Pedagogical ambassadors in doctoral education 2024
The purpose with Pedagogical ambassadors is to stimulate pedagogical development in doctoral courses by financed time for pedagogical ambassadors, as well as the start-up of a pedagogical network in doctoral education.
Pedagogic ambassadors are expected to:
- be able to lead pedagogical discussions, for example in seminar form.
- be able to initiate and pursue pedagogical issues that are relevant to doctoral education.
- lead one pedagogical development project during the project period.
- support colleagues/"Critical friend" and spread good examples.
- work for doctoral education at the entire KI level, not only for the research school / doctoral program with which they are affiliated.
A contact person assigned within the Teaching and learning unit at KI facilitate the collaboration within the group as well as with the pedagogical unit. Monthly meetings and round table discussions are the regular contact points, complemented with individual meetings between the ambassadors.
