ZFH workshop: "Basic and subject-specific higher education didactic qualification for tutors (option 2)"

The course offers you the opportunity to further develop your methodological, didactic and subject-specific didactic skills. Because: In order for the use of tutorials to lead to an improvement in studying and teaching, tutors must have basic (subject-specific) didactic skills in addition to subject-specific skills. The course offers you the opportunity to become clear about your own role, to plan a tutorial in a didactically meaningful way and to test and reflect on didactic methods. The course consists of 2 coordinated parts/days (participation in only one of the two days is not possible). The second day focuses on mathematics tutorials:

Topics of the event are:

• What is the role of the tutor?
• Use and function of tutorials in modularized study programs
• Communication in learning groups
• Understanding the learning process
• Planning tutorials for learning
• Teaching and learning methods for designing a tutorial
• Working in and with groups
• Dealing with difficult situations
• Methods of learning support and promotion of active learning in exercises and tutorials
• Methods of scientific presentation of work results in exercises and tutorials ("frontal phases")
• Methods and concepts of content-oriented design of small group work phases
• Principle of minimal help (diagnosis and support in teaching and learning processes)
• Concepts and criteria for homework correction that promotes learning

Intended learning objectives:

• Define your own role as a tutor
• Classify the function of the tutorial in the degree program
• Plan and design tutorials in a learning-oriented manner
• Select appropriate methods with regard to the learning group and subject matter
• Get to know concepts for subject-specific learning support
• Gathering and reflecting on experiences with different methods
• Developing a "method kit" in the form of "checklists" for use during the semester
