1 Orientation framework

During their work, teachers face a complex set of challenges and demands on their pro-

fessional competence and must be prepared for a wide variety of tasks. The orientation

framework of PHBern defines the teachers' spheres of activity and provides a common

basis for the thematic orientation of training and further education at PHBern. PHBern un-

derstands the development of professional skills as a multi-phased and continuous pro-

cess, during which knowledge, skills, values and convictions are developed and thus the

basis laid for professionalism in the teaching profession. Therefore, the professional de-

velopment of teachers is considered against the backdrop of the three phases; basic train-

ing, career entry phase and active career.

Figure 1: Three-phase development (orientation framework PHBern)

The professional competence that is gained during the basic training is developed further

through practicing the profession during the career entry phase and the active career.

At the end of the basic training and the career entry phase, the standards of PHBern,

which are formulated as milestones, serve as a goal-orientation for the professional activi-

ty of future teachers and teachers already in office. The standards define what teachers

should have achieved at certain points in time and simultaneously provide a basis for the

process of individual further development.

velopment of modern humanity. The chemical structure of (bio)materials and the most important

mechanisms of chemical reactions are examined, discussed and explained in detail. Fundamental

concepts, interconnections and everyday applications concerning phenomena relating to electricity

are dealt with in theory and practice. The students are instructed in using subject-specific equipment

In addition to criteria-oriented evaluations, the subjectivity of aesthetic experience and judgement is

also taken into account.

The characteristics of youth-cultural and everyday aesthetic image worlds, but also levels of artistic

development and gender-specific aesthetic patterns are dealt with. Tools for observing, diagnosing,

encouraging and individualising creative learning processes approach this task using variable lear n-

Spheres of activity Cooperation with school management and teaching staff; cooperation with

Subject matter By analysing and comparing historic and current positions in the field of didactics of art, a subject-

specific didactic differentiation of the personal understanding of the field takes place. Insights into r e-

search in the field of didactics of art reveal current trends in the development of the subject and assist

in achieving a reflective practice and argumentation appropriate to the field when planning, carrying

out and evaluating teaching. Teaching the subject is positioned in the context of cultural education.

Based on examples, concepts and the significance of interdisciplinary teaching projects, of exhibition

culture, of artists in schools, of extracurricular art education (e.g. art in public space) and of coopera-

tion with institutions (e.g. museum education) are discussed. In cooperation with the subject -specific

image project, questions regarding subject-specific didactics, which are relevant for the personal un-

derstanding of the subject, are formulated. The students’ own subject-specific and teaching practice

experiences are associated with theories and models pertaining to subject-specific didactics.
