Innovative doctoral education for global food security – Joint development of internationalization and transferable skills

1) to support the professional and institutional development of tertiary agricultural education, with focus on doctoral education, at universities/research organizations in Africa; and

2) to strengthen the process of internationalization of doctoral education at SLU.

Long-term aims

StructurePart 1: Joint development of transferable skill courses for doctoral students and workshops for senior staff together with Makerere university.

Part 2: Thematic subject courses connected to current research cooperation between SLU and African universities/research organizations.

Part 3: Teachers exchanges with universities/organizations connected to the SLU Global themes

Part 1: Transferable skill courses

On being a scientist – Global and local perspectives

Develop insight in- what is scientific knowledge- how to make ethical judgments

Information retrieval and scientific communication – Global and local perspectives

Develop knowledge of- factors affecting search information- search processes- scientific communication- source criticism- critical evaluation of publications

Pedagogics for teaching and learning - Global and local perspectives

Develop ability to- reflect on the role as teacher- design diverse on campus and on-line learning activities- plan and design higher education courses

Part 1: Workshops relating to the transferable skill courses

•Pedagogics • Teaching and learning • Supervision

•Efficient global scientific communication - Networks and platforms for exchange of information - Open Access and other methods

• What is science

Added value•the first step in a step wise harmonization of academic traditions, guidelines, routines for doctoral education at Makerere University and SLU in order to promote future educational cooperation.

Part 2: Thematic subject courses

Thematic subject courses that are integrated in ongoing collaborations between SLU research schools, capacity building programs or major research programs.

Pedagogic consultants from the SLU Centre for educational development (UPC) will support during the course development.

To be discussed during the workshop cont.

Additional value – harmonizing the doctoral education

• Joint development• Course syllabus approved by both universities

• Joint performance• Practical how to do -routines• Duties towards the participants

• Joint assessment• Evaluation by the participants• Self assessment

Common for all courses – both thematic subject courses and the transferable skill courses

Core competencies- Communication - What is science- Ethical judgements

Integrating international, intercultural & comparative perspectives

Global food security

Doctoral education

How to become good at skills and abilities based on practice ?

•Train with the help of role models and examples

•Use your knowledge in new siutations

• to be allowed to fail (under controlled circumstances)
