Formation for the Quality of Education - A Curriculum for Didactics in Higher Education at JKU Linz

Since 2004 Johannes Kepler University (JKU) Linz offers a new curriculum for didactics in higher education that is obligatory to all those university lecturers appointed by the university after January 2004. This curriculum „Bildung für die Qualität der Lehre” (Formation for the Quality of Education) is organized by the university’s Centre for Social and Intercultural Competence. The concept for the curriculum has been drawn up by an interdisciplinary working group within the last few months. In this contribution we outline the framework and the core ideas of the concept. The main part of the chapter details the projected curriculum that has started in June 2004. In a final outlook we promise an evaluative report on the first curriculum.
