wir731 - Design of teaching and learning settings in the field of business administration and economics (Complete module description)

Lecture: 2 SWS (28h)
Seminar: 2 SWS (28h)
Seminar: 2 SWS (28h)

Upon completion of the module, students will:
• know and assess digital media and their usage in vocational teaching and learning settings.
• develop teaching and learning arrangements using digital media. Students analyse these arrangements critically with regard to their application in vocational teaching and learning settings.
• plan, analyse and evaluate lessons.
• decide on an issue to be explored during their school-based practice and analyse the theoretical underpinnings of this issue.
• know and assess functions and methods of evaluation, performance measurement, and performance assessment in schools.

This module focuses on the development, design, analysis, and evaluation of vocational teaching and learning settings. The module consists of two seminars and one lecture. Current theories and developments in subject-specific pedagogy (didactics) concerning business administration and economics are applied. References are made to central concepts such as competence-orientation, learning in processes of action, and constructivist teaching approaches.

In the first course "Use and design of media in vocational education and training" in seminar form, digital media are analyzed, designed, tested and evaluated against the background of their use at the learning venues of vocational education and training. The second course "Problem-oriented analysis and planning of learning situations at vocational schools (preparation for the specialist internship)" in seminar form covers the didactic analysis, planning and reflection of lessons at vocational schools, the design of complex teaching-learning arrangements and the development of business didactic learning situations. Current challenges such as the integration of digital media in the classroom are addressed, as are the possibilities and limitations of internally differentiated teaching (keyword: inclusion). The third course "Diagnostics" in lecture form deals with the didactic functions, methodical implementation and instruments of evaluation. Challenges in the assessment of heterogeneous student groups and performance are discussed.

Students have to take part in the seminars actively to fulfil the requirements of the module wir731. This includes usually the regular participation in the sessions, the preparation and reworking of the content of each session (e.g. reading suggested literature, working on learning tasks), and giving presentations in different forms depending on the type of program. The criteria of an active participation are negotiated and defined at the beginning of the seminar.

The exam takes place at the beginning of the off-course period when students have successfully completed all three seminars of the module.

oral exam (approx. 15 minutes)
