I think it is crucial for a teacher to have some knowledge and understanding of the educational sciences and to apply elements thereof into his or her actual teaching. However, I wonder how a person with no teaching or other work experience would be able to do so. I think one needs hands-on experience with a variety of learners in order to truly appreciate the value of the educational science.
Basics of Educational Sciences i.e. the courses "Understanding Adult Learning" and "Education and Society" need to be completed before the end of December 2019.
