Abstract	In this seminar, we will 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). Common perspectives, controversies and empirical evidence will be discussed.
Learning objective	- To familiarize students with gender issues in the educational and STEM context 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 papers in the field, and their implications for the classroom context. In a final project, students will integrate and elaborate on the topics learned in the seminar and will present their work in class.

Abstract	In their mentored work on subject didactics, students put into practice the contents of the subject-didactics lectures and go into these in greater depth. Under supervision, they compile tuition materials that are conducive to learning and/or analyse and reflect on certain topics from a subject-based and pedagogical angle.
Learning objective	The objective is for the students: - to be able to familiarise themselves with a tuition topic by consulting different sources, acquiring materials and reflecting on the relevance of the topic and the access they have selected to this topic from a specialist, subject-didactics and pedagogical angle and potentially from a social angle too. - to show that they can independently compile a tuition sequence that is conducive to learning and develop this to the point where it is ready for use.
Content	Thematic Focus The topics of the mentored work are mostly chosen from the high school curriculum. Methods With the help of the mentor the students individually work on a topic and write a thesis about it.

402-0920-00L	Introductory Internship Physics Simultaneous enrolment in Physics Didactics: Special Didactics of Physics Teaching - course 402-0910-00L - is compulsory.	O	3 credits	6P	M. Mohr
Abstract	During the introductory teaching practice, the students sit in on five lessons given by the teacher responsible for their teaching practice, and teach five lessons themselves. The students are given observation and reflection assignments by the teacher responsible for their teaching practice.
Learning objective	Right at the start of their training, students acquire initial experience with the observation of teaching, the establishment of concepts for teaching and the implementation of teaching. This early confrontation with the complexity of everything that teaching involves helps students decide whether they wish to and, indeed, ought to, continue with the training. It forms a basis for the subsequent pedagogical and subject-didactics training.
Content	Den Studierenden bietet das Einführungspraktikum einen Einblick in den Berufsalltag einer Lehrperson. Die Praktikumslehrperson legt Beobachtungs- und Reflexionsaufträge und die Themen der zu erteilenden Lektionen fest. Die schriftlich dokumentierten Ergebnisse der Arbeitsaufträge sind Bestandteil des Portfolios des/der Studierenden. Anlässlich der Hospitationen erläutert die Praktikumslehrperson ihre fachlichen, fachdidaktischen und pädagogischen Überlegungen, auf deren Basis sie den Unterricht geplant hat und tauscht sich mit der/dem Studierenden aus. Zu den Lektionen, die der/die Studierende selber hält, führt die Praktikumslehrperson Vor- und Nachbesprechungen durch.
Literature	Wird von der Praktikumslehrperson bestimmt.
402-0911-00L	Teaching Internship Physics	O	8 credits	17P	M. Mohr
Abstract	The teaching practice takes in 50 lessons: 30 are taught by the students, and the students sit in on 20 lessons. The teaching practice lasts 4-6 weeks. It gives students the opportunity to implement the contents of their specialist-subject, educational science and subject-didactics training in the classroom. Students also conduct work assignments in parallel to their teaching practice.
Learning objective	- Students use their specialist-subject, educational-science and subject-didactics training to draw up concepts for teaching. - They are able to assess the significance of tuition topics in their subject from different angles (including interdisciplinary angles) and impart these to their pupils. - They acquire the skills of the teaching trade. - They practise finding the balance between instruction and openness so that pupils can and, indeed, must make their own cognitive contribution. - They learn to assess pupils' work. - Together with the teacher in charge of their teacher training, the students constantly evaluate their own performance.
Content	Die Studierenden sammeln Erfahrungen in der Unterrichtsführung, der Auseinandersetzung mit Lernenden, der Klassenbetreuung und der Leistungsbeurteilung. Zu Beginn des Praktikums plant die Praktikumslehrperson gemeinsam mit dem/der Studierenden das Praktikum und die Arbeitsaufträge. Die schriftlich dokumentierten Ergebnisse der Arbeitsaufträge sind Bestandteil des Portfolios der Studierenden. Anlässlich der Hospitationen erläutert die Praktikumslehrperson ihre fachlichen, fachdidaktischen und pädagogischen Überlegungen, auf deren Basis sie den Unterricht geplant hat und tauscht sich mit dem/der Studierenden aus. Die von dem/der Studierenden gehaltenen Lektionen werden vor- und nachbesprochen. Die Praktikumslehrperson sorgt ausserdem dafür, dass der/die Studierende Einblick in den schulischen Alltag erhält und die vielfältigen Verpflichtungen einer Lehrperson kennen lernt.
Literature	Wird von der Praktikumslehrperson bestimmt.
