The teacher training programmes are aimed at prospective students who wish to become teachers, i.e. people who enjoy working with school pupils, who want to convey complex content confidently, motivate them and accompany them in their learning.
Bachelor's students on the chemistry teaching degree programmes acquire solid specialist knowledge in the core chemical subjects of inorganic, organic and physical chemistry, which not only covers the content to be taught at the relevant school level, but is also thematically broader in scope. Students are familiarised with the subject-specific systematics and learn to understand, evaluate and present chemical facts in various contexts. In chemical laboratory practicals, they learn to work practically and handle chemicals safely. They are taught basic knowledge of safety and environmental issues. They also learn the essential working methods of chemistry.
The specialist training programme is supplemented by chemistry didactics courses, which focus on subject-specific challenges and learning barriers as well as didactic teaching principles and concepts. The scientific cognitive process plays a central role here.
The bachelor course is followed by a four-semester Master of Education with an integrated practical semester, which is a prerequisite for the teaching profession. The Master's degree programme is followed by preparatory service (German 'Referendariat').
