"Too much reproduction - too little explanation and transfer" is how Niclas Scharper describes examination practice at German universities. Since Bologna, the aim has been to promote and test competences rather than just repeating facts. But what exactly is meant by "competences"? How can they be operationalised and assessed? This workshop explores precisely these questions and supports participants in preparing and conducting competency-based examinations and achieving a well-founded grade at the end.
Various forms of written and oral examinations will be discussed, with the learning outcomes forming the starting point for considering the design of the examination. The course also prepares students to accompany written work in its development process and gives them the opportunity to develop their own examinations.
The seminar is a workshop: participants will have time to develop and design their own examinations throughout the course. It is a good idea to bring your own documents - or even your laptop.
Methods: inputs, discussions, exchange of experiences, exercises
Certificate in Higher Education Didactics Modul 2.2/3.3 with 20 work units (AE).
