During the accompanying seminar of the practice semester students prepare their own teaching lessons, which they hold at real schools under scientific points of view. Afterwards those teaching attempts are being evaluated and critically discussed under scientific measures as well.Students develop theoretical and practical competencies in planning, implementation and evaluation of holding lessons in Chemistry in front of pupils. The following topics are part of the seminar:
- Safety in chemistry class (Experimenting, Regulations regarding hazardous substances, Accident protection)
- Observation of real classes
- Experiments as means to gain knowledge
- Organisation of independent experimenting of pupils
- Learning objective for chemistry class
- Learning strategies based on the "chemical language" and chemical calculating
- Performance review in chemistry class
- Internal differentiation
The practice semester can also take place at a German school abroad. Please find further information hereExternal link.
