The course deals with central learning theories related to teaching at university/university college level. The course is highly experience-based, and the knowledge is tested in practice through the participants own arrangement and accomplishment of teaching under guidance of other participants and the teachers.

Lectures are given to introduce and give an overview of central pedagogical principles, theories and ideas. There will be group work, seminars and conversations so that the participants can clarify their own relation to the theoretical material and exchange experiences and viewpoints with each other. There will be exercises to get practical experience and an assignment in teaching theory to develop the teaching in their own subject area.
