Research and experiences

Together with teachers, the Centre for Academic Teaching and Learning evaluates all launched innovation projects and teaching innovations for their added value for teaching quality. This is done in several ways:

• Case studies using the CIMO logic
• Student and teacher experiences with teaching tools
• Research on their own teaching with Scholarship of Teaching and Learning

Het Centre for Academic Teaching and Learning biedt docenten voor verschillende onderwijsdoelen een breed scala aan IT-tools, waarvan de meerwaarde voor het onderwijs al is vastgesteld door andere UU-docenten. Hierbij wordt zoveel mogelijk evidence-informed gewerkt. Door naast onderzoeksresultaten ook ervaringen van collega-docenten met het innoveren en versterken van hun onderwijs te delen, kunnen UU-docenten zelf bepalen of en hoe zij hun onderwijs willen versterken. Deze bottum-up aanpak, waarin onderwijsverandering vraaggestuurd plaatsvindt en niet wordt opgelegd, zorgt ervoor dat docenten eigenaar van hun onderwijs blijven.

The Centre for Academic Teaching and Learning offers teachers a wide range of IT tools for various educational purposes, the added value of which for teaching has already been established by other UU teachers. This involves working as evidence-informed as possible. By sharing the experiences of fellow teachers in innovating and strengthening their teaching alongside research results, UU teachers can decide for themselves whether and how they want to strengthen their teaching. This bottom-up approach, in which educational change is demand-driven and not imposed, ensures that teachers retain ownership of their teaching.
