Abstract	In this seminar, we introduce some of the major gender-related issues in the context of education and science learning, such as the under-representation of girls and women in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Different perspectives, controversies and empirical evidence will be discussed.
Learning objective	- To familiarize students with gender issues in the educational and STEM contexts and with controversies regarding these issues. - To develop a critical view on existing perspectives. - To integrate this knowledge with teacher's work.
Content	Why do fewer women than men specialize in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics)? Are girls better in language and boys better in math? These and other questions about gender differences relevant to education and STEM learning have been occupying researchers for decades. In this seminar, students will learn about major gender issues in the educational context and the different perspectives for understanding them. Students will read and critically discuss selected publications on these topics and their implications for the classroom context. There will be weekly (or bi-weekly) assignments as well as a final project in which students will integrate and elaborate on the topics learned in the seminar.
Prerequisites / Notice	Recommended: Completion of the course 851-0240-00L Human Learning (EW1). Active participation in the seminar.

Repetition of the teaching internship is not possible, also if the examination lessons have to be repeated.	W	6 credits	13P	Q. Lohmeyer
Abstract	The teaching internship offers students the opportunity to put the knowledge gained during their didactic education into practice at a Fachhochschule or a Berufsfachschule. The internship comprises a total of 30 lessons, of which 10 lessons are observed and 20 lessons are taught.
Learning objective	Students can evaluate the teaching of others with regard to general didactic aspects and communicate their observations. They can also fully prepare and conduct their own lessons. Students are able to guide learners through their lessons and actively involve them in the lessons.
Content	The teaching internship is led by an internship teacher who is assigned to the student by the lecturer of the subject didactics. In regard to the observations, the internship teacher explains his or her professional and didactic considerations, on the basis of which he or she has planned the lessons, and exchanges experiences and observations with the student during the internship. The internship teacher must attend all lessons given by the student and discuss them with the student before and after the lessons. Two lessons at the end of the internship are held as examination lessons, which are jointly assessed by the subject didactics teacher and a subject representative.
Prerequisites / Notice	Prerequisite is the successful completion of Subject Didactics I, Subject Didactics II and the Mentored Work.
