Research question: How can creative and experimental tasks be developed for secondary school students based on the egg, with particular emphasis on cross-curricular topics (BMBWF 2023)?

The aim of the course is to develop a teaching concept (with reference to and alignment with the curriculum), to try it out in practice, to test it, and then to reflect on, evaluate, and adapt it. The adapted concept will be compiled into an open source toolbook.

• Seminar paper of 20,000-25,000 characters including spaces (main text: process of implementing the teaching concept and theoretical, subject-specific contextualization as well as evaluation of the concept, images and descriptions of the conceptual steps, translation, methods, description and contextualization of the students' work in the appendix, the adapted
• If a small artistic work is required and carried out, it must be illustrated and described (especially in terms of the process and the art-historical, material-specific, and design-historical contextualization). In this case, the seminar paper must be 15,000 characters in length, including spaces.
• Toolbook* (see notes for submission requirements)

If the course involves the development of a small artistic work, the following applies:

Examination modalities:

• 40% active participation, interim presentations (documentation of the artistic, creative work and the work steps)
• 60% text contribution Pro-seminar paper of 15,000 characters is the documentation and subject-didactic contextualization, embedding, and reflection on considerations for communicating the work and its process (idea, concept, project/lesson planning, translation, methods, illustration and description and contextualization of the students' work and one's own artistic work, materials, etc.), including a lesson plan (learning objectives of my project, didactic reserve).
• Toolbook (see notes for submission requirements)

The following applies to both options: For a positive overall assessment, both parts (participation/interim presentation and written contribution) must be completed successfully.

Latest possible submission date: 2026 September 10. 

Submissions after the latest possible submission date cannot be considered; the seminar must be repeated.

• 1) Attendance at the Translation I course is strongly recommended. Fifteen students can be accepted for the course. We ask for your understanding and refer you to the alternative offer.
• 2) The course must be attended in parallel with the subject-related school practice (FASP).
• 3) The course must be attended in parallel with supervision (FASP).
• 4) Continuous attendance (maximum of two excused absences). If there are more than two absences, the course must be repeated.
• 5) If the deadline cannot be met for health or other personal reasons, an email must be sent to the course instructor by the last possible day of submission at the latest. Only in this case can an extension of 14 days be granted.
• 6) In the event of serious illness/inclusive needs, we ask students to contact Ms. Veronika Merklein [Disability Officer for Students] (merklein@uni-ak.ac.at).
• 7) Submission of the seminar paper and toolbook: The seminar paper must be sent by email to the course instructor. The toolbook must be uploaded as a packaged InDesign file to the base of the corresponding course.
• 8) Access to InDesign:
