AbstractThis course looks into scientific theories and also empirical
studies on human learning and relates them to the school.
Learning objectiveAnyone wishing to be a successful teacher must first of all understand the learning process. 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.
ContentThematische Schwerpunkte:
Lernen als Verhaltensänderung und als Informationsverarbeitung; Das menschliche Gedächtnis unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der Verarbeitung symbolischer Information; Lernen als Wissenskonstruktion und Kompetenzerwerb unter besonderer Berücksichtigung des Wissenstransfers; Lernen durch Instruktion und Erklärungen; Die Rolle von Emotion und Motivation beim Lernen; Interindividuelle Unterschiede in der Lernfähigkeit und ihre Ursachen: Intelligenztheorien, Geschlechtsunterschiede beim Lernen

Lernformen:
Theorien und wissenschaftliche Konstrukte werden zusammen mit ausgewählten wissenschaftlichen Untersuchungen in Form einer Vorlesung präsentiert. Die Studierenden vertiefen nach jeder Stunde die Inhalte durch die Bearbeitung von Aufträgen in einem elektronischen Lerntagebuch. Über die Bedeutung des Gelernten für den Schulalltag soll reflektiert werden. Ausgewählte Tagebucheinträge werden zu Beginn jeder Vorlesung thematisiert.

AbstractThis seminar focuses on teaching units in chemistry, physics and mathematics that have been developed at the MINT Learning Center of the ETH Zurich. In the first meeting, the mission of the MINT Learning Center will be communicated. Furthermore, in groups of two, the students will intensively work on, refine and optimize a teaching unit following a goal set in advance.
Learning objective- Get to know cognitively activating instructions in MINT subjects
- Get information about recent literature on learning and instruction
Prerequisites / NoticeFür eine reibungslose Semesterplanung wird um frühe Anmeldung und persönliches Erscheinen zum ersten Lehrveranstaltungstermin ersucht.

AbstractLiterature from the learning sciences is critically discussed with a focus on research methods.
At the first meeting, working groups will be assembled and meetings with those will be set up.
In the small groups students will write critical essays about the read literature. At the third meeting, we will discuss the essays and develop research questions in group work.
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

AbstractIn this class, students will learn concepts and skills for coping with psychosocial demands of teaching
Learning objectiveStudents possess theoretical knowledge and practical competences to be able to cope with the psychosocial demands of teaching.

(1) They know relevant rules of conversation and conflict management and are able to apply them in an appropriate way in the school context (e.g. in parental talks).
(2) They know core aspects of classroom management and know how to apply it concretely (e.g. promoting a positive learning atmosphere, avoiding disciplinary difficulties) and they are aware of possible contacts (e.g. llegal or psychological services).

AbstractCourse promotes exchange between student teachers and elementary school teachers in STEM teaching with 3 parts: 1) block seminar (ca. 20 h), 2) collaboration with elementary school teacher in a class (ca. 30 h, with approx. 50% spent in the elementary or middle school class and ca. 50% for preparation), and 3) final report (ca. 10 h). Registration implies participation in all 3 parts.
Learning objectiveDeepening the understanding of knowledge formation and learning processes of primary and secondary students from a cognitive and developmental psychology perspective for students. The assistant ship provides didactic experience and exposure to a different school level (more heterogeneous groups such as for example low-performing to very high-performing Children, language problems etc.)
ContentStudents learn more about potentials and deficits of students. They get to know better the early stages of knowledge as well as the formation of misconceptions of students in their subject area. The seminar with assistant-ship includes three phases: In the block seminar misconceptions in the own subject as well as theoretical inputs from developmental and cognitive psychology are discussed. During the assistant ship, a teaching task defined by the primary and secondary teachers is actively taken on in a class. At the end there is the writing of a final report, which includes the description of the knowledge level of the students. This seminar is only suitable for students who can flexibly adapt to the needs of students from lower grades.
