Competence profile of graduates

Competence profile of programme graduates

The study workshop is primarily a place where training/education is provided for students on the “Early Childhood Education” programme. It is where you will acquire competences you need to assist children to learn the educational basics.  You become familiar with didactic materials, learn to critically assess them, try them out together with children and develop their concept further.

The study workshop is also a point of contact for educational specialists. Nursery and primary school teachers can borrow experimentation boxes free of charge and use them with the children on a day-to-day basis for a period of time.

The work with groups of children is usually integrated into the students’ projects, which comprise not only the testing of the existing materials but also the further development of the study workshop concept and the corresponding materials. Groups of children from day nurseries (KiTa) and primary schools can visit the study workshop by prior arrangement without necessarily being involved in the teaching.
