Collegial Teaching and Learning in STEM Education is an elective teaching and learning course in higher education offered by MN-UiB through The STEM Education Research Center (SERC ) to all MN-UiB staff . The course is given in English and requires no previous pedagogical training. Both experienced and novice teachers and staff are welcome. On completion of the course, you will receive a diploma that states the content and extent of the course (5 ECTS), which corresponds to three weeks, full-time work. This course can count as part of the basic pedagogical competence requirement at UiB. The course introduces you to core concepts of teaching and learning in higher education to develop your ability to improve student learning. In the course you will read, discuss, explore, and reflect on pedagogical topics specifically related to teaching and learning in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) within your educational practice. Activities in the course will provide participants with a common language for teaching and learning, support collegial reflections and a scholarly approach to teaching and learning. The main component of the course is a group project, addressing a teaching and learning issue of relevance to your educational practice. The final project product is an artefact and public presentation of the project. The format of the artefact and presentation depends on the type of project, the intended audience, and the participants` interest. Examples of a final artefact are a project report, a paper intended for publication in a teaching and learning journal, a teaching resource, or a submission to a teaching and learning conference - followed by a public presentation at a seminar, conference, or relevant meeting.
