Teacher training
Under shadowing in the teacher training is understood in Germany primarily instruction check, wherein a -conductor a the trainee organized instruction attending and this then discusses with the trainee, analyzed and optionally evaluated. The advice aspect should be in the foreground throughout.
The purpose of the internship is to enable the trainers of trainee teachers in their legal clerkship to get an idea of how the lessons are organized. Two types of class attendance are common, the counseling visits of the seminar leader and the group observations, in which all trainee teachers of the seminar take part. Usually there are two to three class visits per school semester. The main focus of the seminar leaders during the first visits is on the teacher personality, later on the didactic-methodical implementation of the lessons. The aim is to check whether the theoretical knowledge learned at the university is being put into practice. In the case of group visits, the group of participants is expanded accordingly (e.g. the entire specialist seminar). Written documented lesson plans are required for the analysis and discussion of such observations . In these, at least the learning objectives and process phases as well as the didactic and methodological decisions and their justifications are recorded in detailed drafts . Attending classes in the preparatory service are not necessarily graded (there are also exceptions in the examination regulations).
Observations are of course also conceivable in the form that trainees attend the course of the subject manager and this becomes the subject of analysis and discussion, as is understood in Austria under observation.
Observation criteria are used for analysis. These are for example
- Activation of the motivational potential
- The way learners can experience self-efficacy
- How learning strategies and metacognition are used and practiced
- Integration in life and employment relationships
- Modeling and stimulation for constructivist integration into the learner's own worldview
