Effects of a Dual Teaching Degree

Germany is already experiencing a significant shortage of teachers. Although current projections of teacher demand vary considerably in their estimates, they all agree that there will likely continue to be a shortage of educational expertise, including in special education, over the next ten years. Therefore, measures for lateral and alternative entry into the teaching profession are being increasingly implemented (for an overview, see Driesner & Arndt, 2020). However, in light of current research findings on the pedagogical-psychological knowledge of alternatively trained teachers (Kleickmann & Anders, 2011; Kunina-Habenicht et al., 2013; Oettinghaus, Lamprecht & Korneck, 2014; Lucksnat, Richter, Klusmann, Kunter & Richter, 2022), it is doubtful whether these programs are suitable for adequately qualifying teachers. Recently, dual training models, which are widely used internationally (OECD, 2022), have increasingly become the focus of educational policy and scientific discussion.
