Course Content

Learning Pathway Professional Practice

In this course unit, students start with 2 hours of co-teaching for moral studies didactics. The form of co-teaching depends on the needs of the situation. Subsequently, a supervised practice internship for professional didactics in moral sciences is transferred to a supervised practice internship. Students design lessons (7h) which they also carry out in class practice, in the presence of the mentor.

For students with LIO status: in-service internship of 28 hours (and if applicable pre-service or alternative internship). If the assignment volume is between 200 and 499 teaching hours, the student may not be able to perform sufficient unique teaching hours for this course unit. In that case, additional assignments from the regular track will be given in proportion to the missing hours. In cases where the LIO student has no or insufficient teaching assignment within the field of this course unit, an additional assignment is given from the regular track , i.e. guided practice internship. Here the student designs lessons that are carried out in classroom practice, in the presence of the mentor.
