Centre for Academic Practice Structured PhD module in Teaching & Supporting Learning (5 ECTS)
Three online tutorials will support and supplement structured small group ‘peer learning’ sets. This enables students on the PhD register to develop a peer support network as they expand their understanding of teaching, learning, and assessment and their awareness of student services relevant to their roles as postgraduate teaching assistants, lab demonstrators, and seminar leaders. Module timetabling is flexible to accommodate the needs of GTAs working in busy Schools and Departments. Module learning outcomes The module seeks to enable participants to integrate research-derived insights into their own practice in the lecture hall, laboratory, and seminar room. Module learning outcomes are: 1. Discuss the role of the PGR in teaching and supporting learning in higher education. 2. Develop insight into evidence-based practice in teaching, learning, and assessment in higher education. 3. Demonstrate the appropriate use of tools and technologies to support and enhance teaching and/or learning in your own disciplinary context. 4. Articulate/illustrate how your (emerging) values around professionalism in academic practice have been influenced through engagement with the module. Registration is now open for the module.
