Didactic double-decker for digital education in STEM subjects
In order for teachers to be able to explore and utilise the opportunities offered by new digital forms of teaching and overcome the associated challenges, the focus must be placed on the qualification of these very teachers. According to the latest research, this also requires new formats of further training that can support the majority of teachers on the path to digital education. RWTH Aachen University and the universities of Giessen, Oldenburg and Potsdam would like to jointly make significant contributions to the STEM sector.
Work package A.1: Computing Science lessons in grades 3 to 6
Work package A1 of the BMBF-funded joint project D4MINT focusses on Computing Science education in grades 3 to 6.
Teacher training programmes in the subject of general studies and Computing Science are to be further developed and evaluated on the basis of concepts and materials that have already been tested.
On the one hand, the training courses are aimed at teachers who teach Computing Science at secondary level I in grades 5 and 6. On the other hand, teachers at primary schools are to receive further training in the subject of general studies to introduce primary school pupils to basic computer science education.
Measures:
- Development of further training concepts for teachers, utilising extensive preliminary work from the teacher training quality offensive, experience from various school trials and taking into account the concept of the "Computer Science in Schools" programme. school trials and taking into account the concept of didactic double-deckers for a compulsory subject Computing Science
- Realisation of the training courses at least in the regions of Aachen and Oldenburg
- Comparison and evaluation of different settings with regard to teachers' self-efficacy expectations
- Subsequently: Transfer to at least two other Federal States
