Courses need regular phase changes. Otherwise there is a risk of loss of concentration and student participation. Phases of around 15 to 20 minutes in length are recommended.
A typical course can be structured as follows:
- "Here I am" - Welcome and conscious arrival in the course, introduction to the contents of the course / overview in a sheet
- Short phase of relaxation, e.g. through relaxation exercises, pausing or reflecting on what has been achieved (this phase should be repeated regularly)
- Maximum 15 minutes contributions, information, lecture by the teacher
- Change to an exercise, group work, active participation of the students
- Repetition of the phases
- At the end: summary of the results, short evaluation (e.g. see Teaching concept "Evaluation with stone and light")
