Staatsexamensarbeiten
Staatsexamensarbeiten für LehramtskandidatInnen
In Vorlesungen zur Festkörperphysik sind Demonstrationsexperimente nur unter sehr großem Aufwand vorzuführen, da die dazu notwendigen experimentellen Aufbauten meistens sehr umfangreich und wenig mobil sind. Um trotzdem in Vorlesungen zum didaktisch richtigen Zeitpunkt die grundlegenden Experimente vorführen zu können, sind kurze Videofilme ein sehr geeignetes Instrument, das „Labor in den Hörsaal“ zu holen. Eine Staatsexamensarbeit soll neben dem Einarbeiten in ein festkörperphysikalisches Thema die Anfertigung eines entsprechenden Lehrfilms umfassen. Zur Anfertigung solcher Lehrfilme stehen der Abteilung entsprechende Gerätschaften in „Audiovisuelle Medien“ der Universität zur Verfügung.
Das explizite Thema der Arbeit wird nach Rücksprache festgelegt.
