4.1 Reflections on your own teaching. The presentation of your teaching expertise should describe what has been done, how and why it was done, and what the results were. Describe your teaching philosophy and how it manifests itself in your own teaching, e.g. in course guides, lesson plans, exercises, and examination tasks. Comment: You can see here that at Stockholm University, the pedagogical point of view and concrete examples go hand-in-hand. Keep in mind that your point of view and your examples must coincide. You cannot write that you have a special perspective and then teach in a completely different way. Usually one refers to pedagogical theory about university teaching. What, how, why and results are classic didactic questions.

4.2 Teaching experience. Describe your teaching experience in the first, second and third cycles, as well as in continuing professional development. Specify your role in the courses listed, as well as their extent and cycle. Comment: It is often a quantitative summary but when you are writing about your teaching as an example, answer didactic questions such as: For whom, what, why and give results. Think about future development as well. 

4.3 Experience as a supervisor. In the first and second cycle: Specify the number of degree projects for which you have been a supervisor. – In the third cycle: Specify the doctoral student’s name, year of admission, and (where applicable) year of completion.  Comment: It is often a quantitative summary but when you are writing about your teaching as an example, answer didactic questions such as: For whom, what, why and give results. Think about future development as well. 

4.4 Training in teaching and learning in higher education. List any supervisor training and courses in teaching and learning in higher education, including the extent of the training and when it took place. Attach copies of certificates regarding such training. Comment: Today there are 15 credits in university education if there are no exceptions.

4.5 Course development and course administration. Describe, with examples and documentation, your work with course development. For example, describe how you have used course evaluations for further course development. Specify appointments as, for example, director of studies or study adviser. Comment: It is important not to only describe what was done but also reflect on how and why!

4.6 Teaching material. List any books, articles, compendiums, or other course material that you have produced. Specify the format, level, scope, and significance to teaching. Comment: If you have published a report or article which affects university students’ learning it is meritorious. Do not forget the digital component. Have you created any digital support, taught using information technology or developed digital learning tools to support student learning?

4.7 Teaching awards and honours

4.8 Other activities related to teaching. E.g. teacher training and participation in teaching conferences, seminars, and projects. Written statements, e.g. from the head of department or director of studies, should be attached under section 9. COPIES OF CERTIFICATES. Comment: At Stockholm University, an internal university pedagogical conference is arranged regularly where teachers can present and share their educational experiences. This is an advantage in the assessment of pedagogical skills.
