Agile teaching methodology

Abstract

The primary purpose of this guide is to introduce teachers of non-computer science courses to the specifics of ATML. This handbook presents an approach slightly modified from the original ATML to make it more useful for teaching courses related to the bioeconomy, that is, courses that are interdisciplinary in nature. Interdisciplinary teaching poses a major challenge for the teacher in itself. An approach to didactics modeled on ATML can be very useful and can enhance the results obtained in interdisciplinary teaching. This introduction explains why a modern teacher should use ATML and briefly discusses contemporary conditions, as well as the challenges faced by university teachers. The adaptation of the teaching process to modern needs results from external social conditions beyond the control of university staff, and from internal conditions, i.e. the commitment of the involved university teachers to the quality of teaching. Understanding these determinants will result in better outcomes, better evaluation of classes by students, which will ultimately affect the teacher's job satisfaction.
