The focus of this article are the results of the measurement of pedagogical competencies of students of theology who have completed an internship in Germany. The educational knowledge, competence self-assessments and their development as well as the assessment of the goals achieved by students in the internship are considered, taking into account the orientation of the teacher education course towards a school type. In order to contextualize the results of the measurement of educational knowledge and those of the survey of competence self-assessments (N = 304), ideas are shown how the relationship between knowledge and ability is constituted and findings on the type of school-specific professionalization are summarized. Subsequently, hypotheses are derived, the design of the study, the method and the test instruments are described, the results are presented and discussed. Contrary to expectations, the results show that neither the educational science knowledge, the competence self-assessments and their development nor the assessment of the goals achieved in the internship by prospective teachers differ depending on the type of school. The discussion relates to on the structure of the teacher training courses, the mental figures for the development of skills and the conception of the measuring instruments.
