The bachelors program Prevocational Education with teacher training as a core subject is the first step towards acquiring the qualifications needed to teach Economy-Work-Technology (Wirtschaft-Arbeit-Technik, WAT) at Sekundarstufe I.
This degree program focuses on human labor, particularly gainful employment and domestic work. Students in this program are taught an integrated combination of technical content and pedagogical skills in the areas of economics, technology, and housework. The study subject prevocational education and the school subject economy-work-technology thus promote the development of everyday skills for life management and design. The curriculum places particular importance on action-oriented methods and training in prevocational teaching workshops. Technical knowledge targeted specifically at school teaching as well as further pedagogical and educational skills ensure schools remain the focus of the degree program. You will learn different concepts and strategies of learning, education, and schooling. During a six-week professional development internship at a school, you will gain initial teaching experience as well as explore pedagogical-didactic issues.
The degree program can be selected as a core subject and is supplemented with an additional subject at Freie Universitt Berlin or Humboldt-Universitt zu Berlin.
