Vom Wiegen wird die Sau nicht fett... Wozu evaluieren wir eigentlich? (QM-Symposium, Münster)
(2024)
This article explores educational media pedagogies that are predominantly non-digital, but nonetheless timely and influential. Design Thinking, Making, and Serious Play are three distinct yet interrelated approaches to problem-solving, resilience and innovation that have gained increased traction in education over the past decade. We explore the similarities and differences between these playful, experiental pedagogies and provide an overview of how these approaches can be integrated effectively into education settings. Finally, we provide transferable examples, including evaluation results, from a weeklong workshop series at Muenster University of Applied Sciences conducted in Spring 2022. The article serves as a theoretically informed practical guide for educators and practitioners seeking to select, implement and evaluate playful pedagogies. It contributes to the understanding of underlying principles, characteristics, potential impact and limitations.

The paper describes the design, facilitation and outcomes of a series of workshops with faculty, staff and students from a teacher education program specialized in vocational education and training (VET). We analyze and reflect upon the facilitation techniques, discussion and participation results, and evaluation of the workshop series. Practitioners and researchers alike will find this article a valuable source for contemplating the effectiveness of design thinking, making and serious play in teacher education. While our case study is situated in the particular context of preparing future vocational teachers within the German VET system, the resulting concepts are applicable to other teacher education programs
Die Sehnsucht nach einem Ausbruch aus dem Alltagshandeln in der Hochschuldidaktik, nach einer tieferen Auseinandersetzung mit dem eigenen Selbstverständnis als Didaktikteam im Wandelwerk der FH Münster und nach einer gemeinsamen Bestandsaufnahme zum Stand des hochschulweiten Projekts Lernkultur führte zum Experiment Booksprint. Paradoxerweise konnten drei Tage am Stück zu diesem inhaltlichen Innehalten genutzt werden, um gleichzeitig unter hohem Zeitdruck ein fertiges Buch entstehen zu lassen. Studierendenzentrierung nimmt nicht nur in den Beiträgen breiten Raum ein, sondern manifestiert sich auch in der Mitwirkung von zwei Studentinnen mit spannenden Blickwinkeln. Dieses agile Arbeiten wurde durch die Förderung der Stiftung Innovation für die Hochschullehre möglich.
Inhaltliche Verzahnung in dualen Studiengängen - Begriffliche Klärungen und praktische Anregungen
(2022)
Angestoßen durch die Verabschiedung der Musterrechtsverordnung und eine sich ändernde Akkreditierungspraxis wird derzeit in vielen Hochschulen die Gestaltung dualer Studiengänge diskutiert. Insbesondere die nun stärker als früher geforderte inhaltliche Verzahnung stellt manchen Fachbereich vor Herausforderungen. Nach Beobachtung der Autorin erschweren häufig begriffliche Unschärfen – sowohl auf Seiten der Studiengangsleitungen als auch in Akkreditierungsverfahren – die Suche nach konstruktiven Lösungen. Vor diesem Hintergrund bietet der vorliegende Beitrag neben einigen grundlegenden Gedanken zur „Dualität“ dieses besonderen Studiengangstyps vor allem einen Vorschlag zur begriffliche Klärung sowie Anregungen für eine systematische inhaltliche Verzahnung.
The article describes and evaluates the concept and format of a 2-day design thinking workshop with vocational teacher candidate students. Drawing from our experiences as instructors as well as the qualitative feedback we received from students, we critically discuss what worked well and what was lost. We contrast the outcomes of this workshop with previous design thinking activities. The results highlight the qualities of design thinking that necessitate interaction in physical spaces, as well as opportunities for design thinking activities in a digitized format. As many regions experience second waves of COVID-19, educational programs will face the challenge of transforming physically co-located instruction to a completely virtual format. Our results can serve as a guide on how to recuperate energy and engagement for highly interactive seminars and workshops

The PAQAF – the Pan-African Quality Assurance and Accreditation Framework – is an overarching framework for several action lines and instruments related to the convergence of the African Higher Education sector, and more specifically quality assurance and accreditation. It was adopted by the Specialized Technical Committee (STC) on Education, Science and Technology of the African Union Assembly in 2016. The implementation of some of the PAQAF’s action lines and the development of some of its instruments has been supported by the HAQAA initiative from 2015 to 2018 and is currently continued in the context of HAAQA2. Module 1 gives an overview of the PAQAF's deveopment and action lines.
