Why Pedagogical Idea at LTU?

Pedagogical Idea LTU clearly sets out LTU's pedagogical approach and is one of LTU's official steering documents. Commitment, persistence and independence are the three fundamental principles and the approach focuses on guiding students to take increasingly greater responsibility for their own learning and development as they progress through their course of study.

A key concept is the "independence stairway" - a way of visualising students' development from professional student to participatory actor and finally independent actor. Clarity in course and program design will make it evident to students that their studies will place them on a clear path toward becoming a competent professional in their chosen field. A supportive and engaging learning environment will help them commit to their studies and persist toward achieving this goal.
