First School Placement
The first school placement in Bachelor's program in Teacher Education is intended for the second semester of the Bachelor's program. As part of a three-week placement at a general secondary school or vocational school and an accompanying university course in seminar form (preparation/follow-up), the focus is on fundamental questions of career orientation.
The internship offers you the opportunity to review your choice of studies and career. In the accompanying university course, we look at your study and career choice motives, the characteristics of the teaching profession and the features of good teaching.
The university course accompanying the placement is designed, organized, carried out and evaluated by the Chair of Educational Psychology in cooperation with the Centre for Teacher Training and Educational Innovation (ZLBI).
