ASKFOOD (Alliance for Skills & Knowledge to Widen Food Sector-related Open Innovation, Optimization and Development) is an Erasmus+ Knowledge Alliance project (2018- 2021) that will contribute to implementing innovative and disruptive training methodologies, schemes and materials in food-related study programmes for the purpose of improving the quality of HE study programmes; improve the employability of graduates; and improve the skills of and abilities of HE trainers and business to develop joint and innovative activities in training and education.

The aim of this questionnaire is to obtain a picture of the state-of-the-art of existing creative teaching techniques, schemes and materials applied in the food and food-related department/faculty at your university/institute/organisation. Creative and innovative teaching techniques (such as roleplays, simulation, games, ect.) are defined here as the act of teaching in a novel participatory way that promote learners’ ability to learn.

The questionnaire is addressed to teachers and trainers working in HE institutions, professional training organisations, VET and professional organisations in any country of the world.

The questionnaire consists of three parts:

  1. Background information;
  2. General information related to the course/module;
  3. Educational Quality concept of the course/module

If you apply innovative teaching methodologies in more than one course/module, please fill in the questionnaire for each course/module.

Please forward the link of this questionnaire to any colleague you may know could be interested and dealing with innovative teaching methodologies.
