Details
The purpose of this seminar is to offer IE faculty the opportunity of learning about best practices in participant centered teaching methods. A practical oriented seminar, it´s aim is to develop additional skills for leading discussions in your courses. The discussion method is generally well received by the students, who consider it a more engaging experience than the traditional lecture. It requires more proactive work of the students, who develop criteria rather than memory. It is in line with the trends for education in Europe and it focuses on the learning of the students rather than teaching of professors. We will be using class discussions in the seminar about class discussions. We will particularly discuss cases about some real experiences of professors in class.
