They are able to analyse and reflect teaching and learning processes of individual teaching units and develop alternative action possibilities.
The graduates of this module possess a repertoire of methods for preparing modern chemistry lessons. The choice of methods is also made against the background of competence development as well as in consideration of aspects of differentiation and individualization in heterogeneous learning groups. They know common models, plan their targeted use and recognize and teach their limits. They are able to use topic-related specialist media in the classroom in a targeted way.
