Teacher time from a student perspective - report release

Report release
Uppsala Student Union proudly presents the report Teacher-led time from a student perspective - A follow-up and survey of the proportion of teacher-led teaching in education at six faculties at Uppsala University.
How we went about it
By analyzing the timetables of some ninety courses, we have investigated the teaching time in the faculties with which Uppsala Student Union works. The results of the survey show that a majority of faculties (4 out of 6) have less than five hours of teacher-led time per week. The Faculties of Social Sciences, Education, Theology, Linguistics and Faculty of Arts have an average of 4.75 hours of teaching time per week. Programs at the Faculty of Medicine tend to have more teaching time than the other faculties.

Conclusion
Uppsala Student Union believes that an adequate amount of teaching time must be provided for students to be able to absorb the training. There should be a consensus within the institution that all courses should offer basic interaction with a teacher to promote learning and provide a good introduction to university-level studies. Therefore, Uppsala Student Union wants all students to be offered at least ten hours of teacher-led learning per week.
On 31 March, at 12:15-12:45, Uppsala Student Union will organise a panel discussion on the issue at the same time as we present the report.
