Die Rolle von Politischer Bildung im Lehramtsstudium

Although the teaching principle of 'Political Education' applies to all subjects, it currently holds a minor significance in the Austrian school system. However, the curricula offer numerous points of connection to integrate Political Education into teaching. This volume closely examines the training of future teachers concerning Political Education. Two questions are central to this discussion: 1. How can Political Education be structured in teacher training to meet the teaching principle of 'Political Education'? 2. What skills must teachers possess to effectively conduct Political Education? Initially, the role of Political Education in the Austrian school system and specifically in teacher training is outlined. This is followed by an analysis of university curricula to determine how Political Education is currently embedded in teacher training. Based on this, a model curriculum for Political Education in teacher training is developed to best prepare students to successfully implement the teaching principle of 'Political Education' as teachers by designing competence-oriented lessons.
