Undervisningens dag / University Teaching Day 2014
Undervisningens dag / University Teaching Day
Campus Aalborg
Theme of the day: Effective planning for student centered
teaching and learning
Date and time: 9 april 2014 from 8.00-15.00
Venue: Kroghstræde 3, room 1.104 (auditorium)
Sign up here.
Teaching and supervision can be challenging tasks for University teachers where they have to make
sure that things are in place so students can get the most to acquire academic knowledge, skills and
competences. There is not one right way of doing it - things that need to be taken into consideration
when activities are planned includes, the subject areas, learning goals, students’ backgrounds etc. The
PBL teaching framework at AAU sets particular learning conditions, including teaching that supports
students’ project work, while specific teaching environments like classrooms/lecture rooms or
laboratories shape particular teaching and learning environments. It is the University teacher’s
challenge to consider various conditions to orchestrate productive learning environments.
On this year’s AAU teaching day the aim is to focus on planning for various teaching interventions
and settings. We seek inspiration from each other, as there are many colleagues, who on daily basis
develop and work with their ways of practicing good teaching and supervision. We also look
forward to some inspiration from Dr. L. Dee Fink, a professional and international consultant in
Higher Education from US, who will present a keynote and run a workshop. The program will be
followed by a poster presentation by assistant professors and postdocs who have recently finished
the Adjunktpædagogikum. At the end of the day there will be a celebration of the recent graduates
of the Adjunktpædagogikum. Materials from the day’s presentations will be available thereafter on
learninglab.aau.dk.
Some of the presentations will be in Danish some in English.
Looking very much forward to seeing you

About the workshops and presenters
Workshop 1: Want Your Students to Learn More? Designing Your Courses for More Significant Learning
Most college teachers would like their courses to be an experience in which their students achieve some kind
of significant learning that lasts. But we feel frustrated and uncertain about how to get that to happen – for
more students, more of the time.
This workshop will (a) expand participants’ vision of the kinds of learning that are possible and (b) familiarize
participants with a process for designing courses for Significant Learning, i.e., learning that truly makes a
difference in the way students think, act and feel after college. In this workshop, we will:

Examine the place of instructional design in the “big picture” of teaching,

Take a close look at what each of us really wants our students to learn,

Work through the model of Integrated Course Design that enables us to systematically design
significant learning into our courses, and

Conclude by looking at some case studies that address the question of whether this more
intentional way of designing courses really makes a difference in the way students respond.

Workshop 2: Brug af teknologi: Planlægning og brug af podcasts og andre teknologier
Om nye strategier til kursusundervisning, der "vender undervisningen på hovedet" og inddrager elementer af
video.
Inden for de seneste 10 år er ideen om "the flipped classroom" begyndt at blive populær i USA og dukker nu
også op på danske uddannelser som en ny tilgang til kursusundervisning, hvor anvendelse af video erstatter
traditionelle forelæsninger og der bliver skabt et andet fokus i mødet mellem underviser og lærende. I denne
workshop vil vi med udgangspunkt i et konkret eksempel fra Aalborg Universitet introducere denne tilgang,
dens mulige fordele og mulige faldgruber. Vi vil både give konkrete praktiske råd og et indblik i de overvejelser
af teoretisk art, der ligger bag "the flipped classroom".
Workshopansvarlige:
Hans Hüttel er lektor ved Institut for Datalogi.
Dorina Gnaur er adjunkt ved Institut for Læring og Filosofi.
Workshop 3: Hvad kendetegner gruppesamarbejdsproblemer? Hvad kan projektværktøjer tilføre
samarbejdsprocessen?
På AAU er der gjort forsøg på at understøtte studerendes samarbejde gennem projektværktøjer, som f.eks.
KUBUS, men vi savner yderligere viden om hvad det er for samarbejdsudforinger de studerende aktuelt står
overfor, og hvordan de selv beskriver disse udfordringer.
Specialestuderende på Læring og Forandringsprocesser (Maiken Lykke Pedersen og Heidi Trude Holm) fulgte
i 2013 7. semester og er nu 8. semester studerende for at belyse aktiviteter og overvejelser ift. PBL-arbejdet.
Det er blandt andet undersøgt om ledelses- og procesværktøjer kan støtte de studerende i etableringen og
organiseringen af PBL arbejdet og hvordan de vurderer dette værktøj.
På workshoppen diskuteres i forlængelse af oplæg bl.a. hvilken rolle vi som vejledere indtager, når der
registreres samarbejdsproblemer i en gruppe.
Workshopansvarlige:
Birthe Lund, Lektor ved Institut for Læring og Filosofi, med særlig interesse for samarbejdsdrevene
innovationsprocesser og dermed gruppeprocessers betydning for innovationsskabelse.
Maiken Lykke Pedersen og Heidi Trude Holm er specialestuderende på kandidatuddannelsen: Læring og
Forandringsprocesser.

