Excellent teaching practitioners

A hallmark of excellent teaching practitioners at NTNU is their clear and consistent focus on student learning in their teaching activities. They emphasize planning, implementing, assessing and adapting their teaching practice in a way that best supports the student’s learning outcome. Excellent teaching practitioners have an inquiry-based approach to the development of their own teaching and programmes of study at NTNU.

Pedagogical merit awards highlight the value of efforts to develop good teaching in higher education. Insight into the factors that improve students’ learning outcomes is important for work on the quality of education at NTNU. Teaching staff who work together and share valuable experience from their teaching are important in developing our programmes of study.
