Short Description
The subject Values and Norms is offered as one of two subjects within the Master鈥檚 Teacher Training Course for Grammar Schools.
The subject Values and Norms is a secular alternative to denominational religious studies in Lower Saxony that students take as a combination of three related disciplines: at the Bachelor鈥檚 stage, emphasis is placed on Study of Religion; at the Master鈥檚 stage, students focus on Philosophy, in addition to compulsory elective courses from the field of Sociology. The interdisciplinary degree programme seeks to enable students to put individual orientations into social, religious/ideological and idea-historical contexts in the classroom, and to analyse these orientations critically.
Following on from the Interdisciplinary Bachelor鈥檚 Degree Programme, students on the Master鈥檚 Teacher Training Course continue studying the two subjects taken at the Bachelor鈥檚 stage. As such, students can take Values and Norms as their first or second subject. Students may also select Values and Norms as an additional subject within a supplementary programme leading to a certificate. The aim of the degree programme is for students to learn how subject-specific content can be taught in a neutral, up-to-date, vivid and interesting manner in Values and Norms lessons. As such, the degree programme contains elements of subject discipline, teaching methodology and education science. Students must also complete practical training.
Course Content
- Practical philosophy: ethics as well as political, social and legal philosophy
- Study of Religion
- Sociology and education science
- Teaching methodology and professional practice
- Theoretical philosophy: logic, epistemology and the philosophy of science
Course Structure
Taken as their first subject, students gain an overview of theoretical and practical philosophy, as well as completing supervised practical training and a reading course in classic philosophical texts. As a second subject, students additionally gain an introduction to foundations of practical philosophy, and take two Study of Religion seminars and a compulsory elective area from the field of sociology. Students also complete practical training at a school, accompanying the seminar. The degree programme concludes with a Master鈥檚 thesis.
