Courses for the Summer Semester 2024

Project - Project seminar

Practical or research projects are planned, implemented and reflected upon in small groups. A connection to early childhood education and upbringing is desirable. A project presentation takes place at the end of the lecture period. Each project group prepares a project report. It is possible to combine the project with the Bachelor's thesis. Please contact me about this at an early stage.

Shaping early childhood education in real life: Design thinking as a method for innovative problem solving - Project seminar

In this project seminar, we will work in small groups over the course of the semester on a challenge, i.e. a real problem at a daycare center in Berlin. The aim of the seminar is to use the design thinking method to think outside the box and find innovative solutions to the problem of the Berlin daycare center. At the beginning, you will be given a theoretical introduction to the design thinking method. You will then go through all the phases of a design thinking process. Within this process, you will conduct research in the field and with the employees of the daycare center. At the end, you will generate a client-oriented solution that will enable you to help shape the daycare center in real life. The course takes place every 14 days for 4 hours. Participation requires a high degree of independence and the willingness to work in a team of max. 5 people.
