In this connection, students increasingly learn specialist content in the minor subject, enabling them to increase the workload in this subject to almost that in the major subject. In addition, much more time is spent focusing on teaching skills than at the Bachelor's stage. During practical training, students gain their first experience teaching physics. The Master's Teacher Training Course for Grammar Schools focuses on teaching methodology, especially enabling students to approach school practice by completing practical training.
