Content

Teaching Skills is a systematic 7 ECTS program designed for teaching and research assistants and senior assistants at UZH seeking a basic grounding and ongoing training leading to a qualification in teaching in Higher Education. The program is offered by Continuing Education in conjunction with the departments. The departments can stipulate special requirements for participating faculty members. Doctoral candidates may be credited Teaching Skills. The decision on accreditation lies with the degree program in question. The CAS in Higher Education fully approves Teaching Skills.
The program introduces the fundamentals of research in teaching and learning as the basis for planning and conducting courses. Focusing on the alignment of teaching/learning activities and assessment, participants also experience how to motivate and activate students through student-centered teaching. Sustainable transfer of course content into participants own teaching is fostered and supported through peer observation and portfolio-based reflection.
