Abstract

The paper reports on applying teaching and learning methods from university didactics can to support a systematic planning process and the didactics-based execution of a PD workshop session in an MSc programme, leading to repeated top score evaluation results. The hypothesis is that a systematic approach of planning, evaluating, and considering feed-back allows applying the didactical concepts.
