Civic and History Teachers‘ Education in Europe.
Modules for the Development of Democratic Competences and Social Responsibility of Teacher Trainees
Teacher Education on the CHE subjects ( Ctizenship Education, Social Studies, Cultural Studies, History) are in need to improve in both structure and content with the aim of preparing young people for a future-oriented, upcoming and diverse Europe. The overarching goal was to gain experience in how best to compare these topics between two or more European countries, how to elaborate on the differences between the historical narratives, and how to implement them into CHE-Teacher Education courses.
A pool of materials and tools provided is ready to be used in the different institutions of CHE-Teacher Education in Europe and beyond. Such materials include contextualised sources, plannings for CHE-Teacher Education units, didactical concepts and theoretical approaches and a digital tool for planning CHE-teaching units and a template for contextualising historical sources in a transnational way.
Supporting Academics to Become INTERNATIONAL EDUCATORS through Professional Learning Communities
The project aims to enhance the excellence of teaching and learning at Higher Education Institutions by supporting and training academics to upskill and innovate their pedagogies to address the needs of
students, to create inclusive international classrooms, and to embrace a new complex role as International Educators who are prepared to equip all students with global competencies and harness the diversity in their classroom.
Lehramt Deutsch-Polnisch binational / Polonistycznogermanistyczne wspólne studia nauczycielskie
Polish-German Studies Joint Teacher Studies is a double diploma program run by the University of Greifswald and the University of Szczecin The study program is joint and takes place proportionally in Greifswald and Szczecin The program covers three subjects: Polish studies, German studies and pedagogical sciences and lasts a total of 10 semesters
Cross-border mobility, bilingualism and intercultural competences play a decisive role in the study program, almost half of which is carried out at the partner university Graduates of the program receive the following degrees: the first state examination on the German side and a master’s degree on the Polish side. Moreover, after the 6th semester they receive a bachelor’s degree. This opens the door to the teaching profession in both countries They can therefore teach both languages in Germany in junior high schools and regional schools and in Poland in primary schools (grades 4-8) and secondary schools both as a mother tongue and a foreign language.
