Educational objectives
The module encompasses and deepens two interrelated areas aimed at innovative processes in kindergarten and primary school: media pedagogy and the evaluation and development of/in educational systems. In a specific, thematically orientated sense, media pedagogy and didactics as well as the use of digital media in educational contexts are of particular importance as they induce the transformation of traditional educational settings. The reorganisation of the learning environment is accompanied by a criteria-based definition and scientifically validated evaluation of specific educational processes as well as educational institutions and their systemic framework conditions; this includes procedures for ensuring and developing their quality. Against this background, the laboratory also aims to prepare the final thesis, which is also expected to contribute to innovative processes in kindergarten or primary school. Expected learning outcomes and competences: Knowledge and understanding Students are familiar with basic theoretical concepts and conceptual distinctions in media education, media didactics, media education and media socialisation in the past and present - know the basics of media didactics and the differences between forms of knowledge and their presentation - know forms and procedures of evaluation and quality development - know the possibilities, but also the limits of systemic processes of pedagogical and organisational development - know the principles and rules for writing a thesis and are familiar with the ethical principles of academic work Application of knowledge and understanding The students - are able to transfer media education concepts and approaches to educational processes in kindergarten and primary school in an age-appropriate manner. - are able to productively consider the media socialisation of children in their educational activities - are able to transfer concepts and approaches of evaluation and quality development to specific structures and processes in educational institutions and modify them accordingly - are able to deal productively and effectively with their final thesis. Judgement Students can - evaluate media education and didactic processes in terms of their theoretical and practical scope and their ethical significance, interpret them consistently and assess their theoretical, methodological and pedagogical validity; - are able to scientifically justify their own initiatives for media education in kindergarten and primary school and assess their practical feasibility - are able to critically assess the benefits of concepts of evaluation and further development and mediate in a differentiated manner in the event of possible conflicts of interest; - have an independent judgement of the quality of their own final thesis and the possibilities for improving it. Communication Students can - use media critically and independently to exchange information about their pedagogical initiatives; - communicate evaluation processes and quality development measures in a communicative manner and promote them productively in a team dialogue; - write their final thesis in such a way that it can be seen as a productive contribution to the further development of pedagogical knowledge. Learning strategies Students can - develop and evaluate learning strategies for themselves and for others on the basis of media didactics - consider theories and instruments of evaluation and quality development as learning processes for a "learning organisation" as well as the people working in it; - consider their final thesis both as a conclusion of student learning processes and as an invitation to further develop new learning strategies.

Assessment
Oral examination based on a written paper/project developed, for example, in the context of laboratory work (e.g. as a scientific poster presentation), in which students attempt to combine elements of media education with evaluation and development in such a way that they demonstrate both a thematic understanding of the subject and the central components of a scientific thesis (development of a research question, hypothesis and a suitable research design).

Evaluation criteria
Assignment of a single final assessment for the entire module in the oral module examination. The assessment is based on the syllabus, the topics covered, the expected learning outcomes and the specific educational objectives. Criteria for the assessment: Appropriate answers, logical structure, clear argumentation, reference to literature, ability to critically analyse and reflect, use of academic terminology, independent and reasoned judgement. In the event of a negative assessment of the overall module, the entire module examination must be repeated. Please note that according to the examination regulations, taking the examination three times without passing leads to a blocking for three examination dates. (see also Article 6, Paragraph 4 of the current examination regulations).

Module D — Preparation for the Master Thesis (Lab.)

The workshop, precisely because it is dedicated to guiding students in the identification and delimitation of the thesis topic, brings into system the work done in Module 2 during the first year of the Master's degree course and gathers the fruits of the entire Module 21 as well as the curriculum carried out thus far. It accompanies each student to an initial draft of an index and possibly a research design/presentation of the overall thesis work. He/she pays particular attention to the drafting of the thesis and the scientific writing required in a thesis paper.
