Information on the practical phase in subject teaching
On this page, we would like to provide you with general and subject-specific information about the GHR 300 in Sachunterricht.
GHR 300 is the collective term for the practical phase in the Master of Education (G/HR) consisting of preparation, support and follow-up of the practical block and the project volume. All these elements are described individually below.
Modules prx560, 561 and 562 belong to the practical phase, while the project tape is mapped in module prx566 or, for older semesters, in module prx565.
The practical phase and project band must always be completed as a unit. This means that you cannot take one of them independently of the other.
You can be admitted to the practical phase and the project band in two cases:
Case 1: You have already obtained your Bachelor's degree.
Case 2: You have been provisionally admitted to the Master of Education programme, but have not yet completed all outstanding examinations for the Bachelor's degree. It is strongly recommended that you submit all outstanding examinations by mid-December in order to avoid a clash with the upcoming 18-week school internship. If proof of the Bachelor's degree is not provided to the Admissions office by submitting a certificate by 1 April, you will be De-registrated from the Master of Education programme.
Please note that the Admissions office has binding information on this.
Internship registration and school assignment
The current registration times as well as information on registration, hardship provision etc. can be found on the pages of the DiZ.
As a general rule, you must register for participation in the practical block of GHR 300 within the applicable periods. Late registration is only possible for students changing universities.
You can find the assignment regions for the practical block HERE. Each year, the Ministry of Education and Cultural Affairs informs the universities of the practice schools that are available for the allocation of students. Students can specify two preferred districts when registering. The University of Oldenburg assigns students to the practice schools on this basis. The proviso here is that, if possible, you should not have to travel more than 70 minutes from Oldenburg main station.
Assignment is done centrally via the DiZ. The allocation procedure is completed by around mid-December each year. You will be informed of the allocation of places by email from the DiZ.

Preparatory events
Once you have successfully registered for the GHR 300, you will begin the preparatory sessions for your subjects in the winter semester. Below, we outline the specific details for general studies.
Even if you have successfully registered for the practical block, you must also register for the preparatory session! You can do this as normal via the registration system in Stud.IP.
The preparatory sessions for the subject of General Studies take place on Fridays. We are currently offering three preparatory sessions:
- Two seminars on Fridays from 10 am to 12 noon
- One seminar on Fridays from 2 pm to 4 pm
During the practical phase, the preparatory, accompanying and follow-up sessions are organised and delivered in a co-teaching arrangement by a university lecturer and a teaching assistant for the practical phase (LiP).
Practical block, support and follow-up
The practical block is offered annually and is part of the practical phase. It begins in February and ends shortly before the summer holidays. During the practical block, you should be at your placement school on three days a week (at least 15 hours per week). Individual arrangements can be made with the school regarding the distribution of hours. You will observe, teach and also take part in extracurricular activities (e.g. school festivals, conferences, working groups, etc.).
Accompanying courses must be taken at the university during the practical block, which, like the preparatory courses, are offered on Fridays. The accompanying courses do not take place weekly. The dates will be announced by the GHR 300 team of subject teaching in the courses.
During the practical block and the accompanying courses, you will be supervised in small groups by a LiP. The composition of the participants in these groups will mainly depend on the region of your placement school. During the practical block, you will also be visited by your LiP, usually twice, directly in class at the practical school and then receive counselling. As a rule, one of the visits is a tandem visit accompanied by a university teacher.
The dates for the follow-up event are also announced in the seminars. These usually take place before the summer holidays.
Project band
The project module is based on the guiding principle of research-based learning. The aim is to address specific questions arising from the school context, using appropriate research and evaluation methods. The project is carried out at the school in parallel with the practical placement. The project module begins at the start of each winter semester and runs for three semesters. Registration for the project module takes place via StudIP. You will undertake the project module in one of your teaching subjects or in educational sciences. A project module is offered annually in general studies.
Preparatory session
In the preparatory session for the project module in general studies, students develop initial research questions on current and relevant topics relating to subject didactics or school development with a focus on general studies. They acquire basic methodological knowledge and test this using case studies. By the end of the semester, students should be able to begin the practical block equipped with a fully formulated research question and methodological tools, so that they can carry out their research project during the practical block.
The preparatory module is offered as a block seminar during the winter semester.
Support and follow-up
During the practical block, the accompanying courses for the project module in General Studies also take place as a block seminar. In these courses, content-related and organisational issues, as well as any necessary methodological adjustments, are discussed within the group.
Finally, in the follow-up session during the winter semester following the practical block, students present their project results to the students of the next cohort.
Further information
We recommend that you first take a look at Annex 3b of the Master's examination regulations, which contains the regulations for the practical phase and the project volume. This is also available HERE on the DiZ website.
In principle, attendance is compulsory in the courses of the practical phase and the project volume.
If you have not fulfilled the qualitative and/or quantitative examination requirements, you will fail the practical phase and/or the project volume. Further information on this can also be found in Annex 3b of the MPO.
If you have any questions, please contact the relevant lecturer.
