students work for the subject of work theory: more practical orientation required

The subject of work theory is the focus of students at the University of Kassel. They demand more attention and practical orientation for the subject that is currently being taught at various schools in Kassel.

work theory, which gives students important practical skills, is often seen as preparation for later life. Nevertheless, students such as Emily-Sophie Schütze and Anna-Sophie Weber criticize that the subject at the university is often in the shadow of other more well-known subjects. You want to draw attention to how relevant and valuable work theory is for the students.

The lecturer Malena Pfeiffer emphasizes that work theory is always trying to treat socially relevant topics, be it in the teaching kitchen, in the lessons or in professional orientation.

Criticism of the lack of awareness of work theory

students such as Emily-Josephine Sagittarius emphasize that work theory is hardly known to many educational institutions and is often only discovered later in the course of their studies. This lack of awareness means that funding is missing, for example, for material in the school workshops.

In addition, the creation of the compulsory elective "Fit for Life" is viewed critically, since there are large overlaps with work theory. The students advocate a stronger focus on practical and real -life teaching methods that meet both students and parents.

Overall, it can be seen that the subject gains work theory in importance and the demands of the students are entitled to more practical orientation and support. It remains to be seen whether these concerns will be heard and lead to positive changes in the school and university system.
