Mentorierte Arbeit Fachdidaktik Elektrotechnik und Informationstechnologie
Last Updated: 2026-02-05 16:37:19
Abstract
By means of a suitable task, theoretical topics from the didactic training are linked with practice-relevant aspects in the mentored work and the results are presented in written form. Experienced teachers supervise the students in their tasks.
Objective
The students can: - plan a teaching sequence based on module descriptions or thematic specifications - present content, focus and methods as well as performance assessments based on aspects of didactic analysis and competence-oriented formulation of learning objectives in a scientific report - develop effective teaching in compliance with the specific requirements.
Content
The choice of the topic and the determination of the contents takes place in consultation between the students and the mentor. Possible topics are for example (not exhaustive list): - Development of a semester plan for a new teaching module at a university of applied science ("Fachhochschule") - Revision of existing content, considering technological or methodological developments - Designing eLearning elements for existing teaching - Development of a teaching unit with special learning methods (e.g. project-oriented, explorative, puzzle, ...).
Resources
Lecture Notes
The mentored work is based on the previous courses and learning materials of the didactic training.
