103213 VO Fundamentals of educational professionalism
summer semester 2021 | Last update: 06.04.2021 | Place course on memo listKnowledge and understanding: students recall basic reference theories of educational professionalism. These include theories of the family, socialization, and education. Fundamental fields of action and their intervention goals (educational, therapeutic, rehabilitative) are known to them, as well as fundamental challenges of professionalized activities (closeness and distance, acceptance of responsibility, limitation).
Application of knowledge and understanding: Students can apply their theoretical knowledge to cases - an indispensable prerequisite for any pedagogically professionalized activity.
Verdict: Students can distinguish fundamentally professionalized from non-professionalized work. Against the background of the challenges mentioned, you can consider whether professionalized work could represent a possible future employment for you.
Communication: Students are practiced fundamentally in the skills necessary for professionalized activities to discuss cases with colleagues ("case studies").
Long-term knowledge: Students have a basic idea of the special logic of professionalized work and what they need in terms of social requirements (universities, democracy, etc.), that professionalized work is a central component of modernity. They know that the process of professionalization is a dynamic process; they get to know strategies of reflexive and self-critical handling of a task in the context of lifelong learning, they have heard of support systems.
The focus of the lecture is the question of what professionalized pedagogical activities are and what requirements they have. On the one hand, it will be about seeing their characteristics. On the other hand, it is also about delimitations: what are actually not professionalized activities, even if they are pedagogical activities? Professionalized pedagogical activities will not only be conceptually thematic, but also a bit of professionalized work will be experienced in the lecture by tracing them (applying theories to cases and discussing cases).
