Ylva Ekström pedagogical award winner
Senior lecturer Ylva Ekström at the Department of Informatics and Media is awarded the pedagogical prize in the field Law and Social Sciences for 2018.
Motivation:
Ylva Ekström supports teachers and works collegially. She is a bridge builder between individuals, subjects and departments. As a pedagogical director of studies, she has the ability to anchor and implement ideas. Ylva is thoughtful and clear in her educational practice, which facilitates active student participation. She expresses this in both new methods and research on educational issues.
The educational prize winners are nominated by students and colleagues. The final prize winners are appointed by the Vice-Chancellor on the basis of nominations from a preparatory group consisting of eight teachers and eight students. This year, 104 teachers were nominated, which was a record.
– Competent and committed teachers who work actively to develop teaching and courses are prerequisites for a high-quality education. It is a real pleasure to reward a selection of Uppsala University's most talented teachers every year, says Deputy Vice-Chancellor Anders Malmberg, chairman of the preparatory group.
The prizes will be awarded at the Ceremonial Installation of Professors in November.
