Kurzbeschreibung
Colour Technology and Interior Decoration is offered as a vocational subject within the bachelor''s programme Technical Education. In addition, a second teaching subject must be studied. Please note the subject combination options.
The part of the course involving Colour Technology and Interior Decoration is worth 92 credit points in the Bachelor’s Teacher Training Course for Technical Education (180 CP).
With regard to specialist content, the degree programme primarily focuses on craft occupations in the field of colour technology and interior decoration, spanning a wide range of occupations centring around that of painter and varnisher, as well as occupations such as interior decorator, and sign and light advertising display maker. Study elements from degree programmes in Architecture and Civil Engineering create the joint foundation on which students expand in content related to materials, physico-chemical foundations and the production processes involved in the aforementioned occupations. Well-equipped workshops and laboratories are available for students to conduct intense experimental work on chemical and physical foundations, materials testing and coating technology investigations.
Points of reference in courses on teaching methodology are the types of vocational schooling, from vocational orientation and initial vocational training to further training and continuing education. The analysis of work processes and the specialist knowledge required for this in the occupations involving colour technology and interior decoration is a central component of the teaching methodological content, whereby particular emphasis is placed on the development of experiments to demonstrate scientific and technical principles.
Lehrinhalte
- Artistic design, technical representation / computer aided design (CAD)
- Chemical and physical foundations of construction work
- Coating technology
- Design and construction of buildings, building history
- Foundations of creative design
- Materials Science of finishes, adhesives and coating
- Teaching methodology of colour technology and interior decoration
Study of the vocational subject area of Colour Technology and Interior Decoration consists primarily of three areas:
1. Specialist foundations from degree programmes in Architecture and Civil Engineering
These include elementary modules on Design and Architectural Drafting, Building Materials Science, Structures, Building Physics, and History of Architecture.
2. Professional specialist content for the vocational area of colour technology and interior decoration
Central modules in this area are Materials Science and Coating Technology in Colour Technology and Interior Decoration. Courses on chemical foundations, mechanics, electrical engineering and mathematics provide the basis for this.
3. Teaching methodology for the vocational subject area of Colour Technology and Interior Decoration
Modules in this area deal with the fundamental teaching conditions for training in construction-related occupations, the importance of experiments and laboratory tests in learning processes relating to materials and coating technology, teaching methodological analyses of materials, constructions and production processes, as well as information and communication technologies in learning processes in colour technology and interior decoration.
