Realschule - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In Germany, the Realschule was an outgrowth of the rationalism and empiricism of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. In 1747, Hecker established at Berlin an ökonomisch-mathematische Realschule, which may be regarded as the prototype of the Realschule of the twentieth century. Nowadays the Realschule is ranked between Hauptschule (lowest) and Gymnasium (highest) in the secondary school system of Germany. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Realschule   (154 words)

Archived: The Educational System in Germany: Case Study Findings; Chapter 2 - Lower Secondary Schools The curriculum for the Realschule is a 450 page document which describes the education and training goals and philosophy of the school, outlines the curriculum for each grade, and details what is to be covered in each subject, including the number of periods allocated to each topic. Although both Hauptschule and Realschule parents expressed concern about the quality of their children's education, the former tended to have a more laissez-faire attitude toward education, while the latter were actively involved in their son's or daughter's education, including school governance through membership in parents' councils. Realschule parents said that they viewed school as a means of acquiring knowledge that would be useful later in life, to prepare for a profession, and to make their way in society. www.ed.gov /pubs/GermanCaseStudy/chapter2b.html   (5558 words)

Hauptschule - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The main aim of the Hauptschule is to prepare young students for life and focus on practical matters, in contrast to the Gymnasium which concentrates on the more academic topics and wants to prepare its students for going to the university afterwards. As a result, the classes in the Hauptschule concentrate on the basics in mathematics, language (German, of course, and usually English as a foreign language) and common knowledge, and practical matters like how to find a job, how to work with a computer properly or how to cook. Depending on the Bundesland, they can qualify for further education in a Realschule or Gymnasium if their marks are good enough; if not, they can apply for professional job training. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Hauptschule   (269 words)

Keep and Bear Arms Realschule is a sort of management training course aimed at future merchants, and Gymnasium is college prep. Most students went to Hauptschule, which means "main school."

Realschule and Hauptschule students may take a complicated GED-like path to get to university, but for the most part do not. www.keepandbeararms.com /Information/XcIBPrintItem.asp?ID=3393   (836 words)

Germany   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18) The Realschule leaving certificate permits a transition to training courses resulting directly in vocational qualifications or to school types providing a higher education entrance qualification, which are described below within the context of the different school-leaving qualifications awarded at the end of lower secondary school (see 3.3.3). In the Saarland, the Sekundarschule exists alongside the Hauptschule, Realschule, Gymnasium and Gesamtschule and is thus one of the standard school types at the lower secondary level. Requiring a Realschule leaving certificate at a level which entitles the pupil to attend the gymnasiale Oberstufe, or an equivalent qualification, the berufliches Gymnasium or Fachgymnasium with career-oriented specializations usually leads to a qualification granting access to higher education (allgemeine Hochschulreife). land.salzburg.at /htblha/cyber/GERMAN.HTM   (14903 words)

MUNICHFOUND CITY MAGAZINE REALSCHULE REALITIES Whereas districts determine which grade school a child attends, Schmidt advises, "When choosing a secondary school, parents should, above all, take their children to visit the school. Although Anne was coping successfully with frustration and the unfamiliarity of a new school, her homeroom teacher in the Realschule taunted her with her failure. It's difficult to know which way to turn: parents steer their kids into schools for which they are not suited, not realizing that a "good" school does not always guarantee good teaching. www.munichfound.de /new.cfm?news_ID=487   (1762 words)

Hitler - MSN Encarta It was decided that he would attend Realschule, a secondary school that prepared students for further study and emphasized modern languages and technical subjects.

Archived:Contemporary Research in the United States, Germany, and Japan on Five Education Issues: Structure of the ... The Hauptschule, conceived to be on an equal footing with the Realschule and the Gymnasium, was explicitly designed to avoid the traditional disadvantages associated with the Volksschule, which included grades 1 through 8 or 9 (Leschinsky 1994a). Yet unlike the traditional Gymnasium, the Realschule emphasizes theoretical knowledge about the natural and social world (mathematics, science, history, and geography) and not—as was typically the case with the Gymnasium—about cultural traditions (Latin, religion, and German literature). In addition, there are multiple other institutional options for achieving the Realschule qualification, including a 10th year at the Hauptschule, completion of schooling at the end of the lower level Gymnasium, completion of the dual system of vocational education, and evening education for employed people. www.ed.gov /pubs/Research5/Germany/perception_g2.html   (3647 words)

Dr. Barbara Drinck - Online-Texte   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18) The result is a three-dimensional structure: pupils on the "post-qualification plateau" obtain the entitlement to enter one of the vertically-arranged levels of further education. The educational legislation of the states regarding school-leaving certificates imposes important conditions on the Volkshochschulen and, in some cases, sets strict delineations; particularly, for instance, where centralized examination procedures are provided for and in which the Volkshochschulen can only play a preparatory part, as is the case in Baden-Wuerttemberg or Rhineland-Palatinate. There are two types of Telekolleg: Telekolleg I qualifies those who pass to the Realschule certificate, while Telekolleg II leads to the award of a certificate to study at a Fachhochschule (polytechnic). userpage.fu-berlin.de /~drinck/texte/university.htm   (3441 words)
