Within the framework of the courses accompanying the internship in pedagogical-psychological fields of action (PppH), the seminar on pedagogical interaction in school and lessons (PIUS), and the lecture on the introduction to inclusive education, students of the teaching profession for secondary education at the University of Potsdam are introduced to a concept of explorative learning. This concept supports the professionalization of the students in two ways.
The basic for "ProfInk2" was a pilot project that operationalized a first set of central areas of professionalization for teachers in the field of inclusive education. With reference to the Te4I model (Teacher Education for Inclusion) developed by the European Agency for Development in Special Needs Education (2012), an initial instrument profile was compiled as part of the pilot project, which also forms the basis for "ProfInk2".
The expansion of the ProfInk project within the framework of ProfInk2 proceeds with the integration of another seminar, which began in the winter semester 2019/2020. This means that further factors influencing the development of pedagogical professionalism will be researched. It is expected that the expansion of the project to other teaching formats will enable valuable synergy effects for the quality of teaching in all participating formats.
Through the ongoing monitoring of competence acquisition, both sustainable competence development of students and evidence-based design of teaching will be possible in the future as well.
The procedure of ProfInk2 addresses students of the courses:
