Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Interdisciplinary and Problem-Based Teaching in "Psychology and Philosophy" and in "Ethics"

The interdisciplinary seminar on psychology and philosophy education aims at instructing teacher training students to develop problem-based forms of teaching psychology, philosophy and ethics by developing their assessment, planning and teaching skills. Participants reconsider the theoretical foundations and practical teaching components of psychology and philosophy education by using a series of lessons (e.g., happiness, justice, problem of misconception, altruism, aggression, etc.) as a model. In addition, they design two teaching units with a complete series of lessons for the subjects "psychology and philosophy" and or "ethics".

Objectives:
• Analysing and reflecting on the aims of psychology, ethics and philosophy teaching (approaches in psychology and philosophy education, concept of psychological and philosophical literacy, psychological and philosophical skills)
• Designing and reflecting on problem-based teaching of psychology and philosophy or ethics in the classroom (units and interdisciplinary series of lessons)
• Analysing and developing skill-based forms of assessment

Contents
• Philosophy and ethics and philosophy education (basic understanding and fundamental positions of philosophy, basic philosophical questions and problems)
• Psychology and psychology education (common sense and academic psychology, basic psychological questions and problems, approaches of introductory psychology)
• Skill-based teaching and psychological and philosophical literacy (competency requirements and the philosophy education process)
• Working and teaching methods in the psychology and philosophy classroom context
• Analysis of a problem-based series of lessons (teaching sequences and core questions)
• Planning a series of lessons (educational situation, skill-based teaching goals, selection of teaching content, media, teaching approach)
• Methods of students learning assessment (oral examination, written paper, alternative forms of assessment)
• Analysis and design of skill-based assignments on the oral exam (requirements and topical coherence)
