The section aims to continuously  develop the current state of art of teaching and learning in public health. Experienced lecturers share their teaching expertise with early career lecturers. In addition to individual degree programmes and lecturers, a subject-specific accreditation agency, the AHPGS, is also a member of the section. Contemporary teaching motivates students and is a solid ground for promoting health literacy in the society. We focus on diversity and social inequality within the population, digitalisation and interprofessionalism in healthcare.

Goals

• Development and evaluation of teaching methods
• Networking of teaching staff
• Acquisition and development of competences (including communicative competence)
• Research habitus according to: "Education is not an affair of 'telling' and being told, but an active and constructive process."    (John Dewey)

How do we achieve these goals?

• Exchange between science, politics and practice (e.g. positions/opinions, initiatives)
• Exchange about (current, innovative) methods and topics in teaching, as: "We don't learn from experience. We learn from reflecting on experience." (John Dewey)
• Promotion of networks within research and teaching, because

"Academic freedom is the freedom to learn as much as one wants." (Rudolf Virchow)
