Project Summary


The teaching qualification programme aimed to support a process of teaching competence development for a group of selected, motivated, and preferably young academic staff from all six Palestinian partner universities. During the programme, they improved their theoretical and practical teaching knowledge and skills, transformed their selected research materials into a course, and wrote a reflection report on their teaching portfolio. After a positive external review by educational specialists, they have received a certificate of achievement. The project stimulated peer-learning and best practice sharing.

Project Objectives


The goal of this capacity development project on teaching and learning was to enable university staff to achieve a Teaching Qualification Programme certificate that is similar to the Dutch University Teaching Qualification programme. As a result of the project, the participants have:

  • improved their didactic skills and application of a teaching and learning concept;
  • strengthened their awareness and practice in student-centred teaching, based on the concepts of constructive alignment and active learning;
  • reviewed and (re-)developed their teaching and learning materials as a means to enable effective learning (e.g., the lecturers transform the research results from their PhD into lecturing materials).
