Project
Mentor-Mentee-Relationship in a Long Term Internships (MEET)
The ›Teaching Workshop‹ (Lehr:werkstatt) is an alternative long-term school internship for students enrolled in the Bachelor of Education (B.Ed. for Secondary Schools). Instead of conducting their regular three-week school internship, students who take part in the Teaching Workshop, work with their mentoring teacher as a tandem in class for one whole school year (1 day per week). They take part in class life and they experience every day work of a teacher throughout the year. They thus have the possibility to develop their teaching skills gradually in various forms of tandem teaching. In this way, both students and teachers benefit from this internship. The internship is complemented by three workshops and a class every other week at the University. In Bavaria, the Teaching Workshop has been introduced at four locations since 2011: Munich, Würzburg, Passau and Erlangen-Nuremberg. At the University of Tübingen, the program started in 2016. A special feature of the internship is the close work relationship between mentoring teacher and student. Research on Teachers and Teacher Education points to the importance of the relationship quality for the professionalization of students. A balance of support and challenge is seen as an important indicator of a successful internship. An interdisciplinary qualitative study will examine the relationship between the quality of the relationship as well as the given support and challenge. To this end, several preliminary and follow-up discussions of lessons are recorded, transcribed and analyzed through discourse analysis.
