The Framework for Effective Teaching at Charles University serves as:
- an overview of aspects of effective teaching
- a source of information and inspiration for the continuous improvement of teaching practices
- a guide providing direction on what to focus on when aiming to improve one’s teaching
- a reference for teaching and learning centers and for educational developers
- an overview of cross-disciplinary competencies that pedagogical skills courses at Charles University should help develop
The individual competence areas within the Framework grow from its foundation, which is represented by expertise and values. The Framework can thus be compared to a temple, where expertise and values form the foundation, supporting six pillars, each representing one competence area.
