Teaching Open Science: Core didactic principles

Sarah von Grebmer zu Wolfsthurn
Monday 14 September, 09:00-10:30

Are you interested in introducing your peers, students, or lab group to open research, or thinking about offering engaging workshops on the topic? Or are you simply interested in how to make your teaching on open research topics better? This interactive, evidence-based workshop provides an overview of the core didactic principles to help you effectively teach open research to researchers and students. You will learn about the foundations of successful learning, Bloom’s taxonomy, how to formulate learning goals and practice these skills in group-based activities. No prior teaching experience is required — just curiosity and a desire to apply these didactic skills in the context of open research.

Concept planning for Open Science workshops (and courses)

Sarah von Grebmer zu Wolfsthurn
Monday 14 September, 10:45-11:45

During this session, you will learn the fundamentals of planning and designing engaging workshops or courses on open science, how to enhance the motivation to learn and actively engage learners during, how to activate your learner’s prior knowledge about open science and how to structure an individual lesson on an open science topic to enhance the learning process.

Creating a supportive learning environment

Sarah von Grebmer zu Wolfsthurn
Monday 14 September, 13:15-14:15

The learning environment is a key element in any learning process. During this session, you will learn how to create a supportive learning environment through (body) language, different engagement methods, interaction rules, constructive and thought-through feedback and by fostering a growth mindset in your learners to engage with open research content.

Activating and motivating your audience

Sophie Renard
Monday 14 September, 14:30-15:45

During this session led by Sophie Renard from PROFiL, the focus is placed on exploring and implementing activation techniques to boost motivation, engagement and attention in classroom and workshop settings. You will learn how to tailor your activation activities to your learning goals and your audience to meet the needs of various learners, regardless of their prior knowledge or background in open science. You will practice various activation tools in a group-based interactive setting while developing a feel for what is right for you as a (future) open science instructor and what can be effectively applied in the open science context.

Design your own Open Science workshop: Part I

Sarah von Grebmer zu Wolfsthurn, Sara Lil Middleton
Monday 14 September, 16:00-17:30

Pooling all your skills, methods, techniques and tools from the previous workshops, in this session you will start designing your own workshop, lesson or course on an open science topic of your choice. Through guidance and feedback from the instructors as well as hands-on guidelines and ready-to-use templates, you create a first draft for your own workshop to teach after the summer school.

Tuesday 15 September, 14:15-15:45

Equipped with new skills about leadership, accessibility, and cultural awareness, in this session you will continue designing your own workshop, lesson or course on open science from the previous day with guidance from the instructors. At the end of this session, you will have developed a complete teaching plan to deliver your teaching to your selected target audience in the months following the summer school, and with the support from the LMU Open Science Center.

Presentations, Q&A, and wrap-up

Sara Lil Middleton, Sarah von Grebmer
Tuesday 15 September, 16:00-17:00

In this session, you will present your teaching plan to your peers and receive feedback from them and the OSC Team.
