Often we are asked to welcome more and more students into our lectures, seminars and other teaching units. This can be a real challenge, especially with the increasing diversity of our student body. As a group of academics, we decided to proactively approach this topic by conducting research into our students' feelings and anxieties while being taught in large classes. The aim was to introduce best practice and teaching excellence amongst academics, which we approached by producing an easily accessible education toolkit informed by our research findings. This problem is not exclusive to Reading or indeed to the UK; this is a topic discussed in higher education around the world. Attendance rates in lectures drop as students vote with their feet. Attainment drops as students disengage with the teaching. As we cannot ignore these facts it is important to pro-actively address them, identify the causes, and adjust our teaching to mitigate the risks.... view less

Oft werden Lehrende gebeten, immer mehr Studierende in Vorlesungen, Seminaren und anderen Lehreinheiten aufzunehmen. Dies kann eine echte Herausforderung sein, insbesondere mit der zunehmenden Vielfalt der Studierendenschaft. Eine Gruppe von Akademiker:innen um die Autorin hat beschlossen, dieses Thema proaktiv anzugehen, indem sie die Gefühle und Ängste der Studierenden während des Unterrichts in großen Veranstaltungen erforschen. Ihr Ziel war die Einführung von Best Practices und exzellenter Lehre, was sie durch die Erstellung eines leicht zugänglichen Bildungs-Toolkits, das auf ihren Forschungsergebnissen basiert, in Angriff nahmen. Dieses Problem gibt es nicht nur in Reading oder Großbritannien; es ist ein Thema, das in der Hochschulbildung auf der ganzen Welt diskutiert wird. Die Anwesenheitsrate in den Vorlesungen sinkt, da die Studierenden "mit den Füßen abstimmen". Der Lernerfolg sinkt, weil die Studierenden sich von der Lehre distanzieren. Da diese Tatsachen nicht ignoriert werden können, ist es wichtig, sie proaktiv anzugehen, die Ursachen zu identifizieren und die Lehre anzupassen, um die Risiken zu mindern.... view less
