Project Band
As part of the project volume, a research project with a school-related focus is carried out in one of the two teaching subjects (subject didactics or subject science) or in Education Science. This offers the opportunity to take up a specific question as an example and to work on it independently using suitable research and evaluation methods. On the one hand, a research cycle is run through (question, choice of method, processing, evaluation), on the other hand, the work remains closely linked to the practical field through the connection to the practical phase.
The research project is prepared, carried out or accompanied and followed up in a module on the project volume. As a rule, students implement their research project during the practical block course. The school and university supervisors serve as contact persons. An appropriate presentation of the results is planned as part of the follow-up work.
Three different forms of research-based learning are offered at Osnabrück University, which differ in particular with regard to the focus of the qualification objective:
- Action research aims in particular to develop professional reflective competence. Students develop their own research questions that represent what they are concerned with when they observe a school class and work in a professional field. This promotes reflective thinking and action.
- The aim of school development research is to acquire basic evaluation skills. Students work on questions arising from their placement school and are thus prepared to carry out self-evaluations.
- In subject-specific research, the focus is on developing academic research skills. By working on typical school and teaching research topics for this subject, students are given the opportunity to practice an academic habitus.
Not every subject offers all three forms of the project volume. However, every teaching subject and Education Science offers at least one module on one of the three variants of the project band, starting each winter semester. Which form or forms of the project band a subject can and wants to offer is decided by the subject itself, as this decision is essentially dependent on internal subject conditions.
