Master in Ludwig Maximilian University: I don't know where to start, how to prepare documents.

I

Here's the thing: I don't know how to submit "Detailed description of your prior knowledge and experience in the fields of Learning Sciences, Scientific Research Methods and Statistics, and Academic Skills". I have been teaching for only 1 year and don't know what these means. I mean, I'm just a freelance teacher. But I DO want to pursue my goal and become an educational psychologist. I read a lot about it, try to expand my knowledge. But... I'm alone. I don't have anyone to guide me, give feedback, advice.

Could you give me some advice? Should I consult an academic? What should I do now?

Hi Inji
I think they want to know about the courses / modules you have taken in those areas during your Bachelors degree / teacher training course. They want to know whether you have covered enough of what they cover in their undergraduate degree to cope with the Masters. I would list all the education, research methods, statistics classes you have taken (if there's an online syllabus on your undergraduate university's website perhaps provide links, if not just give a couple of lines on what was covered) and if you wrote a dissertation / research project or anything like that perhaps you could give the title and abstract? I assume you have to send a transcript too so it's the content rather than the marks you got that they are interested in.

Oh, now I see... Thank you so much for your detailed explanation. It helped a lot.
