The teacher training program in Design: Technology.Textiles (GTT) at the Salzburg location offers space for independent creative design in the areas of design, body, space, fashion and technology and their subsequent teaching in schools. Starting from the conception and the artistic-creative implementation, new knowledge is acquired through experimenting with materials and their analysis. Topics of material sustainability are also reflected upon.

The teacher training program for secondary education (general education) consists of a bachelor's and a master's program and trains students to become teachers in the chosen subjects.
The planned duration of the bachelor's program for secondary education (general education) is 8 semesters. Basically, two teaching subjects are to be chosen, which are supplemented by general educational science basics, free elective subjects and integrated pedagogical-practical studies. The teaching subject Design: Technology.Textiles can be combined with any teaching subject chosen.
The bachelor's degree program in Design: Technology.Textiles serves to provide basic training in the subject sciences and subject didactics, pedagogical science, educational science and school practice as a preliminary professional training for the teaching profession at middle and high schools.
In addition, this course of study enables students to work in non-school occupational fields such as design, art and cultural mediation, youth work, adult education or media work;
The teacher training programme at secondary level (general education) is carried out in cooperation with the following partner institutions (Entwicklungsverbund Cluster Mitte):

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.
The first four semesters of the bachelor's teaching program teach basics in the context of design, craft and material culture. Basic courses are offered in the various workshops and studios as well as methods of visualization and artistic-design practice. First products are realized, documented and put into a didactic and theoretical context. In addition, the basic study program opens up subject-specific and subject-didactic theories and enables initial teaching experiences in school practice (secondary level). Building on the competencies acquired in the first four semesters, the focus from the 5th semester onwards is on the ability to implement artistic-creative projects and drafts in the subject areas of design, body, space and technology, from the idea through planning to production, documentation and presentation.
They focus on the conception and realization of individual artistic-creative ideas with the goal of developing one's own creative signature and strengthening it through reflection. Sociocultural, economic and ecological aspects of the body, space and the environment as well as technical developments are critically reflected upon. Perspectives from current research in inclusive education, diversity, interculturality, and interdisciplinarity are embedded in the projects and provide a basis for developing and planning lessons.
In order to be admitted to the Bachelor's programme, various certificates and examinations are required:
The subject Design: Technology.Textiles must be combined with a second subject. The combination with the teaching subject Fine Arts Education at the Mozarteum University is possible and requires proof of artistic achievements in a separate admission examination.
