The presentation, titled „Practical Implementation of Teaching Methods for PhD Students,” was prepared by Wojciech Zaraś, MA, MS, as part of training for PhD students, and was funded by the European Union under the HumanIC initiative. It focuses on modernizing higher education pedagogy by bridging theoretical educational frameworks with practical classroom implementation, specifically tailored for technical and engineering disciplines such as hospital and operating room ventilation systems.
The material is structured around core educational concepts, beginning with student diversity analyzed through the Gaussian curve, which breaks down a classroom into average performers, lower-performing students, and high-performers to support differentiated instruction. It integrates Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy to balance lower-order and higher-order thinking skills alongside pedagogical strategies like lecturing, flipped classrooms, individualized learning, and project-based learning. Furthermore, the presentation covers technology integration via the SAMR model and digital teaching platforms like Google Classroom, and details two practical implementation models known as Option A and Option B, complete with multi-dimensional assessment rubrics.
