Teaching - Student Centered Coaching

This course offers a two-day workshop on student-centered coaching methods. In short seminars, you will learn about problem based learning (PBL) methods and other methods such as Design Thinking that are used to encourage knowledge acquisition and problem solving through group collaboration. You will learn when and why a coach is required and about the different roles a coach can assume. In teamwork, you will design and plan the PBL sessions for the next BSRT course “Introduction into research in regenerative therapies”. You will get hands-on experience in coaching during one PBL session of the following BSRT introduction course under the supervision of Fabian Feutlinske. One PBL session takes usually no more than half a day. During the PBL sessions, you will guide the teams of new doctoral researcher and help them in their transition from students who are used to passively acquire knowledge in lectures and from text books to becoming the next generation of researcher who take matters into their own hands and solve problems independently.
