Realia Classica

  • Linking Classical and Ancient Studies sciences with teacher training for grammar schools
  • Development of teaching offers through didactics of ancient languages for the teaching and studying area "Ancient culture and what lives on" (Latin, Ancient Greek, History)
  • Set-up and maintenance of an Internet based database about the material culture of ancient times

Realia Classica specifically aims at linking Ancient Studies sciences with teacher training for grammar schools. The objective is to recognise synergies and implement them into innovative university didactical teaching and learning arrangements that apply to all stages of teaching and teacher training.

The multivalency concept applies to the future LehrplanPLUS (new syllabus) as a guideline for language learning and reading in Latin and Greek lessons. This change requires an extension of the course offers in teacher training, in order to prepare future teachers for these standards. Along with pre-service teachers, in-service teachers will be able to access these support measures for the changeover to LehrplanPLUS . Along with the already existing modules for the areas language and text work, students need an equivalent for the third big teaching and studying area "Ancient culture and what lives on".

At the interface of Archaeology, Ancient History, History of Art, and Classical Philology, Didactics and school practice, Realia Classica will transfer models from archaeological material entry and picture analysis into didactical concepts of historical realia, pictures and source studies. Among other efforts, a database about the material culture of ancient times containing picture sources, map materials and lesson documentation will be set up and made accessible through a website. Thus all syllabus-relevant topic areas of the material culture of ancient times should be systematically recorded and hermeneutically contemplated. In this context we also want to introduce the many experts of ancient studies at LMU (e.g. at the Münchner Zentrum für antike Welten - Munich Centre for Ancient Worlds, the graduate school "Distant Worlds") to the research and teaching potential that exists within the framework of teacher training studies.
