Quality Assurance in Scientific Continuing Education
© Lukas/www.pexel.com
Our interdisciplinary offer includes courses in German and English, advising and coaching, as well as offers on building networks.
One of the goals of scientific continuing education is to offer academic staff and junior scholars at TU Berlin as well as the other institutions within the Berlin University Alliance a practical, needs-based program with a sound academic focus.
The basis for this is a standardized quality assurance management.
The introductory course in TU Berlin’s certification program “Teaching for University’s Best” and the curriculum for improving the quality of teaching at TU Berlin both received accreditation from the accreditation committee of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Hochschuldidaktik e.V. (dghd) in 2006, 2012, and 2018.
The accreditation procedure was conducted on the basis of the European Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in the European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (ESG), in accordance with the requirements of the European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (ENQA).
Scientific Continuing Education’s evaluation process
As part of the quality assurance process for continuing education courses offered by Scientific Continuing Education and Cooperation (ZEWK), participants are asked to provide feedback through three surveys conducted at different times.
This 3-stage procedure is conducted online using the EvaSys software, in keeping with the procedures for conducting course evaluations at Technische Universität Berlin. Based on the results, both the continuing education program and the certification programs are regularly adapted and developed. Suggestions for additional topics are taken into consideration when doing so.
