Annotation

In addition to the subject-specific scientific and didactic basics in biology, chemistry and physics, interdisciplinary and application-related contents are the main focus of the degree course. The integrated approach provides solid preparation for the interdisciplinary subject areas in the middle school curricula. The reference to action is reflected in the preparation, execution and evaluation of experiments, the work with models as well as other subject- and student-appropriate methods. In addition, it is possible to gain experience in scientific teaching work with pupils in the learning laboratory during the course of studies, as well as to acquire competences in support diagnostics.
