So far 98 teachers and 19 undergraduates from 7 departments have participated in the program. Personnel from the campus science library have also participated. An important element is to encourage the participants to learn from their own experience as learners and teachers. The focus of the training is to develop the participants' thinking of learning and teaching, not to coach teaching skills at the micro-level. The programme aims to activate and motivate the teachers and students to develop their own practices.
Participants choose learning goals individually and in small working groups.
Emphasis is on learning from the group assignments, interaction between the group members, between the groups and individual reflection. The aim is to build a higher education system in which the students are offered possibilities to actively inquire and construct their own knowledge. During the contact days the training facilitators provide new input and clarify questions arising. One central goal of these workshops is to create a co-operative learning environment. During the first workshop the investigation groups are formed based on the interest areas of the participants.
