Preparatory Seminar for the School Internship Semester Teaching Supply Engineering

 

Content

The contents of the seminar are as follows …

• Methods for exploring occupational fields of action, business processes and typical tasks in the vocational field of supply engineering
• Development of research questions for exploratory projects, e.g. company-based, in order to understand the occupational fields of action in the vocational field of supply engineering
• Regulations of vocational education and training in the vocational field of supply engineering
• Analysis of the initial situation for a teaching project at the internship school, particularly from the perspective of the students and teachers in the supply engineering courses.
• Conception and planning of a teaching project for supply engineering
• Specification of learning areas as learning situations
• Planning of learning processes in supply engineering
• Selection of vocational learning methodologies for the teaching project

Objective

The seminar prepares pre-service teachers for the practical requirements of teaching vocational supply engineering, both academically and practically, in selected fields of action, by focusing on the following competences:

The pre-service teachers...

• describe occupational fields of action, business processes and typical vocational tasks for the vocational field of supply engineering and place them in the context of subjects and learning situations
• develop, implement and reflect on learning situations for the vocational field of supply engineering
• are able to apply concepts and theories of general didactics, general didactics of technology and didactics of the vocational field to supply engineering in a situation-oriented manner in the teaching project
• are are able to relate current discussions on objectives and content in vocational education to educational programs in the occupational field of supply engineering at vocational schools
• are able to select strategies for lesson planning in school courses in educational programs in supply engineering and substantiate them for a lesson project
• are able to select teaching methodology well-founded for differentiated instruction in supply engineering

Teaching and Learning Method

The aim of the seminar is to perceive the current challenges of teachers at a vocational school and to analyze these challenges against a theoretical background to be able to work out possible solutions for their future work as teachers.

Pre-service teachers have access to digital learning materials on theory and on challenges to be dealt with at vocational schools. Face-to-face sessions foster a critical discourse in the group about the theoretical approaches and deal with practical challenges to support knowledge and skill acquisition.
