Procedure of the tutor training
About the tutor training
On the first day, the tutors deal with their role as a tutor, the didactic basics and methods. In the first self-study phase, the tutors use their knowledge from the first training day to prepare the simulation of an exercise sequence.
The second training day usually follows a few days after the first. On this day, the tutors carry out their simulations and receive individual feedback. After the second training day, the tutors start their exercises. In the following self-study phase, they reflect on their exercises in a question-led manner and analyse tasks that they work on with their students with regard to their conduciveness to learning.
The third day of training begins with supervision. Afterwards, the tutors deal with their task analyses and possible misconceptions as well as didactic tools that can support them in overcoming them. In the last self-study phase, the tutors carry out a peer observation and write a reflection report.
At the fourth meeting, the tutors exchange ideas with their supervisors from the institutes and work on a topic of their choice.
