Abstract | Teaching is a complex skill. The lecture comprises (a) presentations about the theoretical background of this skill, (b) discussions of practical aspects, and (c) practical exercises. | |||||
Learning objective | The participants have the conceptual und procedural knowledge, and skills necessary for long-term planning, preparing, and implementing good lessons. They can apply this knowledge on different topics of their scientific STEM-background. | |||||
Content | We discuss characteristics of successful lessons and how to design such lessons by using curricula and lesson plans, teaching goals and a variety of teaching methods. | |||||
Lecture notes | The lecture comprises interactive parts where the participants elaborate and extend their knowledge and skills. Thus, there is no comprehensive written documentation of the lecture. The participants can download presentation slides, learning materials, and templates from "Moodle". | |||||
Literature | The necessary literature can be downloaded from "Moodle". | |||||
Prerequisites / Notice | The lecture EW2 can only be attended by students who already successfully completed the lecture Human Learning (EW1). There will be two independent lectures for different groups of students. You will get further information in an email at the beginning of the semester. To get the Credits you have to - regularly attend to the lecture - have the grade 4 or higher in the final written exam. | |||||

Greutmann, J. Maue | |
Abstract | In this lecture, you design a portfolio, i.e. a complete and elaborated teaching enviroment for schools, based on your scientific STEM-background | |||||
Learning objective | This lecture is an implementation and transfer of the theoretical inputs provided by the lecture "Designing Learning Environments for School" (EW2). | |||||
851-0242-11L | Gender Issues In Education and STEM Number of participants limited to 20. Enrolment only possible with matriculation in Teaching Diploma or Teaching Certificate (excluding Teaching Diploma Sport). Prerequisite: students should be taking the course 851-0240-00L Human Learning (EW1) in parallel, or to have successfully completed it. | W | 2 credits | 2S | M. Berkowitz Biran, C. M. Thurn | |
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 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. | |||||
851-0242-08L | Research Methods in Educational Science Number of participants limited to 30. This course unit can only be enroled after successful participation in, or imultaneous enrolment in the course 851-0240-00L "Human Learning (EW 1)" . | W | 1 credit | 1S | P. Edelsbrunner, T. Braas, Z. Lue, C. M. Thurn | |
Abstract | Literature from learning sciences will be read and discussed. Research methods will be in focus. At the first meeting all participants will be allocated to working groups and two further meetings will be set up with the groups. In the small groups students will write critical short essays about the read literature. The essays will be presented and discussed in the plenum at the third meeting. | |||||
Learning objective | - Understand research methods used in the empirical educational sciences - Understand and critically examine information from scientific journals and media - Understand pedagogically relevant findings from the empirical educational sciences | |||||
