Top marks for teachers at Hamburg's universities
TU lecturers receive Hamburg Teaching Award 2024
18.07.2024
For outstanding teaching, innovative teaching methods and new teaching concepts, a total of 23 prizewinners will receive the City of Hamburg Teaching Award 2024. The award is presented annually to lecturers at Hamburg's six state universities and is endowed with 10,000 euros each. The nominations come from the Hamburg student body.
Science Senator Katharina Fegebank: “Science is alive in Hamburg because it is lived every day by people with passion. This is exactly what the Hamburg Teaching Award makes visible. The prizewinners have impressed with innovative teaching formats and new ideas and arouse curiosity and a desire to learn day after day. Their commitment motivates students to perform at their best, and this benefits the universities as well as Hamburg as a center of science and research. I congratulate all award winners on this well-deserved honor!”
This year, Dr.-Ing. Koojana Kuladinithi (Computer Science Engineering degree course) and Dorothee Schielein (Teaching degree course at vocational schools, specializing in media technology) from Hamburg University of Technology were honoured with the Hamburg Teaching Award. Dr.-Ing. Kuladinithi impressed the students in her Master's course “Communication Networks” with the concept of “project-based learning” and the “flipped classroom”: a lot of practical work was carried out in groups, gaps in knowledge were actively identified and all participants were brought up to a common level of knowledge. Dr. Kuladinithi was also able to convey abstract topics such as space communication to the students in a motivating way. Dorothee Schielein also dealt intensively with the different levels of knowledge of her participants in her course “Digital and print media”. She applied the concept of “blended learning”: Schielein used the Moodle and Mattermost services alongside classroom teaching to impart knowledge, provided individual support both online and offline and created a constructive and appreciative learning atmosphere with a high level of practical relevance and an excursion.
Background
Every year, students at participating state universities are invited to submit nominations for the Hamburg Teaching Award. The proposals are then evaluated by an internal university jury together with the students in an open discussion. The focus is on a high level of subject-specific and didactic expertise on the part of the lecturers, innovative teaching methods, quality assurance via feedback systems, motivational skills and the creation of links to subject-specific or professional practice.
