Federal Working Group on Practical School Studies

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Federal Working Group on Practical School Studies (BaSS) is the German committee of experts for the conception, content and organizational design and quality development of practical school studies in university teacher training . It organizes those entrusted with the development of practical school studies (internship offices, internship offices, centers for teacher training, competence centers, ...) of the teaching universities and colleges in Germany.

The BaSS was brought into being in the 1970s after the teacher training colleges had been integrated into the universities in most federal states . It grew out of the need of the “internship representatives” on the one hand to inform themselves about the variety of existing practical school study elements, to exchange them and to make them usable for their own study location.

The BaSS is managed at the federal level by a board of directors. The federal spokesperson is currently Dr. Jutta Walke At the state level, the BaSS i. d. Usually represented by state representatives.

In order to achieve its goals, the BaSS uses the following means:

  1. The annual conferences focus on a current topic relating to the design of practical school studies. In addition to the members, external experts * take part as speakers and discussion partners as well as those interested in teacher training. The conferences take place in universities that change each year and usually last three and a half days.
  2. In the series of publications of the Federal Working Group on School Practical Studies, the most important conference results and research results relating to school internships are made accessible to the specialist public. The series has been published annually by the Leipzig University Press since 2006, the publisher was Manfred Rotermund until 2011, and Rainer Bolle has been publishing the series from 2012.
  3. The BaSS takes a position on the current central issues of teacher training and especially on practical school studies. The jointly developed statements are made available to the specialist public and can also be accessed online.
  4. Current topics are discussed in depth in temporary working groups. If necessary, external experts are also appointed. The work results are coordinated with all BaSS members; if necessary, they are summarized in a statement (see 3.).
