How do policies emerge? Which actors work together or against each other in the political process and how?
Based on these fundamental questions, the students systematically carried out local research projects in the teaching research, whereby they went through the entire research process in a self-determined manner under the guidance of the teacher.

How can students in the orientation year be better supported with e-learning methods and models?
Students in the seminar explored this question and learnt about fields such as international e-learning and distance learning research, theories of media-mediated learning and teaching and phases of the instructional design process.

In the two-semester conception of the project "Evaluation of a metacognitive training", only the thematic framework and a possible cooperation partner were given at the beginning (framework: evaluation of a group intervention). During the two-semester course, the students went through a complete research process for the most part independently and presented this orally and finally summarised it in writing in the form of a project report.

In this module, students are familiarised with methods of scientific work and work independently on a research project with mentoring support.
The topic is chosen from the field of economics. Possible thematic focuses are defined by the lecturers in the module and can, in principle, come from all subject areas represented in the Department of Business, Economics and Law.

The sustainability research workshop aims to discursively develop and problematise questions in the field of sustainable management and the associated research designs for dealing with these questions. In moderated workshop seminars with a high degree of student autonomy, intensive encounters take place between students and scientists at eye level within the framework of planned or ongoing research projects.

The module consists of two one-semester project courses and begins in the summer semester. Initially, the lecturers specify a (changing) framework topic from the field of management, organisation and personnel (e.g. co-operation and company networks, flexibilisation of working conditions, occupational health management). Topics from the chair's current research projects are also included. The individual topics within the framework question are then the subject of student participation.

After successfully completing the course, students should be able to describe enablers and actors of a digital transformation and apply these in the context of a model scenario. In addition, the key technologies used (e.g. cloud computing, mobile communication, IoT) are used to visualise concrete exploitation potential in the form of digital business models. The synthesis of the results will be achieved in the form of a scientific paper and evaluated qualitatively.

The supplementary exercise for Statistics II is an additional offer for students who are interested in deepening the knowledge acquired in the lecture by independently writing a seminar paper. The course also offers the opportunity to gain initial experience with scientific work.

The seminar will present the basic cornerstones of an overall concept of Economics Education and highlight the main differences in the design of the various concepts of Economics Education. In addition to dealing with conceptual approaches, the seminar will focus in particular on current fields of research and action in economic education, which will be examined in more detail by analysing the theory-practice relationship in economic education and prepared in terms of subject didactics.

The seminar "Menschen_Affen" is about the supposed border between humans and apes. Using (pop) cultural representations of the encounter between "humans" and "apes", changing relationships and relations will be analysed. The seminar is designed as an interdisciplinary project seminar, i.e. students develop and work on their own projects on the topic and the course is organised around these projects.

The aim of the seminar is to analyse the village as a source of early modern religious history and to present it to students. In the course of the seminar, participants will have the opportunity to focus either on the student labs as a didactic challenge or on the scientific work on the microhistory of the village of Neustadtgödens. Therefore, a co-operation with students, teachers and employees of the Oldenburg cultural administration and the castle museum in Jever is already planned during the seminar.

The Herrnhut denomination has been active in missionary work since the 1730s. The aim of the seminar is to trace the way in which the missionaries found their place in the various mission locations by perceiving and categorising their environment. The focus will be on surviving sources and artefacts of the missionaries, on the basis of which academic presentations will be developed. In addition to the content-related work, the lecture as a medium of scientific communication will take centre stage. The event is research-oriented and offers the opportunity to realise your own ideas and questions.

Where does science end and staging begin? Can a historian speculate? Should a museum guide dress up? Is a Playmobil Luther a history lesson? Do we learn from history when we transfer historical scenes in the theatre "into today" - and is it even "allowed"? This seminar focussed on reflecting on historical academic communication. To this end, the students carried out small research projects on the communication of history in museums, in reanactment, in art and in popular science.

The students developed a question and carried out a theologically reflected photo analysis of photos from the Africa photographs of the North German Mission. The methodological approach was developed together during the course of the seminar. A special focus was placed on suggestions from postcolonial research that are critical of power and racism.

After building up basic skills for the specialised field of "Control of a grid-connected variable-speed wind turbine with double-fed asynchronous generator", the students were familiarised with the experiment used. They were then asked to find and formulate their own research questions, which worked very well. The students then planned their experiment, carried it out independently and evaluated the data.

In this course, students analyse a physical model using computer simulations. Students have the option of either choosing a project that has already been prepared or designing their own with the support of the course instructor.

The aim of this programming course is not only to learn a programming language, but also to enable students to develop the most efficient algorithmic solution strategies for problems after in-depth analysis and finally to implement these in the computer. The skills acquired in the course are part of current research methods in mathematics and help students to understand subsequent, theoretically orientated modules by enabling them to deal with the course content in a practical and experimental way.

The aim of the module is to acquire knowledge and skills in the theoretical foundations of current research in the field of algebraic geometry and its applications.
