Organizational Culture. Teaching and learning methods (Forschungsfelder der Erwachsenenbildung/Weiterbildung)

This course provides an opportunity to study and apply the concepts, practices, and issues of organizations in terms of organizational and people development, teaching and learning methods, and techniques to develop individuals and teams in organizational contexts. During the course, the goal is to help students understand themselves more fully through a variety of self-reflective activities and assignments. Only by understanding themselves better, students can develop and deepen the skills needed to work most effectively with others. Since the course is designed specifically to develop students’ skills, we will take an active approach to learning. Active learning gives the students the opportunity to become much more engaged in activities such as reading, writing, and discussing, as compared to a more traditional classroom approach that often focuses more on the transfer of knowledge from instructor to student. It is crucial that the students complete the assigned readings and exercises before coming to class to understand the theoretical basis for the skill being developed, and to be able to participate fully in class online discussions and team activities. Please do not underestimate the rigor of this course and the need to come to our online class prepared. The workload is challenging, and the nature of the course will require your constant attention.
After all, the course will focus on linking personal and organizational development: Organizations develop if people develop and learn lifelong. This is why some teaching and learning methods will be discussed and practiced as well.
 

This lecture will take place on a weekly basis.
