§ 1.3 - Didactic and pedagogical basis
The didactic and pedagogical foundation of the programme is based on SDU’s leading principles about activating teaching and active learning. This is implemented in practical science by the application of the three-phase-model for teaching, the three phases being introduction, training and studying.
- In the introductory phase the joint reference frame for theory, models and terms is established through the teacher’s use of varied teaching methods.
- The training phase is utilised by the students to obtain their own experiences and to immerse themselves in the material through active work and dialogue with the teacher.
- The study phase is a learning environment unaffiliated with the teacher and where the student independently acquires academic, personal and social skills in relation to an understanding of and immersion in the subject of science.
Content, standard and learning activities for the individual subjects within the first year of the Bachelor programme are planned in accordance with the requirements of the programme. The teachers responsible for courses which directly build on knowledge from the qualifying youth education will always be informed of the admission requirements and have access to information about the academic content of the central qualifying subjects from the youth education.
The form of examination for the specific courses is selected in consideration of several factors. There must be a clear coherence between the purpose, content, learning activities and examination of the specific course, so that the exam result of the specific course reflects how well the student fulfils the learning objectives of the course. Throughout the entire programme, a variation of forms of examinations is strived for across the different courses, so that the students are tested in the overall different types of knowledge, skills and competences which are represented in the Degree Qualifications Profile of the programme. This is to make sure that the student’s overall exam results reflect how well the student fulfils the learning objectives of the programme in its entirety.
