The subject commission for subject teaching at the Centre for Teacher Education - Didactic Centre was set up to advise, organise and coordinate the subject of subject teaching/interdisciplinary subject education between the subjects involved in the dual-subject Bachelor's degree programmes with the further objective of a Master of Education Grundschule and Hauptschule (specialising in primary school) and special education.

The subject committee is elected by the Teaching Council (RaLe) and constituted by the DiZ Vice Director of Teaching when at least half of the teaching staff and half of the students have been nominated. The Teaching Council (RaLe) assumes responsibility (see RaLe resolution of 11/09/2019).

Task/function

The subject commission for subject teaching advises the participating institutions (School I, Institute of Educational Sciences, Didactic Centre, institutes of the participating subjects) and prepares their decisions. The institutions can delegate certain tasks to the Subject Committee for independent decision-making and fulfilment.

The commission elects a Chair who represents the commission internally and externally.

The term of office of the subject commission for subject teaching is two years, that of the student members one year. The commission and its members continue to fulfil their duties after the end of their term of office until new elections are held.
