The project “Theoria cum praxi. Promotion of the reflective capacity to act as a Leibniz-Principle for Teacher Education”, short Leibniz-Prinzip, is being promoted as a joint Quality Campaign Teacher Education (QLB - Qualitätsoffensive Lehrerbildung) by the German federal and state governments under the Promotion Registration Number 01JA1806 through funds of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research.
