The details provided are extensive and cover various aspects of the program, including its content, learning objectives, teaching methods, assessment, and organizational structure.
Program Details
Module Content, Progression, and Pedagogy
The module aims to provide students with knowledge of a wide range of demonstration experiments at the high school level, enabling them to select, develop, justify, and reflect on the choice of teaching experiments for a given high school teaching sequence in biology, biotechnology, and chemistry. Additionally, the module seeks to strengthen the students' laboratory and communication skills.
In connection with topics from the curricula in Biology, Biotechnology, and Chemistry in high school, students select a series of experiments that are prepared, conducted, and reported. Selected teaching experiments are carried out for the instructor and fellow students. Through discussion and reflection on the individual demonstration experiments, a progression of the students' subject didactic level is ensured.
Learning Objectives
Knowledge
Students who complete the module should be able to:
- Provide an overview of suitable demonstration experiments at the high school level.
- Justify the choice of (demonstration) experiments based on the subject's curriculum.
- Prepare and conduct teaching experiments.
- Account for safety rules for experimental chemical and biological work in high school.
Skills
- Prepare and conduct demonstration experiments and instruct and guide high school students in their experimental work in chemistry, biology, and biotechnology.
- Account for practical and subject didactic considerations regarding the choice and execution of teaching experiments.
Competences
- Reflect on the choice of didactic method.
- Develop experiments to support and develop one's own teaching.
Teaching Methods
The module includes:
- Lectures
- Workshops
- Feedback
Scope and Expected Work Effort
The module encompasses 150 working hours.
Examination
Exams
