Teaching and Learning

Our team works together with teachers of the University of Stuttgart to develop future-ready methods for teaching and learning. We offer courses on teaching and learning, educational development on lecture or study program level as well as coaching for teaching staff.

Teaching is an important and challenging part of a university teachers’ daily work. Our goal is to support professors with their curricula design and learning arrangements on an individual basis. The subject of a coaching can range from general teaching-related topics, educational goals, your role as a teacher, your position in your institute or faculty to questions about methods of teaching. We also invite you to an interdisciplinary exchange of ideas with your colleagues. An expert in teaching and learning always moderates the sessions.

Consultation is free of charge for all professors. Please contact Dr. Thorsten Braun. Every consultation is confidential. We are looking forward to talking with you about teaching at university level.

In peer counselling university teachers discuss specific situations and experiences of their teaching practice. You can either bring in your own cases or share your experience with other teachers in need of counselling. One session lasts up to 3 hours and you can participate online.

Education for Sustainable Development Goals (ESD) is heavily influencing our work in teaching and learning development, which views universities as a place of designing a future-oriented, global and responsible society. The main issue with orienting ourselves towards global learning objectives is how to translate them in everyday teaching and learning activities. To achieve this goal, we work together with teachers in various contexts on current issues of teaching. Practical challenges in the classroom situation play an important role. They are framed by questions about how to achieve higher-order competencies towards a positive, engaged and sustainable development of our future. We offer consultation on suitable teaching and learning arrangements, exam design, and conditions of a successful learning experience in the light of current and quickly changing conditions and challenges of a sustainable future.

Numerous students make an important contribution to teaching and learning processes as a peer tutor every semester and create excellent learning opportunities for their fellow students.

The Center for Higher Education and Lifelong Learning supports the qualification of peer tutors with a cooperation between the departments teaching and learning and interdisciplinary key-competencies. Offering tutoring qualifications as key-competency courses gives students an incentive to participate in our courses. Furthermore, we assist institutes and chairs in developing and offering their own peer tutor qualifications.
