Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
The lecture Foundations of Inclusive Pedagogy aims to familiarize students with an inclusive pedagogical mindset through fundamental concepts and selected theoretical approaches. The focus lies on inclusive educational fields of practice across the entire lifespan. The course seeks to enable students to understand inclusion both as a relational phenomenon and as a transformative practice at the individual as well as the collective-systemic level.The lecture situates inclusive pedagogy within current discourses and debates on global societal challenges amid affectively charged, polycrisis phenomena of the Anthropocene. As an introduction, it addresses debates on diversity, “wokeness,” and identity politics, which are often conducted in instrumentally polarized ways. Inclusion is considered not only as a social or educational policy task, but as a broader societal challenge—serving as a key site of contestation around belonging, power, and future-making in an inevitably plural world. Against this backdrop, recent contributions from inclusion research will be discussed. A detailed semester schedule, including an overview of sessions and a reading list, will be provided in the first class.
Assessment and permitted materials
Written exam at the end of the course. During the semester, there will be opportunities to earn additional points for the exam through voluntary partial assignments.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
In order to pass the exam, at least 61 out of 100 possible points must be achieved. The exam will consist of two parts: a multiple-choice section and a qualitative section. In the qualitative section, students will need to relate practical vignettes to theoretical content as well as derive practical and action strategies.
The grading scale is as follows:
Excellent: 90% – 100%
Good: 80% – 89%
Satisfactory: 70% – 79%
Sufficient: 60% – 69%
Insufficient / Fail: 0% – 59%
