Genåbningen rykker nærmere – hvor rykker pædagogikken hen?

Efter mere end et år med den globale pandemi som omdrejningspunkt for universiteternes undervisning kan vi begynde at skimte foråret forude. Vaccinationsplanerne skrider (om end noget forsinkede) fremad, og vi kan se ind i et efterår, hvor undervisningen på de danske universiteter forhåbentligt vender tilbage til et mere almindeligt leje.

Som universitetspædagog har det været enormt spændende at opleve, hvordan undervisere over en uhørt kort periode har omstillet deres undervisning til en digital virkelighed samt gentænkt og reformuleret deres didaktiske udgangspunkt, så det passer ind i et onlineformat.

Den næste udfordring kommer til at handle om tiden efter den bydende nødvendigheds ophør. Hvordan vil underviserne reagere, når det igen bliver muligt at invitere vores studerende inden for universitetets mure?

Alle de erfaringer, vi har gjort os over det sidste år, har lært os om de mange muligheder, der ligger i digitale undervisningsformater. Samtidig er det imidlertid også blevet ganske klart, at de digitale undervisningsformer (som alle andre didaktiske tilgange) har sine udfordringer og begrænsninger. I den sammenhæng bliver det mindst lige så spændende at se, hvordan pædagogikken vil udvikle sig fremadrettet. Hvordan tager vi de mange erfaringer fra året, der er gået, med os ind i fremtiden? Hvordan fastholder vi de kompetencer, vi med møje og besvær har tilegnet os, og hvordan integrerer vi denne viden og disse færdigheder i en mere ”almindelig” hverdag? Disse spørgsmål skal besvares over de kommende år.

Anbefaling af artikel fra DUT

Der findes mange spændende og brugbare artikler i DUTs arkiv, og
DUNs bestyrelse vil jævnligt finde en artikel, som fortjener ny opmærksomhed, frem fra arkivet.

Denne gang er det Christina Juul Jensen, der har udvalgt
en artikel fra DUT nr. 28 (årgang 15, 2020)
af Gitte Wichmann-Hansen, Tine Wirenfeldt Jensen og Mia Skytte O'Toole

Den varme stol

Jeg har gennem mange år arbejdet med at udvikle kollektiv specialevejledning i samarbejde med vejledere på universitetet. Og derfor ved jeg, at der er mange gevinster at hente ved denne undervisningsform – men at der også er nogle udfordringer. En af disse udfordringer er at udvikle en feedbackform, der optimerer læringen for den enkelte studerende samt giver mulighed for aktiv læring for kollektivitet. Wichmann-Hansen et al. giver i denne artikel deres bud på, hvordan peer-feedback kan organiseres i kollektiv specialevejledning med særligt fokus på understøttelse af de studerendes skrivekompetencer og selvstændighed.
