Educational objectives
The students - have in-depth specialised and didactic knowledge and skills in the areas of music education and art education; - can express themselves verbally and non-verbally with regard to aesthetic content and reflect on the corresponding forms of expression in a well-founded manner; - can realise statements, ideas, wishes and conceptions with creative and musical means and reflect on the corresponding forms of realisation in a well-founded manner; - deepen their skills in developing ideas for aesthetic projects and planning them appropriately; - deepen their skills in planning, implementing and reflecting on aesthetically orientated educational activities, in particular teaching units. Expected learning outcomes and competences: Knowledge and understanding The students - have in-depth knowledge of the basic concepts of art and music education and didactics for musical and artistic educational work and aesthetic education in the primary sector, in particular primary school; - know the different levels, dimensions, forms, genres and contexts of music and artistic creation and the relevant parameters in the area of musical and artistic means. Applying knowledge and understanding The students - are able to analyse works of music and visual art as well as works by children, combine these analyses with didactic considerations and transfer them to concrete pedagogical work; - are able to systematise and reflect on their own musical and artistic experiences and implement them in the planning, implementation and reflection of didactic units, especially for primary schools; - are able to utilise various techniques, both traditional and innovative, in order to expand the spectrum of presentation and design for themselves and the children. Judgement The students - demonstrate the ability to think across disciplines in the context of musical and aesthetic education, which is expressed in an independent judgement; - are able to assess the consistency and relevance of didactic concepts/concepts; - are able to assess the quality and applicability of didactic publications for music education and art education practice; - are able to assess the quality and potential of musical processes and their results as well as children's drawings and artistic works in an age-appropriate, parameter- and criteria-orientated manner. Communication The students - have an extended repertoire of subject-specific terms for precise and appropriate communication; - can listen, understand different points of view and at the same time defend their own well-founded point of view; - are able to communicate in and with different symbol systems, express ideas for presentation and design and can contribute to technical discussions. Learning strategies The students - convey orientations to children which enable them to set themselves a creative task; they can justify and evaluate this achievement reflexively; - utilise the change of symbol systems, formats, techniques and genres in order to take a critical look at aesthetic conventions.

Assessment
Final Module Examination (written and oral), consisting of the following partial exams: Partial Exam: Music 1. Written exam on the OLE platform covering the content of the lectures. 2.

Performance of the song planned and carried out in the laboratory, taken from the didactic unit for children aged 5 to 12 (with or without accompaniment). d. Performance from memory of one of the exam-relevant songs (with or without accompaniment).

For a positive assessment of the overall module, all four each of the four sub-courses must be assessed positively. positively. Criteria for assessment are: appropriate answers, logical structure, clear argumentation, reference to literature, ability to critically analyse and reflect, use of academic terminology, independent and reasoned judgement and quality of subject-specific presentation; and musical or artistic performance and communication. In the event of a negative assessment of the overall module, any positively assessed partial examinations will be credited the next time you take the module examination. Please note, however, that a negative assessment will also be included in the count of examination attempts in this case. According to the examination regulations, three attempts without passing will result in a block for three examination dates (Art. 6, para. 4 of the valid examination regulations)
