From 3 to 8 March, the "Visit a colleague" week will again take place at the university. During the week, lecturers will have the opportunity to see how colleagues from their own field and from other disciplines teach. The schedule of the week is now complete and includes classes held in both Estonian and English.
This time, the focus of the week is on collaborative learning. This means that students are given tasks they can solve together in pair or group work, brainstorming, role play or other collaborative activities.
The desire to teach well unites all disciplines and teaching staff. The aim of the “Visit a colleague” week is to see and discuss different ways and methods of teaching. Teaching staff members have said that visiting colleagues’ classes gives them ideas and encouragement to develop their own teaching methods, validates solutions that already work and helps them think about teaching from a new perspective.
The “Visit a colleague” week is organised by the UT Centre for Learning and Teaching in cooperation with Vice Rector for Academic Affairs Aune Valk.
