| 851-0240-01L | Designing Learning Environments for School (EW2 TD)   Prerequisites: successful participation in 851-0240-00L "Human Learning (EW1)". Adresses to students enrolled either in Teaching Diploma* (TD) or Teaching Certificate (TC) in Computer Science, Mathematics or Physics. *Except for students of Sport Teaching Diploma, who complete the sport-specific course unit EW2. | 3 credits | 2V | E. Stern | |
| Abstract | Teaching is a complex skill. The lecture comprises (a) presentations about the theoretical background of this skill, (b) discussions of practical aspects, and (c) practical exercises. | ||||
| Learning objective | The participants have the conceptual und procedural knowledge, and skills necessary for long-term planning, preparing, and implementing good lessons. They can apply this knowledge on different topics of their scientific STEM-background. | ||||
| Content | We discuss characteristics of successful lessons and how to design such lessons by using curricula and lesson plans, teaching goals and a variety of teaching methods. | ||||
| Lecture notes | The lecture comprises interactive parts where the participants elaborate and extend their knowledge and skills. Thus, there is no comprehensive written documentation of the lecture. The participants can download presentation slides, learning materials, and templates from "Moodle". | ||||
| Literature | The necessary literature can be downloaded from "Moodle". | ||||
| Prerequisites / Notice | The lecture EW2 can only be attended by students who already successfully completed the lecture Human Learning (EW1). There will be two independent lectures for different groups of students. You will get further information in an email at the beginning of the semester. To get the Credits you have to - regularly attend to the lecture - have the grade 4 or higher in the final written exam. | ||||
| 851-0240-19L | Effective Learning Environments (EW 5) The successful completion of ALL modules relevant for the teacher's diploma is required for participation in this course. | 1 credit | E. Stern | ||
| Abstract | The students have to read the book "Lernwirksam unterrichten" from Felten/Stern and they have to answer questions. In individual or small-group sessions will be discussed how insights from learning research can inform classroom practice. | ||||
| Learning objective | The focus of all classes on educational psychology is on scientific insights which help to reflect on instructional learning. In order to become professionals, teachers have to better understand students' behavior and achievement and thereby become aware of their scope of classroom practice. Students get a final opportunity to ask questions about psychological learning research. | ||||
| Literature | Book "Lernwirksam unterrichten" (Felten/Stern) | ||||
| Prerequisites / Notice | Detailed information: https://ifvll.ethz.ch/studium/ew-5.html | ||||
