Abstract

In 2008 a project called "LeWI - Lehre, Wirksamkeit und Intervention" (LeWI - Teaching, Effectiveness and Intervention) started at four Universities in Germany (Technische Universität München, Technische Universität Dortmund, Technische Universität Braunschweig, Leuphana Universität Lüneburg). The project was launched by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) in Germany and belongs to the Incentive Programme "Higher Education Research as contribution to the professionalisation of Higher Education Teaching" (Hochschulforschung als Beitrag zur Professionalisierung der Hochschullehre). Funding period of the whole programme is 2008-2013. Previously there have been launched no similar initiatives in Germany or elsewhere. The project wants to investigate the attitudes of the teaching staff towards their courses, the students, the Bologna-Process, aspects of gender and diversity and advanced didactical trainings. Based on these results, 12 Persons from the teaching staff were coached and this coaching was evaluated in a comparative design.
