Chemical research internship for teacher training students
Contact
In
the
winter
semester
2022/2023, the
module
"Laboratory Course in Chemistry"
and the "Modern Methods: Physical Chemistry" seminar
were
replaced
by
the
new
module
"Chemical research internship for teacher training students" in accordance with the 2nd Amendment of the Examination Regulations of September 22th, 2022.
The
module
"Chemical
Research
Internship
for
Teaching"
consists
of
two
parts:
- A research internship with a final report
- A seminar with a paper
The
research
internship
provides
an
insight
into
a
current, chemistry-related
research
topic. The
internship
is
completed
by
the
students
by
individual
agreement
in
one
of
the
working
groups
of
the
Department
of
Chemistry. The
research
internship
can
also
be
completed
at
external
research
institutions
or
in
industry.
There
is
no
definition
of
the
duration
and
working
hours
of
the
research
internship. The
beginning
and
working
hours
are
agreed
with
the
respective
supervisors. The
research
internship
can
be
started
at
any
time
by
students
of
the
Master’s teacher education programs. It
can
be
completed
during
the
lecture
period
as
well
as
during
the
lecture-free
period
of
the
winter
semester
and
the
summer
semester.
The
workload
of
the
research
internship
in
the
working
groups
comprises
20
working
days. These
can
be
completed
on
a
full-time
basis
within
four
weeks. However, it
is
also
possible
to
complete
a
research
internship
on
a
part-time
basis, e.
g.
to
continue
participating
in
lectures
or
examinations. A
division
into
full-time
and
part-time
work
is
also
possible
and
depends
on
the
flexibility
of
the
working
group.
For
each
research
internship
a
written
final
report
has
to
be
written. This
must
be
submitted
to
the
examiners
no
later
than
four
months
after
the
beginning
of
the
research
internship. A
presentation
of
the
results
within
the
working
group
is
not
necessary
in
principle, but
may
take
place
according
to
the
tradition
of
the
working
group.
The
seminar
on
the
research
internship
serves
to
present
and
reflect
on
the
results
and
insights
gained
in
the
practical
part. The
presentation
includes, on
the
one
hand, a
suitable
presentation
of
the
scientific
results
developed. On
the
other
hand, the
type
of
scientific
procedure
that
is
characteristic
of
the
subject
of
chemistry
is
reflected
in
the
sense
of
the
NOS (Nature
of
Science). For
this
purpose, the
procedures
and
scientific
research
methods
chosen
in
the
sense
of
the
intended
acquisition
of
knowledge
are
presented
in
a
substantiated
manner. In
addition, the
research
topic
will
be
examined
in
relation
to
possible
technology
and
application
contexts.
The seminar on the research internship takes place only in the winter semester, even if the students complete the research internship in the summer semester.
Chemical research internship for teacher training students - FAQ
Who will be covered by the new regulation? What happens if I have already passed the "Laboratory Course in Chemistry" and/or the “Modern Methods: Physical Chemistry” seminar?
- Students who have completed the module "Laboratory Course in Chemistry" do not have to complete the module "Chemical research internship for teacher training students". If they have not yet done so, they must complete the seminar "Modern Methods: Physical Chemistry".
- Students who have not yet completed the module "Laboratory Course in Chemistry" must complete the module "Chemical research internship for teacher training students" according to the 2nd Amendment of the examination regulations. If the seminar "Modern Methods: Physical Chemistry" has already been passed, it can be accepted for the "Seminar for chemical research internship for teacher training students" upon application to the examination board for chemistry.
