Subject Matter
Educational Sciences forms part of the teacher training at the JGU: Teacher training usually includes two specialist subjects (teaching subjects), Educational Sciences as well as practical teaching experience in schools. It includes a two-tier qualification system. Assessment takes place using a credit points system based on the ECTS model. In the Bachelor's/Master's degree program, binding curricular standards apply across the various locations for teacher training in Rhineland-Palatinate. With the new model, the focus on teaching techniques has been increased and a stronger practical approach has already been incorporated into the course with several practical sessions in schools. The academic part of the course also aims to provide students with solid knowledge to enable theory-based verdicts to be reached and develop the ability to reflect on issues. Educational Sciences is taught as an interdisciplinary course with a social science approach. The Institute of Educational Science (school research/school pedagogy), the Institute of Psychology, and the Department of Sociology are all involved.
