The subject Economics - Work - Technology (WAT) currently comprises three professorships that jointly represent economic and technical education at the University of Potsdam. In addition, there are various functional positions that cover other content areas of the broad subject.
The professorships each represent a subject didactic focus. A characteristic of the subject didactic research in WAT is a high level of application in teaching and a holistic view of the various subject didactic research and transfer tasks related to the subject, which also includes the development of innovative teaching-learning offers and the (further) qualification of teachers.
The range of courses concentrates on the Bachelor’s and Master’s of Education programs in the subject of Business, Technology and Economics (WAT) for the teaching profession at general education schools and in particular at secondary level I. In addition, WAT can also be studied as a subject in the course of studies in special education and is a reference subject of the primary school teaching profession for the teaching of science.
The Golm Campus has a variety of specialized rooms for the implementation of theoretically sound and at the same time practice-oriented teacher training. The equipment consists, among other things, of a specialist room for CNC technology, a wood and metal cabinet, a teaching kitchen and practical rooms for scientific-technical basics and subject didactics.
The cooperation with schools and other practice partners is an essential part of the WAT study program.
