Objectives:
Students get acquainted with the concept of innovation competence.

Students train a more objective self-perception. They become aware that biases play a role in self-assessments and learn how to avoid or at least reduce them.

Methods:  

Introduction of the Sincoe-Concept of innovation competence Sincoe@Assessment Tool in a face-to-face lecture or in a online synchronous TEAMS-lecture. 

Minigroups: What experiences have students had with self-assessment so far? How reliable do they consider a self-assessment of their own skills (their own innovation skills) to be? Report and summary of the results in plenary.

Application of the Sincoe assessment training on Moodle. Subsequently, individual working with the Sincoe@Assessment Tool.

Students meet again in minigroups: How did the early training affect the work with the questionnaire?

Written summary of the mini-group results, feedback sheet.

Presentation and discussion of the most important results in plenary.

Environment:

20 Students of the 4th or higher semester in the compulsory course Human Resource Management. Age between 20 and 40 years. They have experience with group work in face-to-face and online settings.

Role:

Lecturer provides informative input. She motivates, helps and advises on the use of the assessment tool, the Assessment Training and on the organization of the TEAMS groups. She also moderates the large group event.

Motivation: 

This is a compulsory course. The students have decided on key areas of their studies, but some are also toying with the idea of working self-employed after graduation. The motivational parts of the course may therefore be particularly interesting.

Assessment: 

Sincoe@Assessment tool and feedback-worksheet for the TEAMS groups.
