Support for teaching and learning

The support for teaching and learning helps to secure the quality of education by promoting teachers’ scientific approach to teaching, learning and career opportunities. It also contributes to innovative teaching and examination forms.

This is achieved, among other things, through higher education pedagogical training for employees, seminars in research supervision, pedagogical consultancy, support for pedagogical qualifications and ICT support for teachers. In this way, conditions are created the for the University’s staff to participate in and help develop activities themselves that correspond to the University’s educational goals.

Teacher competence development

Various educational efforts and creative didactic concepts are offered which can contribute to educational innovation and new working methods. The University works actively to support the development of teachers’ teaching and assessment skills, as well as their pedagogical competency development.

Student-centred teaching

Teachers are offered varied pedagogical methods that emphasise the importance of student involvement in their learning and that shift the teaching focus from the teacher to the student.

Strategic and systematic quality work

As part of the overall quality work at the University, we work with continuous follow-up, evaluation and development of pedagogical development efforts, as a basis for any future measures and as an integrated part in operational planning and operational management.

Educational qualifications

Halmstad University strives for research and education to be conducted so that both scientific and pedagogical skills are recognised. We strive for a high degree of formally qualified teachers. The University has introduced the title Excellent teaching practitioner as part of offering the opportunity for merit based on documented pedagogical skill.

Digitisation in teaching

Using ICT in teaching is a flexible way to teach, communicate and promote student learning regardless of whether it takes place on campus or remotely. The University ICT educators can inspire teachers to make full use of the resources available.
