Tutorial programme

Tutors have been involved in teaching at universities for decades. Tutorials not only provide students with subject-specific qualifications, but also offer a valuable opportunity to interact with other students (often from higher semesters) at eye level. For first-year students in particular, tutorials are an ideal place to familiarise themselves with the subject and working methods at the university and, if necessary, to make new contacts. However, tutorials also support more experienced students in coping with their study requirements and often enable a more intensive exchange than teaching formats with higher numbers of participants. Tutorials are also a valuable element of teaching at Paderborn University. The didactic qualification of tutors is a particular concern of the university, as this leads to an improvement in the quality of student teaching and thus teaching as a whole. At the same time, the trained tutors acquire valuable key competences for their own studies and professional life in addition to a deeper understanding of the subject.

?[T]rotz des begrenzten Handlungsrahmens [konnte ich] in meiner Art von Tutorium die eine oder andere strukturelle Methodik übernehmen.”

?Eine wie ich finde sehr nützliche Veranstaltung [und] das Gespr?ch mit den anderen erzeugte L?sungsvorschl?ge, die mir selbst bis dahin nicht eingefallen waren.”

?Die ?bung zur Tutorienplanung war [...] durchgehend hilfreich. Zum einen konnten wir hier lernen, wie solch eine Planung wirklich aussehen soll und zum anderen konnte ich mir auch noch mal der Phasen sowie der Strukturierung eines Tutoriums bewusst machen.”

?Vor allem die begleitende Reflexion der Projekte sowie der Austausch mit Studierenden anderer Fachrichtungen haben dazu beigetragen, dass ich mich fachlich und pers?nlich gleicherma?en weiterentwickelt habe.”

?[Ich] habe die Zusammenarbeit mit den Studierenden anderer F?cher als sehr positiv erlebt. So konnte ich von den unterschiedlich gelegenen Kompetenzen profitieren und gleichzeitig hilfreich für andere sein.”

The current round of tutor qualification starts on 12th April 2024.

Every semester, we offer a free tutor qualification programme that is open to tutors from all faculties. The programme has a scope of 30 AE and is offered in a blended learning format (video conferences/presence meetings and asynchronous elements in a PANDA course).

The tutor training course prepares you for your (future) role in tutorial teaching and also addresses any initial uncertainties. Didactic know-how is imparted for the planning and implementation of your tutorials. The core topics of the tutor training course are

  • Roles and attitude
  • Planning a tutorial
  • Activating methods in the tutorial
  • Dealing with groups
  • Development of options for action in potential conflict situations
  • Feedback and evaluation
  • Presenting and visualising

We also offer ideas, help and advice on all aspects of online teaching.

The workshops consist of a combination of theoretical teaching, practical exercises and simulations, elements for reflection and the exchange of experiences. The programme is designed to be participant- and process-oriented so that the needs and questions of the workshop participants can be addressed in the individual formats. The trained tutors also give didactic and methodological impulses back to their own department.

In addition, the workshops teach key skills that are also recognised in the world of work. With the university-wide "T-Cert" certificate, the students receive a certificate that they can attach to their application documents.
Participation in the programme can also be recognised as an achievement in the teacher training programme (B.A. & M.A. in the specialisation area), as a professional internship (BFP) and as part of the Studium Generale (Please get in touch with your subject-specific contact for more information). In addition, the tutor programme is part of the upb+  certificate. Information on the upb+ pass can be found here.
