Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

In the context of the Interdisziplinären Projektpraktikums "Sustainable environmental education with (school) bees", students are given the opportunity to apply and deepen their already acquired Biology Education knowledge in concrete teaching situations in the subject area of environmental education/education for sustainable development (ESD)". They gain insights into the great potentials of working with bees in ESD.

You will learn more about:
- the fascinating biology of honey bees as well as wild bees, which important role they play for us and our environment as well as their current global endangered status
- how you can use bees in the thematic field of environmental education/BNE within the school curriculum of Sekundarstufe 1
- how to establish honey bee colonies ot wild bees at your future school, how to found a bee club or project workshop, and how to be active with your pupils in bee conservation
- how natural beekeeping works and how you can harvest your own honey :-)

The course is divided into different theory and practical parts:
1. interactive lectures on the biology of honey bees and wild bees
2. insights into bee threats and bee protection
3. insights into beekeeping theory and practice
4. insights into keeping bees at school and school apiculture
5. insights into the potentials of a didactic implementation of the topic "bee" at school, embedded in the thematic field of environmental education/BNE (17 Sustainable Development Goals)
6. independent planning and teaching of selected modules with school classes on the Bee.Ed bee site (incl. criterion-guided peer and lecturer feedback)
7. practical work at the Bee.Ed research and teaching bee site of the AECC Biology (beekeeping, bee garden)
8. talks and discussions with experts from school, research and/or beekeeping practice

We are looking forward to your participation!
