Every year, the University of Gothenburg award a pedagogical prize to reward teachers who have developed and implemented a course or a programme in an exemplary way. By paying attention to and thereby stimulating such efforts, teachers can be given recognition for their quality-developing pedagogical achievements. The purpose of the prize is also to make the efforts known outside of the course or programme in question, and in this way serve as good examples of pedagogical development.
Who can be nominated?
Prize-winners may be groups (e.g. teams of teachers who work on a course or programme) or individual teachers who teach first-, second- or third-cycle programmes. Everyone who teaches in the Faculty of Education’s activities and is employed by the University of Gothenburg can be considered for a prize. Prizes are awarded as professional support to one or more prize-winners for a maximum of 100,000 SEK per year. The prize money shall be used for the prize-winners’ advancement and development.
The prize can only be awarded to persons who are currently active in the profession.
Who can nominate?
A nomination of a prize-winner shall be made by a person other than the nominated person.
All students/doctoral students, alumni and staff at the Faculty of Education may propose prize-winners for a pedagogical prize.
