Short Description
Sports 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.
The general aims of the degree programme are to acquire in-depth knowledge of the field and the ability to work scientifically using subject-specific methods. Graduates are qualified to work in school (after completing a master’s degree) or outside of school. A completed bachelor’s degree is an admission requirement for the master’s degree in teacher training for technical education.
During the degree course, students should gain a differentiated understanding of educational topics and issues in a variety of contexts. Sports science, educational and teaching knowledge and insights combined with abilities and skills in sports activities are of intentional significance here. Skills required of students are knowledge in areas of sports education, social sciences and natural sciences. They gain abilities and skills across the board in their training in sports education and methods.
As students will in future be dealing with very heterogeneous and in part also difficult i.e. conflict-laden learning groups, it is important for them to learn how to react to the situation, to offer a variety of activities and to be prepared to be flexible as far as teaching content is concerned. Classes such as “situational physical activities” and “teaching sports in difficult learning groups” prepare students specifically for this.
Course Content
- Combined practice and theory (team games, racquet sports, individual sports, further types of sport)
- Introduction to sports science
- Sports education (e.g. situational physical activities, heterogeneous school groups)
- Sport theory in science and the humanities
Course Structure
The programme offers many compulsory elective options, the diversity of which would not be illustrated by a concrete example. A more suitable planning tool for students is available in the form of a model study planner under the following link:
Recommended Abilities
- Interest in working with young people
- Interest in sport-science issues in both science and the humanities
- Basic abilities and skills in sports activities
Career Opportunities
The subject sport provides opportunities for practical experience through cooperation with social institutions, sports clubs, sport medicine institutes and professional associations. The main field of professional activity is clearly in schools. For graduates, alternatives to a school career, where a master’s degree is required, are activities in professional associations, health insurances, gyms, as self-employed coaches or in open youth and social work.
Possible Further Degree Programmes
