gain knowledge of the practicing of the profession (pedagogical theories, terms and methods) and the profession (special regulations, self-perceptions, cultures, etc.)
enable the possibility to use this knowledge to perform the profession in a concrete situation, that means to make plans for, carry out and evaluate pedagogical work
