Goal (Quelle NZ-Online) Prof. Dr. Stefan Vörtler 20 Main Topics Teaching & Learning Teachers training, School development KOM Continuing Education Life Long Learning Evaluation & Research 1. Framework 2. Chances & Challenges 3. Visions The University Environment Economic stronghold in small and medium size businesses („Mittelstand“) High density of „Hidden Champions“, but big players as well (Dr. Oetker, Bertelsmann, Miele, ) Strong regional orientation of students and the work force in general; regional education outreach but national and international reputation depending on the field Education is generally highly respected, requested and regarded; high figures in “first generation students” (average ~65% ); Recent Trends in German Higher Education . More students: 51 % of an age group is studying, more than entering the vocational education system. “Universities of applies sciences (FH)” becoming more popular: since 2005 beginners increased by 60%; student share between FH and U is approaching 40:60 rather than 30:70 as in the 1990s . Number of students more then doubled since 2000 in Lemgo (from ~1500 to ~3800), corresponding to the all- time-high in student numbers in Germany . Growing heterogeneity: between 2010 and 2016 66% of freshman are „First Generation Students“ Studierende der ersten Generation Studierende der ersten Generation One Size DOES NOT Fit All Lehrzentrierter Blick Studierendenzentrierter Blick CiiContinuing Learning Research Education Pre- and Bridging Study methods PM course Scientific Studies Courses Guided Mentoring School Education Evaluation Studygroups Profession guided eMentoring Project Weeks „Studienpioniere“ www.hs-owl.de/kom Titel Study Methods ►Effective Learning, Better Learning Learning Strategies, Work & Time Management ►Writing Laboratory Better Wrinting, Efficient Communication ►Reading Efficency Readings Strategies, Text-knowledge ►Graduation and Job Entry Thesis Organization, C.V. Preparation, Continous development of further topics! Titel - Parenthesis 1 - ►You are in an rowing boat on a small lake - with a six-pack of beer at your side (wine or lemonade is fine as well) ►In an unfortunate moment the six-pack goes overboard and sinks immideatly… … what happens to the water level of the lake? ►(1) Nothing – it will stay unchanged (2) The water level falls …but WHY is it like this? (3) The water level rises …it is a consequence of the MASS or the VOLUME of the bottles (bouyant force in the ship vs. gravity) 1. Framework 2. Chances & Challenges 3. Visions Demands from partners and the society High demands on expertise and experience in the respective field but as well in soft skills Graduates (university alumnis) have no longer or at least a reduce time of ajustment to a new job or new project; as a expectations to perform immediately is high Often not a replacement of all ready existing duties/ tasks – rather project like new job descriptions/ layouts Vanishing traditional life-long employment and working relations to just one employer Remains open: employee engagement; finding the right employee and keeping it within the company; leadership, (…) Hallmarks of changing student generations Dissolving barriers between work and leisure time; Convergence of communication and media use (…) Focus on „making sense and making an impact“ in; maintaing high degrees of freedom Cooperative Communcation – „sharing economy“ Digital is dominating; knowledge is available where- ever and when-ever; excuses and allows one owns part knowledge Remaining unsolved: Leadership, decision-making, hirarchial communication etc. What are the consequences to the general study- programs and ways of working? Changes* ■ Student Orientation: Docent as Coach, making individual „offers“ and advices ■ Outcome-Orientation, thinking about DropOut quota, accompaning the transition, stronger focus of the gouverment on these issues ■ Questioning the Effect of Teaching aside of Evaluation ■ Questioning the value for society, „Third Mission“ aside of Teaching and Research: Transfer as well ■ Competion between higher education insitutions – and systems in differnt countries - as well as private universities ■ Tendency to more specialized degrees (*… to be seen as discussion points) Example: Thinking with-in the Taxonomy [Bloom (1972), Taxonomie von Lernzielen im kognitiven Bereich] Prof. Dr. Stefan Vörtler 34 Example: Constructive Alignment (after Biggs) Learning Outcome What are students able to do AFTER visiting the course? Testing Teaching and Learning How are the test structured and Which teaching and learning designed in order to JUDGE if methods will help to REACH the the learning outcomes are reached? proposed learning outcomes?
