The aim of the bachelor's program is to prepare students for the profession of teacher at middle and secondary schools. A teaching qualification can only be obtained by consecutive enrollment in the corresponding master's program.
Graduates are able to deal with the subject of people and material in a reflective way, to accompany children and adolescents, but also to initiate subject-specific individual support and to guide it in a constructive direction.
From an artistic-creative perspective, the study pursues the question of material culture and the perception of living worlds. The focus is on creative-artistic and manufacturing processes as well as objects/artifacts that influence and contribute to the subject/society and the lifeworld environment. In this context, one's own creative, informed activity and active participation in shaping the environment become central. This focus provides an emphasis for the creative-practical and scientific examination of materials, techniques and products, as well as for the development of artistic/creative methods and the reflection of (material) phenomena in culture and society.
The study programme offers a framework for one's own creative design in the areas of design, body, space, fashion and technology. Starting from the independent conception and the creative-artistic implementation, new knowledge is acquired through experimenting with materials and their analysis. The students also reflect on their own or socially prevailing consumer behaviour, taking into account sustainable production and the use of recyclable materials.
Innovative strategies for creative-artistic and technical implementation are explored and put into practice, function and technology are integrated as decisive components, and the interlocking of crafts, science and technological innovations with regard to the digitalisation or economisation of work processes is addressed. The resulting synergies between production techniques, practices and subject-specific reflection form the basis for the pedagogical-didactic part of the study programme.
