Innovative Teaching Awards

Innovative Teaching Awards Workflow

1. Award Periods
   The AGÜ Teaching Innovation Award is given once a year, at the end of each academic year.
2. Application Process
   At the end of each spring semester, an informative email regarding the award application is sent to all academic staff. Faculty members who wish to apply must complete the AGÜ Teaching Innovation Award Application Form and submit it within the specified period. The application form includes course information, innovative teaching practices, sustainability approaches, and supporting documents. A faculty member may submit multiple applications for different courses.
3. Formation of the Jury
   Following the submission of applications, a jury committee is formed, consisting of faculty members from different academic units, members of the Education Committee, and representatives from the Student Council.
4. Evaluation Process
   Jury members evaluate each application based on five main criteria specified in the “Teaching Innovation Award Evaluation Criteria” document:

• Originality and Creativity
• Active Participation / Active Learning
• Effectiveness
• Sustainability
• Impact
  Each criterion is scored on a scale from 1 to 5.

1. Determination of Results
   In addition to the jury evaluation scores, student course evaluation survey results for the relevant course are also considered. Based on the final scores, the faculty members eligible for the award are determined. The number of awards and any special categories are decided by the jury.
2. Award Ceremony
   Faculty members selected for the award receive their prizes during an official event held at the graduation ceremony.
