The dovetailing of theory and practice has long played a prominent role in Oldenburg's teacher training programmes. Within the ^OLE+ project, these theory-practice links are being further developed on the basis of a university-wide concept for theory-practice links in the teaching degree programmes. One focus of these activities is the curricular anchoring of a practice-oriented teaching programme in so-called theory-practice rooms. Theory-practice rooms are typically places in which student teachers teach groups of pupils on the basis of lesson plans that they have developed in advance in university courses under the guidance of teachers and which are then critically reflected upon. Subject-specific technical equipment is available in the theory-practice rooms, which is continuously updated with regard to new focal points. In addition, in some theory-practice rooms, contact with the teaching behaviour of the future target group is also made possible by means of video vignettes. The focus of the videographed teaching sequences is on videos in which the main content of teacher training at the University of Oldenburg as well as typical problems of the respective subject teaching are addressed. In addition to promoting the professionalisation of students, the theory-practice rooms also serve the further training of school teachers and Oldenburg's research into teacher training.

Below you will find an overview of the theory-practice rooms ^{set up} or expanded as part of the first funding phase of the OLE+ project as well as links to the websites of individual rooms. In the second funding phase of the project, the practice-oriented teaching and training programme in the theory-practice rooms will be further expanded. One focus will be on promoting the skills of student teachers and school teachers in the field of digital education.
