At the center of the course is the examination of the ethical justifications for elementary education. In the LV we deal in particular with the following content:

- Critical analysis of the social handling of value pluralism & the importance of social handling of value pluralism for the field of elementary education
- ethical concepts: Getting to know and comparing various "ethics concepts" that guide action
- Reflection on practice: Reflection on one's own values ​​and norms

Lecture contents

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.).
- In the course students get to know different models of transition support.
