Can mandatory teacher courses result in positive effects on how teachers teach? An example from our own faculty and a faculty wide course on student-centered teaching
This seminar focuses on student-centered teaching and if a short, mandatory course on this topic could possibly influence how teachers at our faculty teach. The effects of the mandatory course are explored in our study: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14703297.2024.2383374
From the abstract: “Evaluations showed that teachers especially appreciated collegial discussions and examples of teaching practices in the course. In a survey, 64% indicated the course had led them to implement active teaching. Comparing large-scale pre-course and post-course student surveys with up to 2389 individual responses revealed a significant increase in the number of courses with active learning. The course as a change strategy contains aspects of both middle-out and top-down approaches and organising the course at departments, enables movement from individual to structural level.”
