Lecture contents

The course starts with the concept of "economics" in order to work from there to everyday-oriented content for the students: The course begins with a first block, which deals with economic aspects of childcare. 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 and the advantages and disadvantages of economic evaluation will be regarded in detail, especially focussing on instituional childcare.

Assessment methods

Final exam
Engagement, group work, written test

Teaching methods

The basic method of the course is the teaching of the course content based on an interplay between theoretical content and its application to practice. The course concept provides for a subsequent practice block for each theory block, which transfers the learned theories and concept to the service of institutional childcare. Interactive elements to consolidate the teaching content complement this concept.

Lecture contents

The course begins with a look at your own learning process in order to work out what prerequisites are required to stimulate learning processes. 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.

The course aims to develop a understanding of what a "sociology of early childhood and family" deals with and from which theoretical or discipline-specific perspectives this field can be "illuminated". In doing so, the complexity of the connections between social framework conditions, time-typical problem interpretations, generation-specific educational mentalities and the subjective forms of processing and reactions of children, parents, but also of educators is worked on in a theoretical manner and reflected with a view to pedagogical practice. The aim is to find out how this “sociological view” opens up (new) perspectives for working with children and parents or for educational practice.

Lecture contents

- Conceptual clarification of the term “pedagogical concept” in the context that theories and action concepts are often used interchangeably in elementary education and that elementary education conceptual research is still in its infancy.
- Concepts of action can reduce the complexity of pedagogical practice, provide certainty, and resolve elementary educationareas of tension in rudimentary ways, because they are application-oriented and provide a direction.
- Pedagogical guiding ideas and educational principles are programmatically condensed in early childhood education action plans. Based on a specific image of the child, they identify educational goals and formulate consequences for the design of pedagogical practice.
- In the context of pedagogical professionalism, it is necessary to understand pedagogical concepts as practical constructs and to constantly reflect on them as such. Pedagogical concepts are always products of a current discourse on education, and they legitimise pedagogical action. In this respect, it is highly significant to examine pedagogical concepts of action with a critical and self-reflexive view of subject constructions and dogmatism.

Transitions or transitions represent significant biographical phases in the curriculum vitae. In the elementary pedagogical context, the transition from family to non-family care, from day nursery to kindergarten and from kindergarten to primary school is of particular interest. The courses deal with the specific challenges associated with these three transitions. The main focus of the course is on psychoanalytical-pedagogical approaches to transitions.
- In connection with this, an overview of the various methodological and theoretical approaches to transitional research is developed in order to be able to work out the central findings on the question of the importance of transitions for early development and educational processes.
- A deepening takes place through the examination of exemplary educational biographies and various factors that can influence the course of transitions (e.g. structural aspects of educational institutions, family-cultural aspects, relationship biographies, etc.).

Research shows the connection between health and, above all, the psychological stress experienced by the educational specialists in daycare centers (cf. Viernieckel, Voss 2012). The mental stress is related to the primary task of accompanying, educating and supporting the children and their families in the elementary education facility. The institutional challenges exist at all levels - specialist, management, organization and should be able to be recognized and reflected on with regard to mental health on the one hand. In this sense, the course takes a look at the institutional structures based on case material from one's own institution, so that the students are enabled on the one hand to do justice to the primary task of the institution and, on the other hand, preventively in terms of their (own) mental health (and those of employees) to take effect.
