Lunch lecture: Lecturing as a Student-Active Method
Monday November 10, 12.15-13.00 (in Swedish), Zoom: https://uu-se.zoom.us/j/68884483964

Håkan Fleischer, PhD in Education and Educational Developer, Pedagogical Development & Interactive Learning, Faculty of Education, Göteborgs University.

This lunchtime lecture presents the main ideas from the book Lecturing as a Student-Active Method (Studentlitteratur, 2025). The lecture is discussed as a teaching format that can be both engaging and student-centered—when carried out consciously and pedagogically. Through practical examples, the author demonstrates how lectures can stimulate activity and learning on micro, meso, and macro levels. Key themes such as structure, personal engagement, motivation, and the learning environment are highlighted, along with concrete tools for making lectures more interactive and meaningful for students in higher education.
