Primary school workshop in the mirror of the 50th anniversary of the University of Kassel

Presentation in the primary school workshop for the seminar in the summer semester 2021

An innovative place in teacher training
Since its foundation, the primary school workshop has been firmly anchored in teacher training in Kassel and has been able to establish itself as a special teaching/learning space. The primary school workshop has particular potential for the professionalization of future teachers due to its anchoring as a place of learning at a university, as scientific knowledge (theoretical, empirical, systematic) and practical (action) knowledge (materials and media studies, design of learning environments, observation and promotion of learning processes) can be linked or related to each other. The primary school workshop sees itself as a didactic laboratory in which the conditions and possibilities of learning are examined in relation to learning prerequisites, learning situations and personal and institutional framework conditions, among other things, and a connection between teaching and learning processes is established.

As part of the seminar, which will take place in the summer semester 2021, learning environments will be developed that make the special learning and working in the primary school workshop visible and reflect the significance for teacher training in the context of the university's 50th anniversary. Visits to the primary school workshop by children, parents, teachers and colleagues are planned.

The presentation of the results is expected to be on display from mid-September on Wednesdays from 14:00 to 17:00 in the rooms of the primary school workshop.
