history
Bremen teacher seminars
Since 1810 there have been teacher seminars in Bremen, as in many other German states , which served to train teachers in elementary schools and elementary schools .
After the dissolution of the teachers' seminars from 1922 to 1926, training took place at universities or colleges outside of Bremen. After the Second World War there was a lack of teachers in all schools. Instead of a teachers' seminar, a pedagogical seminar was temporarily set up in December 1945 under the direction of Klaus Böttcher in the school on Vegesacker Strasse , which existed until 1949. Teacher training took place here in two to three semesters.
Bremen University of Education
After the war there was a need to found a teacher training college in Bremen in order to replace the provisional educational seminar with a “normal training”. In the summer of 1947, the newly founded University of Teacher Education Bremen (PH) started operations at the school on Vegesacker Strasse in Bremen- Walle . Shortly thereafter, in 1947, she was able to begin provisional teaching at the former Lyceum des Westens , Lange Reihe No. 81 in Walle. From 1947 to 1950 the mathematician and physicist Grete Hermann was the head of the school, who then taught as a professor of physics and philosophy from 1950 to 1966. In 1949 there were 150 students at the PH who were taught by 12 teachers. The first construction of the PH in the buildings on the Lange Reihe was completed by 1950. A sample school with primary school classes was set up here in 1950 and existed until 1963. Hinrich Wulff , a teacher at the PH since 1949, took over the management of the PH on April 8, 1950 and was appointed professor in 1954.
The course has lasted six semesters since 1950. It became clear that the general and subject pedagogical training at the PH was an improvement over the subject-specific qualification. Initially, preliminary courses were offered until 1949, in which the students observed in elementary schools. Afterwards, in addition to the pedagogical , psychological and technical training, there was also school attendance by practice groups. Since 1947, various models of the course of study have been developed in which the elective courses already played an important role.
In the period that followed, the number of students and professors increased significantly: in 1960 there were around 500 students at the PH and in 1966 850 prospective teachers studied here. The number of university lecturers was 18 in 1960 and rose to 44 in 1966.
In 1960 the psychologist Fritz Stemme took over the management of the PH, which had to be expanded in 1962 by an extension. In the 1960s, a contentious discussion began about a more scientifical approach to pedagogical training. The conflicts led to a change in the university management and Job-Günter Klink , professor of education since 1963, became head of the PH in 1966. With him, the concept of scientific orientation prevailed.
Klink took part in the discussion about teacher training, which was very intense in Bremen when the University of Bremen was founded. He was a member of the founding committee of the university. He was in favor of a complete integration of the PH in the university and aimed at the establishment of a pedagogical faculty . He did not succeed in providing pedagogy in the new university with the organizational framework he was striving for.
Integration into the University of Bremen
From 1971 to 1973, the college of education was integrated into the University of Bremen. The pedagogues were integrated into study area 6: social pedagogy, diploma pedagogy, additional educational qualifications and sport . The area of teacher training, which initially comprised more than half of the university's teaching operations, was coordinated by a central teacher training committee . The university professors, students and staff, on the other hand, were represented inconsistently in the different specialist sections such as 1 - literature and art , 2 - linguistics , 3 - psychology and socialization or 4 - politics, sociology, history . The university currently has Faculty 12: Educational Sciences .
