Exercitium Paedagogicum

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Exercitium Paedagogicum ( Latin : pedagogical exercise ) describes the training part of the teacher training course , which was previously carried out from 2004 to 2006 in a pilot project by the Bavarian Education Pact Foundation and the Bavarian State Ministry for Education and Culture in cooperation with the universities of Augsburg , Regensburg and Passau . The Exercitium Paedagogicum adopted by the Bavarian Ministry of Culture is binding and replaces the previously usual block internship. The recommendations of the study “Rethinking Education” by the Association of Bavarian Economy (VBW) were implemented in the pilot project .

target

At the Exercitium Paedagogicum , student teachers are used as teaching assistants in schools. This enables the student to deepen the theoretical knowledge they have learned through practical implementation. He also supports the teachers in their daily teaching work with his work.

construction

The Exercitium Paedagogicum is divided into two parts:

  • In the theoretical preparatory phase (1st and 2nd semester ) the students receive the necessary pedagogical basics in the subjects of general pedagogy , school pedagogy and psychology . The training is regulated in a binding core curriculum .
  • In the subsequent practical school phase (3rd and 4th semester), the student assists at a school with 250 teaching hours of his own choosing. As a teaching assistant, the student is entitled to supervise classes or study groups, to introduce and try out new concepts in the classroom, to design exercise units, to conduct their own lessons, to take on organizational tasks and to actively participate in the process of school development as a member of the school family , with overall responsibility for the teacher remains.

criticism

The Bavarian Teachers' Association (BLLV) generally welcomes the didactic approach of the Exercitium Paedagogicum with regard to the preparatory training of students, but criticized in the unanimous decision of the BLLV state board of May 11, 2005 that the model experiment had not been adequately evaluated . It makes it clear that the teaching assistants used are not a substitute for certified teachers and cannot lead to savings in teaching positions. In particular, in a petition to the Bavarian State Parliament in May 2005, he called for more intensive support for the approximately 6,000 teaching assistants by the sending universities, preparatory training for teachers working as mentors , and corresponding consideration of the additional work required by schools and supervising teachers, more Planning security for the schools concerned and a more precise specification of the hours during the internship (lessons, lesson preparation, etc.).