The article explains how an “Academic Scorecard” may help to build a bridge between operational and strategic management. First, we will have a closer look at the problem of the “strategic gap”, before the basic concept of the Balanced Scorehand is explained. Then, the Academic Scorecard will be introduced and applied to the sphere of internationalisation. We illustrate how a scorecard can be developed and end with some recommendations.
The Internationalisation of Higher Education - Perspectives from the THEA Ukraine Project and Beyond
(2021)
The Ukrainian higher education system has undergone a number
of developments since Ukraine committed itself to the Bologna
Process in 2005. Internationalisation and quality assurance in higher
education have thus become two core policy issues to aid Ukraine’s
efforts in becoming a full member of the European Higher
Education Area.
Within the THEA Ukraine project (October 2019 – September 2021),
32 Ukrainian Higher Education Administrators received training
in the field of internationalisation in higher education and science
management. The participants worked on individual application
projects to foster the international orientation of their home
institutions, which are located all over Ukraine.
The implementation of this project has provided material for a
number of case study descriptions of projects undertaken in the
THEA Ukraine framework, as well as general perspectives on
internationalisation in higher education; this anthology covers
both of these aspects.
Africa recognised the potential of digital transformation before the COVID-19 pandemic. With the Digital Transformation Strategy, the continent committed itself to support this change in line with the Agenda 2063: The Africa We Want with focus on investment in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) , the promotion of the digital economy and the adoption of open and distance learning in tertiary education. However, the pandemic has given renewed impetus for digital change in higher education. The shutdowns of educational institutions brought about by COVID-19 have demonstrated that teaching and learning can be re-designed and educational institutions developed further, with the sprouting of collaborations in and across countries and continents. The drive for digital transformation, which is now gaining momentum throughout higher education institutions worldwide, is of major significance in giving renewed stimulus to one of the boldest agendas that have been adopted by mankind, the SDGs, the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals.
Die Einführung eines hochschulweiten Qualitätsmanagement-Systems ist ein ambitioniertes Unterfangen. Mit dem CORE-Modell wird ein Ansatz vorgestellt, der sowohl die Konzeption eines neuen QM-Systems als auch die Verfeinerung bereits etablierter Systeme unterstützen kann. Das Modell unterscheidet vier Handlungsmodule (Clarify Goals, Optimize Processes, Reflect Outcome, Encourage Improvement), die exemplarisch auf unterschiedliche Ebenen im Handlungsfeld „Studium und Lehre“ angewandt werden. Trotz einer sehr klaren Systematik erlaubt das Modell eine individuelle Ausgestaltung und kann daher von sehr unterschiedlichen Hochschulen (Differenzierung z. B. nach Typus, Größe, Fach-/Landeskulturen) adaptiert werden.
Teaching and learning in international and thus intercultural contexts places special demands on the conception of trainings. The same holds true for online or distance learning. Taken together, both factors – training in an intercultural and online context – pose specific didactic and technical challenges. Against the background of the COVID-19 pandemic all international training programmes under the umbrella of the Higher Education Management Programme at FH Münster –University of Applied Sciences had to be held online. In the article on hand we share our experiences with online training for actors in the higher education area from developing and emerging countries and discuss its specific demands along the lines of common criteria for effective learning.
In diesem Beitrag beschreiben wir Irritationen, die wir in unserer hochschuldidaktischen Arbeit für das Wandelwerk, Zentrum für Qualitätsentwicklung51 der FH Münster, erlebt haben, sowie den dadurch ausgelösten Reflexions- und Entwicklungsprozess. Der Prozess hat uns auf den Weg zu einem neuen nutzerzentrierten Ansatz für die hochschuldidaktische Arbeit gebracht. Basierend auf einer qualitativen Interviewstudie sowie einem ko-konstruktiven Design Thinking-Workshop wurden Bedarfe und Befindlichkeiten unterschiedlicher Lehrender erarbeitet. Gemeinsam mit den Lehrenden konnten konkrete Ideen und grundlegende Prinzipien für nutzerzentrierte hochschuldidaktische Angebote entwickelt werden. Diese Ansätze wurden im Rahmen einer Diskurswerkstatt auf der dghd 2018 diskutiert, erweitert und validiert.
Higher Education Institutions are facing more and more external rules and requirements, most of which are concerning structures and processes of Higher Education Management or Quality Management. With this, new demands for professional development and consulting of higher education managers all over the world come into being. The article on hand provides definitions of different formats for professional development and consulting services and deals with the special demands of international cooperation in this field. As an example, the Higher Education Management Programme of Münster University of Applied Siences (FH Münster) in Germany will be introduced, which respects the specialties of international and intercultural cooperation in the area of professional development and consulting.
