Competence Delevopment Courses
TUR offers specialised didatics courses for employees who have already basic pedagogical training and/or have a solid teaching experience. The courses are given alternately in Swedish and English.
Scholarly teaching in science and technology
The foundation of the course is informed by discipline-based research, models and practical experiences of teaching and learning in technology, science, computer science and mathematics. The course begins with an introduction to discipline-based research, which will work as the theoretical starting point for practical exercises and discussions. Theoretical parts, practical exercises and discussions are interspersed in the course, all grounded on the personal teaching experience of the participants. The content will to some extent be adapted to the participants' backgrounds and interests. The course consists of six course meetings, and additionally work in between the meetings, e.g. readings and reflections. The course ends with an individual project, linked to participant’s own teaching and subject area.
- Course time: two weeks. The course will be in English during 2023.

The course is based on ethical theory and research literature in ethics, and related areas.
