What is the degree program about?
Digital media help shape the socialization of adolescents. They can enrich teaching and learning processes as well as school organization and development in a meaningful way, but they can also hinder them. In view of the inevitability of media influences and the dynamics of technical development, an in-depth examination within the teacher training course is extremely topical and important.
The additional studies “General and subject-related education in the digital world” enables student teachers to focus on media education and thus to deal in depth with questions of education in a digital world. The certificate program forms a link between the basics of the teacher training course and extension subjects in media education and computer science.
