Teacher Training at the University School

This poster (in German) shows the various opportunities for students at the University School Research Centre (ForUS) at TU Dresden. You will find the link to the download as pdf further down on this page.
The University School Dresden as a training school offers students enrolled in teacher training degrees the possibility to complete their work experience training at an innovative, self-reflective and self-critical school, with both special learning opportunities for students and innovative teaching formats at University. This includes:
- Inquiry-based learning – ‚In order to be able to learn by inquiry, you need to learn to enquire: Learning to research and learning by research constitute a whole.’ (Fichten 2017:32)
- Interdisciplinary teaching and learning in higher education
- Digitalisation and gaming as didactical elements in higher education
- Leading a learning workshop for pupils as an expert (enrollment as teacher student not required)
Read the article Eine Werkstatt fürs Leben ("A workshop for life") in the Dresden University Journal, issue 10/2020 from 26/05/2020
On the website of the Chair of Educational Science / Inclusive Education you will find detailed information on examinations, state examinations and final theses as well as on the semester-accompanying school internship for a better theory-practice link.
Here you can download the poster Poster "Forschung trifft Schule - wie geht das?" (‘Research meets school - how does it work?’ in German) with the offers of the Research Centre University School (ForUS) as a barrier-free pdf with active links.
The topics for the summer semester 2025 have already been allocated. Information on the topics and the registration period for the winter semester 2025/26 is expected to be available here in June.

Im Sommer 2019 wurde die Universitätsschule für 200 Kinder geöffnet. Seit August 2020 lernen an der Universitätsschule etwa 360 Schüler in der 1. bis 6. Klasse jahrgangsübergreifend, fächerverbindend, inklusiv, ganztägig, mehrsprachig, selbstbestimmt, kooperativ und digital gestützt.
Die Universitätsschule ist jedoch auch ein Ort der Bildungsforschung. An der Professur Erziehungswissenschaften mit Schwerpunkt Inklusive Bildung werden regelmäßig für Lehramtsstudierende aller Fachrichtungen das Seminar "Forschen an der Universitätsschule" und weitere Seminare in Kooperation mit der Universitätsschule angeboten.
