This is just a small insight into one of five reports from students on the BA Early Childhood Education programme. In issue 1/2026 of the specialist journal motorik - Zeitschrift für Psychomotorik und Motologie in Entwicklung, Bildung und Gesundheit, they offer lively "insights" into their study-integrated practical phase as part of the service learning project Psychomotorische Förderung. The article by their university teacher / lecturer, Aida Kopic, on "Experience- and action-oriented learning at The Hochschule Niederrhein" in the same issue introduces the seminar structure and frames the five creative reports on the students' experiences.
Curious? The digibib campus licence gives students and staff of the HS Niederrhein free access to all articles in the journal, including the student contributions in issue 1/2026.
