A big part of an academic career consists of teaching. When we first stand in front of students it can be scary and you might feel alone. You are not alone, many others also have this experience.
In this seminar we will present how we tackled this issue at IPED by using peer-group mentoring in a pilot project developed with IDEA Innovation and Digitalization in Education.
Quotes from project participants:
-
“Peer-group mentoring is good, especially with more experienced teachers/mentors as well.”
-
“It was nice to know my colleagues better and know that we all have similar issues or reflections.”
Take aways
-
Learn about how you as PhD-candidates can take initiative to change and improve established practices.
-
Discuss and be inspired by how peer-group mentoring can be used as a measure to improve teaching. Join the discussion on how this can be improved further, and be applied to the whole faculty!
