Student Theses
At the chair for technical education, students have the opportunity to complete theses in the overall spectrum of professional-technical teaching and learning. All master’s theses should have an empirical focus. Possible topics can either be submitted by students themselves or selected from the chair’s suggestions. For the preparation and processing of a thesis, students can find further information provided by the Department of Educational Sciences. In addition, there are some helpful advices from the professorship (formal standards). After a topic has been selected and a supervisor has been found, students are required to submit an exposé including a timeline (template) to their supervisor within four weeks. As this is a cut-off period, at least one feedback loop with the supervisor must be scheduled for consultation. With the final exposé, the master’s thesis is also registered and work on the master’s thesis can begin. The processing time in the consecutive course is six months, in the integrated course it’s twelve months. The completion of the master’s thesis is closely supervised and accompanied until it is handed in. The correction takes about two weeks. For orientation, it is worth taking a look at the evaluation criteria in advance (criteria).

Topics currently offered
Competence profiles in subject-specific courses within the vocational, technical teacher training programme. de | - (Verena Zehender)
Two Master's thesis topics can be offered on this topic. In an existing project, the teaching in subject-specific courses for technical student teachers is to be upgraded. To this end, (1) competence profiles of teachers are to be developed within a meta-analysis and (2) a coherent implementation of the competence profiles in existing courses is to be implemented in a follow-up study.
Professionalisation in vocational, technical teacher training. de | - (Verena Zehender)
In a long-term study, students are to be accompanied during their study and traineeship period. For this purpose, material analyses and question-based interviews are to be designed, implemented and evaluated according to the current state of research.
