Teaching style¶
| Style | Example of how this looks like |
|---|---|
| Literate | Follows a formal teaching cycle |
| Evidence-based | Does 'cold calling' |
| Active learning | Short lectures |
| Learner-centered | Follows the pace of the learners |
| Learning community | Fast learners learn by helping |
| Well-prepared | Lesson plans, answers, videos |
| Transparent | Publishing evaluations and reflections |
| Energetic | Enthusiastic, sometimes talks too fast |
What is a teaching cycle?
It is a formalized form of teaching that combines all evidence-based best practices in a workflow. My favorite teaching cycle:

What is 'cold calling'?
Cold calling is, after asking a plenary question and giving all learners time to think, to as a random learner for the answer.
The goal of this is to get an idea of the full classroom's knowledge.
Why do 'cold calling'?
Because it ensures the whole class is active (and not just the ones
that are used to raising their hands) [Bell, 2020][Eddy et al, 2015].
Some learners really like it [3] and some really don't [4].
Why are lectures short?
Because lecturing hinders learning [2].
Why do you tell about yourself?
Because I should [Schwartz, 2012].
