Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Please note: This course is held in both English and German languages. Language spoken during the seminar sessions is based on the literature we read. Assignments can be handed in in both languages. Participants should be able to communicate in both languages.

In terms of content, the introductory seminar is, on the one hand, an introduction to the topic of school theory. After a few basic aspects, the discussion around two topic areas becomes possible: 1. Power and schools and 2. Pedagogical interactions. On the other hand, the aspect of scientific work is the focus. Based on the broad topic of school theory and school criticism, students should develop a theory-driven research question based on their own research interests, which they will work on over the course of the semester and present in an interactive presentation and a pro-seminar thesis. The general aim of the introductory seminar is to enable students to engage in theoretical debate in the field of school theory and school criticism and, based on this, to enable research-based learning. Theoretical aspects should always be brought into connection with one's own experiences and subjective concepts of school.

Methodologically, the introductory seminar works with preparatory reading, keeping a literary journal for personal reflection on reading experiences, discussions in the units on literature based on different methods (marketplace, ball bearings, fish bowl, etc.) as well as theatrical approaches. In addition, short inputs from the LV management as well as opportunities for peer exchange and feedback are offered. The focus is also on the implementation of a small, theory-driven research project.

The students...
• ...reflect on their own school career based on different theoretical perspectives.
• ...expand their knowledge of theories on the subject of school as well as educational theory formation.
• ...expand their ability to judge and criticize.
• ...expand their skills in scientific work, especially in developing a theory-driven research question and processing it as well as the written and oral presentation of results.

Assessment and permitted materials

• Literary journal (4% per entry, 20% total): In preparation for six units, students keep a literary journal in which they record their experiences reading the material.

• Task 1 'Question' (15%): In this task, a scientific question should be developed that can be addressed in the course of an educational work on the topic of 'school theory and school criticism'. The choice of question should be justified and at least five sources relevant to the question should be correctly cited. At least two of these sources should be journal articles.
Assessment: The research question is clearly and unambiguously formulated (4%). The choice of research question is conclusively justified (4%). The literature mentioned is useful in view of the research question. This is scientific literature (4%). Formal criteria are adhered to (scientific quality: no plagiarism, no AI, institute citation rules, spelling, grammar) (3%).

• Task 2 'Introduction, table of contents and first chapter' (10%): The students expand 'Task 1' on the question into an introduction for the introductory seminar paper. The feedback on task 1 should be taken into account. In addition, a (provisional) table of contents should be submitted and one of the chapters should be developed.
Assessment: The introduction is written in a comprehensible manner and the question is coherently derived (3%). The table of contents is clearly formulated and concise (3%). The first chapter is appropriate in terms of the question and is comprehensibly written/conclusively argued (4%).

• Task 3 'Presentation' (20%): The students should present their research question and the derivation of it and present initial results in a 15-minute presentation with media support (of whatever form).
The presentations are held in small groups. The other students should be involved in this presentation at least once through an interactive element.
Assessment (mutual and consensual assessment by the students): Contents of the presentation are coherent and comprehensible (10%), participants are integrated interactively (5%), media support is used sensibly (5%).

• Essay (35%): The pro-seminar work/essay represents an independent scientific discussion of one's own question (task 1), which already integrates an introduction, table of contents and a chapter from task 2. In addition, there is the complete elaboration of the other chapters, including the conclusion and bibliography.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

In principle, participation on all specified dates is mandatory (exception: illness, exams).
The course has 5 ECTS: This corresponds to a workload of 125 hours. Around 20 hours of this are covered by the presence in the units. The remaining hours are distributed between completing the tasks, implementing the research work as part of the introductory seminar and reading the basic literature. All partial achievements must be submitted on time in order to successfully complete the course.

Literature is read in German and English, units are taught alternately in German and English - depending on the language of the underlying basic literature, submissions can be made in either German or English.

The total number of percentage points gives the overall grade for the introductory seminar. This is as follows: under 60% Nicht Genügend, 60% to 69.9% Genügend, 70% to 79.9% Befriedigend, 80% to 89.9% Gut, from 90% Sehr Gut.
