# Lehramt (Teacher Training)

**Lehramt** refers to the academic tracks in Germany designed to qualify students to become teachers. 

- According to the existing version on disk, at the [[cdfi]], this is implemented as a **modularized study program in Art and Design** (*modularisiertes Lehramtsstudium Kunst und Gestaltung*), integrating artistic practice and training with [[fachdidaktik]] to prepare students for professional teaching roles.
- According to the newly generated version, it refers to the teacher training tracks for secondary and primary education, including training for Primary Schools (*Grundschullehramt*), Regional Schools (*Regionale Schulen*), and Gymnasien.

## Target School Levels and Specializations
The Lehramt track is divided into different tracks based on the target school type, each with its own examination and study regulations.

### School Tiers
- **Gymnasium**: The highest tier of secondary school / academic secondary schools. (Mentioned in `output_cdfi/cdfi_uni_greifswald_de_bildende_kunst.md` and `output_cdfi/cdfi_uni_greifswald_de_bildende_kunst_studium_mein_studium.md`)
- **Realschule**: A secondary school providing a mid-level education. (Mentioned in `output_cdfi/cdfi_uni_greifswald_de_bildende_kunst.md`)
- **Regionale Schule**: Training for regional secondary schools. (Mentioned in `output_cdfi/cdfi_uni_greifswald_de_bildende_kunst_studium_mein_studium.md`)
- **Primary Schools (Grundschulen)**: Mentioned in `output_cdfi/cdfi_uni_greifswald_de_bildende_kunst_bewerbung_bewerbung.md`, `output_cdfi/cdfi_uni_greifswald_de_bildende_kunst_fachbereiche_fachdidaktik.md`, and `output_cdfi/cdfi_uni_greifswald_de_bildende_kunst_studium_mein_studium.md`. The latter source notes this as a specific training track, while `output_cdfi/cdfi_uni_greifswald_de_bildende_kunst_fachbereiche_fachdidaktik.md` notes that this specialization is supported by specialized staff such as Anke Johannes.
- **Minor (Beifach)**: A secondary subject track for teacher training. (Mentioned in `output_cdfi/cdfi_uni_greifswald_de_bildende_kunst_studium_mein_studium.md`)

## Curriculum and Pedagogical Approach

### Pedagogical Framework
The study of Art and Design within the Lehramt tracks is governed by the [[integrative-connection]], ensuring that artistic practice remains the central reference point for theoretical and pedagogical studies.

### Curriculum Content
The curriculum is application-oriented and includes:
- **Basic Studies**: Introduction to the theory and practice of fine arts, art/architecture history, aesthetics, and [[fachdidaktik]].
- **Practical Scope**: Students are trained in a wide array of media, including:
    - Painting and Drawing
    - Sculpture and Object Construction
    - Printmaking
    - Photo, Film, and Video
    - Design, Installation, and Performance
- **Training Methods**: Lectures, seminars, exercises, projects, workshop internships, and excursions.

## Admission and Aptitude Requirements
According to `output_cdfi/cdfi_uni_greifswald_de_bildende_kunst_bewerbung_bewerbung.md`, the aptitude requirements for admission vary slightly depending on the target school level:

### Secondary School Teaching (Sekundarschulen)
The selection committee looks for:
- High levels of originality and intensity in artistic expression.
- A wide variation within the applicant's individual visual worlds.
- Strong skills in applying design principles (color, material, composition, and space).

### Primary School Teaching (Grundschulen)
The requirements are similar but focused on "approaches" (Ansätzen):
- Originality and intensity of expression *in approaches*.
- Variation within individual visual worlds *in approaches*.
- Basic skills in the application of design principles.

## Professional Preparation and Framework

### Regulatory Framework
According to `output_cdfi/cdfi_uni_greifswald_de_bildende_kunst_studium_mein_studium.md`, the regulations for these tracks have evolved, with significant updates in 2012 and 2021 to align with current educational standards.

### Path to Professional Practice
According to `output_cdfi/cdfi_uni_greifswald_de_bildende_kunst_fachbereiche_fachdidaktik.md`, a key goal of the Lehramt track is preparing students for the **Referendariat** (the professional preparatory practicum). This preparation includes:
- School-based exercises.
- Art-pedagogical projects conducted in cooperation with schools and other educational institutions.
- School-type specific subject didactics and practical school training.

## Completion and Certification
The completion of the [[lehramt]] track culminates in the **First State Examination (Erste Staatsexamensprüfung)**.

- **Management**: The process is managed by the [[lehrerpruefungsamt]].
- **Regulation**: The process is governed by the [[lehprvo-mv]] regulation.

### Requirements for the First State Exam
To qualify for the First State Examination, students must:
1. Complete a term paper (**Hausarbeit**).
2. For specific subjects such as Art (Kunst), complete a **practical examination** prior to registration.

The examination period itself extends over a dedicated examination half-year.
