After the last strike Education there is now increasing concern about students actively involved in reform processes. Not for nothing that is also one of the demands of the Bologna process. I am just assume that this integration is serious and you want to get not only the formal confirmation of existing processes and structures. is
In the time to fit in a large Article discussed whether the written student body (including bringing budget law), also in Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg should be introduced.
The CHE has written a paper with " suggestions for student participation .
Mein - very subjective - this impression is that the protests of the already less organized students went out, but that it is mainly in Dusseldorf was a protest rather, who found that, regardless of its origin.
That would mean that the CHE engages in some parts of paper with his demands too short (see below why). But as much truth here is a brief summary:
- Discussion lead to the concept of education: What is your idea of breast-feeding education the "hunger for education" of students? How different are the concepts of the necessary supply for students who wish to have one master and those who want to get with a BA degree in the profession? Not all share the idea of educational content such as reflectivity, courage to think, ability to self-organization ".
- student participation is to be enshrined in guidelines
- students elect your representatives!
- form communities of interest between teachers and students, the "idea management" operate
- teachers in creative freedom Remember: vary types of tests, more flexible test dates, curricula purify
- on quality of teaching influence through: evaluation and assessment of communication skills in sample classes of newly appointed professors
- Different teaching formats for different needs require
- controlling the tuition fees with regard to student ratios, student. Satisfaction, development of social structure
- mentoring programs for degree-phase

It should start after high school educational considerations, the active participation, influence and participation of students. Because learning is an individual, active process - in other words: I'm learning little by simply listening. Already in the courses, students and teachers in communities of interest form by
- the teaching objectives of the faculty and the learning outcomes of students are related to each other.
- so-called working alliance to be closed.
I also suspect that activating methods contribute to general (also university policy) more active students. Because students have acquired experience of self-efficacy , so they have a sense of achievement that adjust ie not with lectures, take notes if they simply announced knowledge.
go leeway for students / but they have actually also to the extent that they themselves can do courses. In this motivating experience in the student body is also related Johannes Wildt of academic teaching center in his farewell speech at the DOSS .
It remains to mention the love of money: A contribution of the students are in their final phase in Dusseldorf from the winter semester, including the fact that the last semester free of tuition fees the is.
