General requirements for empirical qualitative and quantitative theses

at the Chair of School Pedagogy

With the help of your written term paper you should show that you are  able to work independently on a scientific topic. For this

the relevant theories should be summarized briefly and extended to your own research question.

Consequently, not a mere reproduction of known thoughts from the literature is expected, but the introduction and development of own ideas, as well as their scientifically and linguistically convincing presentation. Therefore, it is not necessary to know and summarize the entire existing literature
