Kurzbeschreibung
Computer Science is offered as a teaching subject (or supplementary teaching subject) within the bachelor's programme Technical Education. As first subject, a vocational subject must be studied. Please note the subject combination options.
In the teaching subject computer science, students develop both knowledge of the discipline and subject-specific teaching skills.
In the subject-specific area, apart from mathematical principles, students focus on computer systems, data structures, algorithms, programming, and IT security. Additionally they consider the general structure of digital systems and carry out an IT project.
The teaching methodology area is largely geared towards later activity as a teacher. After being introduced to necessary teaching methodology principles, students plan teaching units and draw up their first lesson plan. In a project which includes the subject-specific internship, they work in groups to plan a teaching unit, carry it out and reflect on their first teaching experiences.
Lehrinhalte
