Orientation and Goals
Students who intend to become teachers at the primary level may undertake the bachelor's programme in General Education/General Studies followed by a Master of Education in general studies.
The most important aspect of General Education is that it qualifies students for the targeted teaching of learning material from the broad spectrum of general studies, particularly to younger people and people with special needs. This programme focuses primarily on the selection of content, methodical presentation, consideration of didactical meaningfulness, diagnostic skills relating to early education, and teaching and learning based on learning theory. It covers not only basic teaching skills, but also examples taken from the content of the various subject areas, as well as interdisciplinary problems.
