Ten new fellows have been selected to the Teachers’ Academy. They all give the impression of being dedicated to their profession and to the systematic development of teaching. Their activities reflect vision, creativity, thorough pedagogical competence and insight, and the willingness to focus on the student. The selected fellows have shared their expertise widely within the university as well as in national and international forums.
The new fellows’ teaching and supervision practices are innovative and pedagogically justified, and they convey an understanding of the constructive alignment of teaching. They genuinely involve their students in the construction of teaching, learning and assessment situations and in the development of teaching. They all have solid evidence of producing innovative learning materials and of making use of the new digital learning environments.
All the selected fellows have embraced collegiality in diverse ways and are known as key developers of teaching in their own fields. They are active players on the degree programme and faculty levels and almost without exception on the university level as well, not to mention in international forums. Their activities have had an undeniable effect on the collaborative development of teaching.
Descriptions for the selection of each new fellow are given in rector’s decision (only in Finnish at present).
A total of 40 applications to the Teachers’ Academy were received by the deadline. On the whole, the applicants had high merits. Many of the applicants would have earned membership of the Teachers' Academy on the basis of their skills and merits. The next application period will be organised in the year 2026.
