Abstract

Objective

Students possess theoretical knowledge and practical competences to be able to cope with the psychosocial demands of teaching. (1) They know the basic rules of negotiation and conflict management (e.g., mediation) and can apply them in the school context (e.g., in conversations with parents). (2) They can apply diverse techniques of classroom management (e.g., prevention of disciplinary problems in the classroom) and know relevant authorities for further information (e.g., legal conditions; crisis intervention). (3) They know stress coping strategies to prevent burnout (e.g., psychosocial support) and are familiar with relevant institutions.

Content

Major themes: - counseling and counseling techniques - conflict management and mediation - classroom management - supporting students in a psychological crisis - preventing stress and burnout Forms of learning Theoretical foundations will be taught in workshops which contain different means of activation and interaction such as group work, panel discussions, and individual work.
