Teaching and learning through interdisciplinary project work ‒ ERUA Staff Visit in Roskilde
Together with Sibylle Mühleisen (Transfer in Teaching), Dr Maria Lidola (Ethnology) and Dr Sarah Seidel (Literature), Sylvia Gschwend from the University Didactics team visited Roskilde University. There, Niels Møller Nielsen and Stephan Carney (both from the Centre for Research on Problem-oriented Project Learning), among others, presented the university didactic model of PPL - Problem-oriented Project Learning - practised at the RUC and discussed opportunities and challenges in concrete practice with the guests from Konstanz.
Roskilde University was originally founded to question academic traditions and experiment with new ways of creating and acquiring knowledge. With interdisciplinary group work on concrete and socially relevant problems, the RUC realises its mission statement of student-centred and competence-oriented learning.
On campus, the team from the University of Konstanz was able to take part in a seminar with students and gain an impression of the RUC building structure, which also implements the comprehensive teaching concept of the PPL architecturally.
