills and attitudes conducive to the development of competences of an academic teacher who cares about his individual development, and at the same time is able to interact with other academic teachers.
The classes will show the special importance of academic didactics as an aspect of the academic community, in which students play an important, subjective role, and the creation of bonds between science and teaching requires continuous shaping and development of teaching competences. General objectives of the workshop: - presentation of the basics of knowledge necessary to take on the role of an academic teacher and strengthening the ability to search for its reliable sources. awakening and improving reflection on the goals, content and methods of academic teaching in close connection with the didactic and research practice of the participants, - shaping the skills and attitudes conducive to the development of competences of an academic teacher who cares about his individual development, and at the same time is able to interact with other academic teachers. The form of the classes is to help in improving teamwork skills. In class, strategies and techniques will be used
There are three modules:
1) planning the cycle of classes (course) and individual classes (issues related to, among others, formulating educational goals and selecting appropriate teaching content, methods, didactic aids with the formulation of general and specific goals,
2) conducting classes: styles, methods, strategies and techniques of teaching,
3) assessment: issues related to, inter alia, with the functions and criteria for diagnostic, monitoring, formative and summative assessment.
