| Abstract | This course looks into scientific theories and also empirical studies on human learning and relates them to the school. | ||||

Against this background, theories and findings on the way humans process information and on human behaviour are prepared in such a manner that they can be used for planning and conducting lessons. Students additionally gain an understanding of what is going on in learning and behavioural research so that teachers are put in a position where they can further educate themselves in the field of research into teaching and learning. | ||||
