Welcome!
Teaching is a complex and creative practice where professional judgment, ethical considerations, and relational work play crucial roles alongside subject knowledge. In a time when higher education is increasingly shaped by demands for digitalization, standardization, and measurable outcomes, there are good reasons to pause and reflect on other dimensions of teaching—those that cannot always be quantified but nonetheless shape the very core of educational quality.
At this year’s university pedagogical conference, we aim to create a meeting place for exploring and re-establishing teaching as an art. What happens to the role of the teacher when teaching is reduced too much to mere necessary interactions, technical solutions, and efficiency demands? How can teachers make use of the enthusiastic, relational, and responsive aspects of teaching and thereby create truly meaningful and caring learning opportunities for our students?
For this year’s conference, we especially welcome contributions that highlight one or more of the perspectives described above. At the same time, we want to emphasize that contributions addressing teaching and learning from other angles are equally welcome. The core idea of the conference is to gather contributions that, in different ways, enrich the conversation about teaching and learning in higher education.
