Abstract
Technical teachers need to possess skills in at least two distinct areas: engineering discipline and the art of teaching, balancing these two areas, knowing in-action how to do it in real-life situations and for real professional purposes. Understanding student individualities and their different learning styles is one of the midpoints of teacher training. The newly designed curriculum for technical teachers makes scientifically-founded and practice-oriented teacher training possible. The aim of the study programme described is to abolish mismatches between common learning styles and traditional teaching styles. The implementation of the designed curriculum concentrates on interactive lectures and inductive teaching model. Contemporary teaching models and strategies motivate students to learn more effectively, providing future technical teachers with teaching techniques which address all learning styles.
Highlights
Engineering education is a large system and it is almost impossible to predict its behaviour over far too distant future since the system parameters show a high rate of change
The present paper will discuss the design of efficient curriculum for technical teachers providing effective teaching and learning
A curriculum of modern technical teachers should make scientifically-founded and practice-oriented teacher training possible, so that teachers can expect to build a deeper understanding of the principles, problems and solutions associated with teaching learners in technical institutions
Summary
Engineering education is a large system and it is almost impossible to predict its behaviour over far too distant future since the system parameters show a high rate of change. The possibility of technical teachers is to help students to become better learners – not just in the sense of getting better qualifications, but in real-life terms, developing the set of ideas about what “learning to learn” involves, and how it can be taught. This doesn’t mean that we no longer care about the content of the curriculum - content is and will be the stem of the curriculum. The present paper will discuss the design of efficient curriculum for technical teachers providing effective teaching and learning
