Students of the bachelors program in Teacher Education: Mathematics study Mathematics, a second equally-weighted subject, Education Sciences and Teaching Methodology.
Modules in Mathematics give you an insight into the subject and the fields in which it is used: Where is math used in our daily lives? Which jobs need math skills? In the first semester, you attend modules on basic mathematical principles, such as analysis and linear algebra. You then develop this knowledge later in the program.
You address the following questions in modules on Teaching Methodology: Which methods can I use to teach pupils about a subject and to develop their skills? Which challenges come with teaching multicultural and multilingual groups?
Classes on Education Sciences cover the basic scientific principles behind teaching and learning, and are complemented by the practical experiences gained during the first school placement (Orientierungspraktikum).