Workshop 4: Integrating sustainability in projects and courses – What? Why? and How?
Sustainability is one of the biggest challenges faced by world society and thus also by engineering educations at
this point in time. The task for teachers and educational planners is how to interpret this challenge and how to
translate it into teaching practice. Is there a need for new elements in study programs? Is there a need for
more - and possibly more interdisciplinary - project work with realistic engineering problems? Can
sustainability be measured using a universal metric or does the concept depend upon the professional field of
specialization, does it develop and change over time and depending upon the task at hand?
In the workshop we will start with a short discussion of the concept of ‘sustainability’ and then go on to
present results of the project “Sustainability at the Faculty of Engineering and Science, Aalborg University –
Practice and potential”, with focus on best practice examples in existing teaching practice. Following this,
participants will be divided into groups according to relevant criteria which will be discussed with the
participants. The groups will be working with suggestions for integrating relevant aspects of sustainability into
selected study modules, courses or projects. The workshop will conclude with a short presentation of group
work results and a discussion of future work with integration of sustainability in educational programs.
Participants are strongly encouraged to bring descriptions or plans of study modules they may wish to work on
in the workshop, in order to get feedback and suggestions on how to include aspects of sustainability.
Workshop organisers:
Associate professor Mona Lisa Dahms has an educational background in electronic engineering and works with
the UNESCO Chair in Problem Based Learning (UCPBL) where she is responsible for the Chair’s work in Africa
and coordinates the Master in Problem Based Learning (MPBL). She participates in the above mentioned
project about sustainability in the educational programs of the Faculty of Engineering and Science.
Associate professor Kathrin Otrel-Cass from the Department of Learning and Philosophy has worked on and
taught in environmental education and has together with a group of colleagues, including Mona Dahms
investigated sustainability integration into existing teaching programmes at AAU.
Workshop 5: Hvordan opretholder studierne undervisningens kvalitet, når der skæres i timerne til
undervisning
Workshop for skole- og studieledere og andre med interesse for studieledelse. Workshoppen falder i 2 dele: –
Om formiddagen diskuteres problemstillinger, knyttet til udfordringen, færre ressourcer og høj kvalitet i
uddannelse og undervisning. Om eftermiddagen vendes udfordringerne med Dr. L. Dee Fink.
Workshopansvarlig:
Hanne Dauer Keller, som er lektor og skoleleder ved Skolen for Erkendelses- og Forandringsprocesser, Det
Humanistiske Fakultet.

Workshop 6: Hvordan kan man evaluere de studerende gennem et undervisningsforløb og til sidst til
eksamen?
"Forskningen fortæller os, at løbende evaluering af de studerene gennem et kursusforløb er med til at give de
studerende bedre læring. I denne workshop vil vi derfor både se på forskellige metoder til at evaluere de
studerende undervejs i et kursusforløb (kaldet formativ evaluering) og til slut til eksamen (kaldet summativ
evaluering)."
Workshopansvarlige:
Bettina Dahl Søndergaard er lektor ved UNESCO Chair i Problem Based Learning in Engineering Education på
Institut for Planlægning. Hun har forsket og publiceret bl.a. inden for i internationale karakterskalaer,
taxonomier og diagnostiske test i matematikundervisningen.
Palle Rasmussen er professor i lærings- og uddannelsesforskning ved Institut for Læring og Filosofi. Han har
blandt andet undervist og forsket i evaluering af undervisning og uddannelse, i PBL samt i rammebetingelserne
for universitetsundervisning.
Workshop 7: Etablering af gode gruppedannelser. Processer som forudsætning for gode
samarbejdsprocesser i projektarbejdet
Workshoppen sætter fokus på udfordringer ved gruppedannelsesprocessen, hvordan gode processer kan
understøttes samt såvel undervisernes og de studerendes roller og interesser i forbindelse med
gruppedannelsen og det efterfølgende gruppesamarbejde.
Der vil indgå oplæg, samt diskussion af deltagernes egne erfaringer med gruppedannelsesprocesser og
udfordringer i relation hertil.
Workshopansvarlige:
Charlotte Overgaard, adjunkt ved Institut for Medicin og Sundhedsteknologi og semesterkoordinator på
kandidatuddannelsen i Folkesundhedsvidenskab.

bacheloruddannelsen i Maskin og Produktion samt kandidatuddannelsen i Design af Mekaniske systemer.
Undervisningens dag / University Teaching Day 2014
Workshop 8: Hvordan kan man forbedre sine (mega) forelæsninger?
På workshoppen vil Poul med udgangspunkt i nylig studenterevaluering pege på, hvad de studerende betragter
som god undervisning for større hold (2-300 studerende). I dialog med de fremmødte vil Poul søge at
identificere, hvornår og hvorfor læring opstår i en så umulig sammenhæng som forelæsninger for umulige
holdstørrelser.
