Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This seminar aims at discussing methodological and didactical aspects of teaching ethics at AHS and BHS. The crucial question is the following: can morality be taught and learned? The topics chosen correspond with the Austrian curriculum, and help students to get ready for their teaching assignments in the future. The seminar also offers information on various topics related to teaching, such as the new Matura.

Students are supposed to attend and reflect upon one of the talks on didactics in philosophy, organized by the department.

Assessment and permitted materials

Regular seminar attendance (at least 80 %) and class participation; one presentation; one seminar paper (roughly ten pages). The paper is supposed to document the student’s engagement with one of the topics of the seminar and his/her learning process

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

The students learn in teams how to prepare, try out and reflect upon lessons, thus giving them a hint what can be done when teaching ethics. The seminar aims at cultivating central competences and skills such as critical reflection, using philosophical terminology, or debating skills.
