Curriculum
The organisation of the modules are a major component because it is understood to be part of the development of teaching skills in the field of dementia. For each discipline there is a basis- and advanced module planned. The basis modules will take place in meetings of 2 days each and in which basis modules of at least 2 disciplines are taught. Thereby these days are timely planned as followed:
Day 0: Arrival of the external scholarship holders
Day 1: Introduction and discussion of basis modules
Day 2: Continuation of the introduction and discussion of basis modules; after 15:00 homeward journey for the external scholarship holders.
The basis modules are compiled by the scholarship holders with continuous support of the supervising university lecturer. The introduction of the basis modules are performed by the scholarship holders (with support of the university lecturer). At the discussion, special attention should be paid to the connection of the entire curriculum.
With the basis modules, the main emphasis lies in the presentation of dementia through the perspective of the particular reference discipline. With the advanced modules, main emphasis should be on the consolidation of the disciplinary view as well as the perspectives of the interdisciplinary discourse. What possibilities of interdisciplinarity in teaching, research and practice are recognizable?
At the discussion, mainly in the advanced modules (as well as in other topics), the invitation of representatives of “superior” practise should be considered thus to the task of the research consortium- to promote, to fulfil the translation from theory to practice.
