This mechanism encourages and improves self-evaluation within the respondent’s field of work. Feedback includes descriptions of different teaching dimensions as well as ideas on how to develop and improve teaching practices and teaching-related wellbeing. Dimensions of HowUTeach instrument include: teaching related wellbeing, experiences of work environment, integration of teaching and research and approached to teaching.

Further steps follow the needs of the degree programme.

Three to four programmes or majors from all Aalto fields will be participating in the piloting phase during the academic year 2022-2023.
