Teacher Training – Pedagogical Solutions Developed by Turku UAS
Innovation pedagogy produces innovation competencies
Innovation pedagogy is a specific approach to learning and teaching which enhances students’ individual, interpersonal and networking competences needed in the future working life. To achieve these so-called innovation competences, the whole learning environment must be constructed in a new way and learning methods must be reviewed. One key element is enriching teaching and learning with educational research, development and innovation (RDI) methods.
