Tutorial programme
Tutors have been involved in university teaching for decades. Tutorials not only provide students with subject-specific qualifications, but also offer a valuable opportunity to interact with other students (often from higher semesters) at eye level. For first-year students in particular, tutorials are an ideal place to familiarise themselves with the subject and the working methods at the university and, if necessary, to make new contacts. However, tutorials also support more experienced students to cope with the damands of their studies and often allow a more intensive exchange than teaching formats with larger numbers of participants. Tutorials are also a valuable element of teaching at the Paderborn University. The didactic qualification of tutors is a particular concern of the university, as this leads to an improvement in the quality of the tutorials and thus of the teaching as a whole. At the same time, the trained tutors acquire not only a deeper understanding of the subject, but alsovaluable key competences for their own studies and professional life.
The current round of tutor qualification starts on 11th October 2024.
Every semester, we offer a free tutor qualification programme that is open to tutors from all faculties. The programme has a duration of 30 AE and is offered in a blended learning format (videoconferences/presence meetings and asynchronous elements in a PANDA course).
The tutor training course prepares you for your (future) role in tutorial teaching and also addresses any initial uncertainties. It provides didactic know-how for planning and running your tutorials. The core topics of the tutor training course are
- Roles and attitudes
- Planning a tutorial
- Activating methods in the tutorial
- Dealing with groups
- Developing of options for dealing with potential conflict situations
- Feedback and evaluation
- Presentation and visualisation
We also offer ideas, help and advice on all aspects of online teaching.
The workshops consist of a combination of theoretical teaching, practical exercises and simulations, elements for reflection and sharing of experiences. The programme is designed to be participant- and process-oriented so that the needs and questions of the workshop participants can be addressed in the individual formats. The trained tutors also provide didactic and methodological input back to their own departments.
In addition, the workshops teach key skills that are also recognised in the world of work. Students receive a university-wide "T-Cert" certificate, which they can attach to their application documents.
Participation in the programme can also be recognised as part of the teacher training programme (B.A. & M.A. in the specialisation), as a professional internship (BFP) and as part of the Studium Generale (Please contact your department for more information). The tutor programme is also part of the upb+ certificate. Information about the upb+ pass can be found here.
