Teaching Synergies Program
Teaching Synergies Program (TSP)
Through the Teaching Synergies Program, (early-career) researchers from the DRESDEN-concept research alliance are systematically integrated into research-oriented teaching at TU Dresden. This is achieved through joint activities with lecturers at TUD (in the form of teaching tandems) and is supported by a qualification program. Thus, the TUD participants design their research-oriented courses alongside colleagues from DDc.
The aims of the program are:
- to create synergies between TU Dresden and DRESDEN-concept partner institutions in teaching
- and to make the course offer more attractive for students by integrating extramural research
The program is aimed at:
- (Early-career) Researchers of DRESDEN-concept who aspire to a career at a university and would like to gain experience in university teaching and as well as qualifications in university didactics.
- Lecturers at TU Dresden who are interested in collaborating with researchers of DRESDEN-concept or who would like to further develop already existing collaborations in the context of joint teaching activities.
In addition to the accompanying qualification program, you have the opportunity to take advantage of support and coaching on didactic issues related to (research-oriented) teaching. In our research lab, you can also receive consultation on digital tools and produce your own educational videos for students. Furthermore, you have the chance to obtain a certificate for research-oriented teaching (90 working units) as part of the qualification program.
Of course, you can also receive personalized support during the semester for issues relating to (research-oriented) teaching.
Examples include:
- Individual didactic advice and support for research-oriented teaching
- Individual didactic advice and support for teaching tandems
- Conducting a Teaching Analysis Poll (TAP) for an interim evaluation of the course
