The subject of this lecture are the basic principles of teaching chemistry at the high school level. The main topics as for instance acid/base reactions, chemical equlibrium and so forth are covered.

During the introductory teaching practice, the students sit in on five lessons given by the teacher responsible for their teaching practice, and teach five lessons themselves. The students are given observation and reflection assignments by the teacher responsible for their teaching practice.

Implementing findings from research into teaching and learning for chemistry lessons and coverage of subject-specific teaching and learning specialities.

Introduction to Teaching Chemistry at High School Level

The teaching practice takes in 50 lessons: 30 are taught by the students, and the students sit in on 20 lessons. The teaching practice lasts 4-6 weeks. It gives students the opportunity to implement the contents of their specialist-subject, educational science and subject-didactics training in the classroom. Students also conduct work assignments in parallel to their teaching practice.

Students apply the insights, abilities and skills they have acquired within the context of an educational institution. They observe 10 lessons and teach 20 lessons independently. Two of them are as assessed as Examination Lessons.

In the final phase of their training, students have to apply and test the insights, abilities and skills they have acquired. They spend 3-5 weeks in an educational institution, during which time they observe 10 lessons and teach 30 lessons independently. The Teaching Internship is complemented by 10 further observed lessons, which are integrated into the Mentored Work in Subject Didactics.

This is a supplement to the Teaching Internship required to obtain a Master of Advanced Studies in Secondary and Higher Education in the corresponding subject. It is aimed at enlarging the already acquired teaching experience. Students observe 10 lessons and teach 15 lessons independently.
