Education follows research - a ‘teaching strategy’ The aim of education at KIT is the qualification of young scientists on the basis of scientific and research-based education interdisciplinary competition Finishing their education at KIT, students are able to recognize future challenges/ problems in science and society express these challenges/ problems find solutions employing scientific methods courtesy A. Wanner, K. Klink 10 Universities meet Laboratories 2016 A.-S. Müller - The KIT model of combining research and education Institute for Beam Physics and Technology
Aims of research-based education Development of an investigative attitude actively support curiosity and the skill to ask questions Acquisition of field-specific knowledge as well as of ‘meta-competences’ ( interdisciplinary & soft skills) prepare for a career in science or industry by fostering the ability for decision-making courtesy A. Wanner, K. Klink 11 Universities meet Laboratories 2016 A.-S. Müller - The KIT model of combining research and education Institute for Beam Physics and Technology
Shift from Teaching to Learning Output instead of input The focus is on learning results and activities of the students... ... not so much on the content and on the expertise of the teacher. Which skills/knowledge should the students acquire? What do students have to do in order to obtain that? How can students get feedback to evaluate their own progress? courtesy A. Wanner, K. Klink 12 Universities meet Laboratories 2016 A.-S. Müller - The KIT model of combining research and education Institute for Beam Physics and Technology
Focus: accelerators Education in accelerator physics and technology: regular master courses (physics, 2 semesters, with tutorials, hands-on training and excursion) block courses in the frame work of graduate schools (e.g., Helmholtz International School on Teratronics (HIRST) In preparation: Experiments in the “Methods and technologies for modern physics” as control room independent modul in the physics master curriculum incl. accelerators, electron microscopy, lasers, electronics, data analysis, imaging methods Accelerator technology Computing &Simulation 13 Universities meet Laboratories 2016 A.-S.
