history

The University of Education Karlsruhe is one of six educational science universities in Baden-Württemberg . It goes back to the teachers' seminar in Karlsruhe, which was the first state training facility for teachers in Baden . The teachers' seminar was opened on November 4, 1768 for school candidates from 1757 under the name Schulseminar. The prospective teachers had to be of Protestant denomination. From 1823 to 1830 the teachers' seminar was located at Markgrafenstraße 48, from 1830 to 1870 in a building on the corner of Akademie- and Hans-Thoma-Straße not far from the Botanical Garden and since 1870 in Bismarckstraße 10. The continuing strong interest in the teaching profession required in 1875 the opening of a second, almost identical teacher’s seminar at Rüppurrer Straße 29, which was set up for prospective teachers of the Catholic denomination. In addition, from 1878 onwards there was the first state teachers' seminar at Sophienstrasse 31/33 near Karlstor Baden. In 1926 all three seminars opened up in the new Karlsruhe Teachers' Training College (1926–1936 and 1942–1952), from which the Karlsruhe University of Education developed in several stages (1936–1942: College for Teacher Training , 1952–1962: Pedagogical Institute). The university has existed in a restructured form since May 29, 1962 as a pedagogical university. In 1971, the law governing the legal status of teacher training colleges made it a scientific university. It is on an equal footing with the universities and has had unrestricted doctoral degrees since 1987 and habilitation rights since 2005 . The national and international correspondence is also officially conducted under the name 'University of Education' or 'École Supérieure de Pédagogie'.

Mission statement

The Karlsruhe University of Education divides its mission statement into the following seven points:

Assuming responsibility, researching in and across disciplines, reflecting theory and practice in harmony, individualizing the teaching-learning culture, ensuring cosmopolitanism and future orientation, optimizing quality and transparency, doing justice to individual life situations.

Thematic focus

Three pillars of inhalation characterize the profile of the PH Karlsruhe: The focus on the so-called MINT subjects , the focus on multilingualism or bilingual teaching and learning as well as dealing with heterogeneity and inequality within the framework of educational equity.

Furthermore, the topics of digital education and professionalization are relevant across faculties and anchored in research and teaching.

Projects within this profile include a. Mint²KA or LemaS (performance goes to school). The former is a cooperation between the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and the Karlsruhe University of Education and aims to improve the "quality of teacher training in the subjects of mathematics, computer science, natural sciences and technology" . The latter is a project funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) with 18 million euros, consisting of a research network with 15 universities and coordinated by the Karlsruhe University of Education. The goal is the scientific monitoring and optimization of schools in the school and teaching development .

Education

The Karlsruhe University of Education offers bachelor's and master's degree courses : both teacher training courses (elementary school or secondary level I) and non-teacher training courses (see below). In addition, since 1999, students have been able to choose the European teaching degree as a special profile within the teaching profession.

In the non-teaching profession-related area, the university offers bachelor's and master's degrees in the fields of early childhood education, intercultural education, educational sciences, environmental education, health education, cultural mediation and geragogy (part-time).

In the area of ​​continuing education, certificate studies (CAS) and part-time master’s degrees are available in the areas of DAF / DAZ, adult education and geragogy, among others.
