Overview Although child care facilities provide the elementary foundation for a successful educational career, the learning conditions at these facilities can still be improved. The path to improvement begins with the training of kindergarten teachers. The part-time bachelor's program is the first university degree program in Austria for trained kindergarten teachers with professional and management experience. The degree program focuses on how you can develop educational partnerships with families, team leadership and cooperation with education partners and how to optimally organize your facility.Contact usContact us!Florian Toifl, BANina Šmon, BA Favoritenstraße 226, B.2.281100 Vienna T: +43 1 606 68 77-3230 F: +43 1 606 68 77-3239 smep@fh-campuswien.ac.at Map of the main campus Favoriten (Google Maps)Anrede Frau Herr Vorname *Nachname *E-Mail address *Nachricht *AbsendenIhre E-Mail wurde versendetDuration of course5 SemesterFinal degreeBachelor of Arts in Social Sciences (BA)36Study places180ECTSOrganisational formpart-timeApplication period for academic year 2021/2221st November 2020 to 31st March 2021tuition fee / semester:€ 363,361+ ÖH premium + contribution2 1 Tuition fees for students from third countries € 727,- per semester 2 for additional study expenses (currently up to € 83,- depending on degree program and year) What you can offer You are a trained kindergarten teacher with professional and management experience. Personally, you want to critically reflect on what you have learned in your previous education and what you experience professionally every day and combine this with scientific findings. In this way you seek to expand your scope of action. What you already do now, you will in future also be able to justify based on established theory or do differently for good reason. In your job you recognize a complex, interwoven relationship between children, families, staff and education partners. As director, you are open to input in order to act even more professionally and efficiently so that your child care facility is well organized, leaving you enough time for what is truly important: the education of our children. What we offer you We maintain close cooperation with elementary educational institutions, elementary educational training centers and universities with which we regularly exchange knowledge and experience. The bachelor's degree program was developed in collaboration with experts from the Universities of Vienna and Innsbruck, the Bundesbildungsanstalt für Kindergartenpädagogik Klagenfurt, employees of course-providing bodies, the early education and care platform EduCare and other experts from the field of early education and care and its related disciplines. The first conference for directors and responsible bodies for children's education and child care facilities in Austria took place at FH Campus Wien. Currently there are very few university professorships for early education and care in Austria The head of our degree program is herself a university qualified teacher. Nina Hover-Reisner most recently taught and researched topics in early education and care at the Department of Education at the University of Vienna. Before that, she worked for many years in early education and care institutions. Thus she combines to a high degree scientific expertise with practical experience. What makes this degree program special Although child care facilities provide the elementary foundation for a successful educational career, the learning conditions at these facilities can still be improved. The path to improvement begins with the training of kindergarten teachers. In the vast majority of European countries a university education is the norm. Only in Austria is this not the case. At a time in which the growing need for quality child care facilities is being discussed and at the same time too few people want to work in early education and care, it is more important than ever to promote the development of the profession into an academic field. FH Campus Wien is the first university to offer a degree program for trained kindergarten teachers with professional and management experience. The degree program focuses not only on the education of the children according to established theories, but on how you can develop educational partnerships with families, team leadership and cooperation with education partners and how to optimally organize your facility. What you will learn in the degree program The degree program focuses on three core skills: early education and care in different settings, development and professionalization of the occupational field and organization and management. You will learn about the different settings for early education and care as well as the management of child day care facilities.In order to develop and professionalize your occupational field, you will expand your didactic and pedagogical skills and learn scientific methods and how to apply them in your professional field. You will write two bachelor's theses on topics you choose according to your professional focus.In the area of "organization and management" you will learn more about personnel management tools, legal frameworks, basic principles of business administration and accounting, the particularities of managing non-profit organizations, financial planning, controlling and reporting, as well as quality management and change management skills.During the course of the degree program you will examine and reflect upon your own role as a manager in different contexts. The degree program takes an interdisciplinary approach towards the subjects of communication and conflict management. Curriculum 1.

In addition to beneficial learning prerequisites, tools are also required to assess development. In the course, you will learn about theories and a method of observation that enable you to think about development and development needs as well as to understand the importance of the interaction processes between child and educator. For the course, observations of children in their interaction with the pedagogue and other children are to be written using the “Work Discussion” method developed in London. Together, the protocols are used to work out how it can be understood, why children act the way they do, and the specific meaning of the action or intervention of the educator. On the basis of such a reflective assessment of the child's behavior and inner experience, the child can subsequently be supported in its development and educational processes can be stimulated.Assessment methodsContinuous assessment Timely writing of a "Work Discussion" protocol and its interpretation in the sense of the knowledge learned in the course as a thesis.

The theories and concepts are transferred to childcare in alternating phases of the treatment of theory and practice. In a second block, the focus is on social policy. Here basic terms are clarified and the relation to institutional childcare is worked out. In a distance phase, housework is worked out in groups. In the last block, concepts are discussed using country examples. Further Economic aspects of childcare in different countries are discussed.Assessment methodsFinal exam Engagement, group work, written testTeaching methodsThe basic method of the course is the teaching of the course content based on an interplay between theoretical content and its application to practice.

In addition to beneficial learning prerequisites, tools are also required to assess development. In the course, you will learn about theories and a method of observation that enable you to think about development and development needs as well as to understand the importance of the interaction processes between child and educator. For the course, observations of children in their interaction with the pedagogue and other children are to be written using the “Work Discussion” method developed in London. Together, the protocols are used to work out how it can be understood, why children act the way they do, and the specific meaning of the action or intervention of the educator. On the basis of such a reflective assessment of the child's behavior and inner experience, the child can subsequently be supported in its development and educational processes can be stimulated.Assessment methodsContinuous assessment Timely writing of a "Work Discussion" protocol and its interpretation in the sense of the knowledge learned in the course as a thesis.
