The attendees included 98 STEMfaculty from several universities all interested in the topic of reflective teaching. Many ofthe participants had been trained in evidence-based instructional practices and faculty peerobservation. A survey of participants asked these faculty to reflect on the idea of a T1classification and how it might be framed in the broader conversation about enhancingSTEM teaching. The survey responses were grouped based on change quadrants. Theresponses indicated alignment around reflective teaching, inclusive classroom practices,and recognition of excellence in pedagogy.Introduction and

- pedagogic training of academic teachersAbstractThe following report explains, why it is necessary, to train academic teachers by using a“competence-oriented” curriculum. That means, to give the teachers the chance, to workproject-oriented and to learn to reflect their own working and problem-solutions in teaching.To demonstrate the possibility of such curriculum, a prototype was developed by using themethods of vocational-science. That means to analyze the work-processes of academicteachers about their core work-tasks and to transfer this to project-based modules ofengineering education.Keywords: PBL, PBE, TVET, Bachelor, educationProblem in brief: About the duality of engineering BA Courses of studyConcept of

The unit had an inquiry-based focus; instead of telling the teachers how to use amulti-meter they were allowed to explore and discover how to measure voltage on their own. Asthe unit progressed, the teachers were introduced to each separate component of a circuit in asimilar way.

Akin to critical pedagogy datingback to Dewey and Paulo Freire or critical theory associated with the Frankfurt school, criticalnarratives encourage students to think of power dynamics. Critical also relates to thinking aboutmoral judgment, when moral judgment is defined as issues related to fairness and justice [4].Narrative because if students are going to transfer the problem-solving skills they gained in theclassroom to considering their impact on a variety of stakeholders, they need an intervention thatgoes beyond the traditional case study or a module built around memorizing
