Bewertungskriterien
The exam is a single assessment, but partial evaluations are foreseen for the individual modules. In the event of a negative result for the overall course, any partial tests passed successfully will be considered as already completed during the next attempt at the full exam. It should be noted that, even in this case, a negative evaluation of the entire course will still count toward the total number of available attempts to pass the exam. According to the Examination Regulations, if a student fails an exam in three consecutive attempts, they are not allowed to register for the same exam in the three sessions following the last attempt (Art. 6, Paragraph 4 of the current Examination Regulations). The assessment will cover the topics addressed, the expected learning outcomes, and the specific educational objectives (Syllabus). The evaluation criteria are as follows: relevance of the answer to the question asked, clarity of exposition and argumentation with reference to the literature, ability to analyze and reflect critically based on the knowledge and content presented, use of scientific disciplinary terminology, and autonomy of judgment.

Module B — Beobachtung und Analyse des kindlichen Verhaltens (Lab.)

Description of teaching:
The ability to observe and reflect on a child's behaviour is a basic competence in teaching, especially with a view to inclusion.
The workshop introduces the theory and practice of observation in the teaching context. Processes and factors influencing observation and its interpretation will be identified, the advantages and disadvantages of using quantitative and qualitative observation methods will be discussed.
Experimentation and the use of various types of observation, as well as the ability to document observed data and their interpretation, based on theory, should guide students both during their training and subsequent professional life so as to support the developmental progress and learning strategies of their learners, to enhance their resources and to choose appropriate tools and methodologies for training and education.
Furthermore, the workshop aims to help students to take account of individual differences in the construction of inclusive learning environments and to use observation from an ethical, pedagogical, reflective, constructive and productive perspective.
