PREDAC _肆客足球

?Predac is the SU short course for the Professional Educational Development of Academics in their teaching role.

The Predac/Prontak short course is annually presented for newly appointed academics at SU free of charge.

During this course, participants will, together with other newly appointed lecturers from different faculties, be given the opportunity to reflect on their views, knowledge, and assumptions about teaching, learning, and assessment within the context of current thoughts on university teaching. Practical and innovative approaches towards teaching and assessment tasks will be addressed throughout the course. National and institutional frameworks which direct Higher Education in South Africa and at Stellenbosch Uni?versity (SU) will be covered as well.

Participants will be challenged to judge how knowledge and policy can be applied in a meaningful way in their own subject areas. They will develop a conceptual framework that will enable them to reflect on teaching, learning, and assessment in order to plan and expand their own teaching practices.

The course also provides a unique opportunity for participants to forge relationships with colleagues from their own faculty as well as other departments and faculties in a collegial atmosphere. In addition, they will be introduced to the institutional culture of SU, which will hopefully help them feel at home more quickly. ??????? ????
