Encounters with nature
Aim
The aim of technical education at primary level is to give pupils access to technical phenomena. The focus is on media education as well as the use of analogue and digital media and digital information technologies. The focus of this course is therefore on the physical fundamentals as well as on the critical–reflexive handling of media. A further focus is the integration of science education in real-life contexts in order to convey learned content in the context of environmental education for sustainable development in a manner that is appropriate for the primary level.
Content
- Sound in nature and its technical possibilities: Consolidation of basic physical knowledge in the field of acoustics; comparison of sensory organs and technical systems: Sound generation, perception, recording, and reproduction
- Perception of nature through the media: Consolidation of the basic physical knowledge in the area of optics (optical systems and principles)
- Photography as a medium in environmental education for communicating climate change in the Anthropocene (media–reflexive, geographical environmental education; image-related operationalisations of concepts of nature)
- Reflexive, critical and responsible handling of information on global developments, media and digital information technologies as a starting process for perspective–networking topic generation with an ecological focus
- Designing learning environments through the use of different media and learning platforms in lessons at the primary level
- Consolidation of science didactics and media didactics at the primary level: Key Ideas and teaching concepts based on pupil perceptions
- Carrying out of experiments and trials with reference to everyday phenomena and their media-didactic preparation and documentation
- Action-oriented strategies and activities in content-integrative technology, digitalisation, and English lessons at the primary level

The graduates ...
- are familiar with the scientific foundations of the physical sub-area of acoustics and can compare the origin of sound with the technical possibilities of producing it
- can receive the scientific fundamentals of the physical sub-area optics
- are familiar with possibilities to use photography as a medium in environmental education for teaching climate change at the primary level
- are familiar with ways of teaching a critical and responsible approach to information, media, and information technologies in an age-appropriate manner and on the basis of ecological thematic focuses
- are able to use different media and learning platforms for the design of virtual learning environments and individualised media offers
- are familiar with different subject didactic and media didactic methods for the teaching of general studies at the primary level and can describe the interaction between humans and technology in a correct and age-appropriate manner
- are familiar with the effects of technology and progress on humans and society
- have the necessary linguistic resources in the living foreign language English and are familiar with suitable CLIL strategies in order to develop problem-solving, action-oriented instructions for technology and digitisation tasks, apply these in learning designs, and teach technical and (foreign) language learning both implicitly and explicitly.
