Practical Pedagogical Development Work (PED)

In May 2008 the deans of UNU during a meeting in Khartoum did declare their interest in having a capacity building programme for the faculties enabling them to implement the principles of vocational pedagogy based upon experiential learning at UNU.

As a response Akershus University College is offering such a capacity building programme in Practical Pedagogical Development Work (PED) to the faculties of UNU.

The overall aim of the study programme in PED is to enable each participant to build his or her capacity in student centered teaching to facilitate experiential learning for the students.

The studies in PED are to be integrated into each of the participants teaching practice. The PED will utilize ICT and Internet as active means of facilitation and documentation throughout the whole programme. Each student has to know the basics of how to use a digital camera and to have access to, and know how to use a PC and Internet during the two year programme.

The medium of instruction and documentation is the English language.
