Research focus

In several research and development projects - often financed by third-party funding and in co-operation with other subject didactics - factors for the improvement of Computing Science as a school subject are investigated. These factors can be assigned to one of the following major sub-areas that determine the teaching of Computing Science: The teacher's view, the student's view and the material.

The aim is to develop an overall concept for Computing Science education that extends from the primary level to the further education of Computing Science teachers and places the perspective and needs of the respective learners at the centre. Therefore, research into pupils' perceptions of Computing Science as well as the analysis and development of teaching materials, teaching methods and conditions for teacher training in Computing Science are all part of the department's research.

In addition, a teacher training centre and a student centre for Computing Science are currently being set up and are closely involved in the research projects. This so-called symbiotic implementation strategy always focuses on the goal of not only gaining new insights through research, but also integrating these into school practice at the same time.

Habilitation project: Following on from the dissertation project Teaching sustainable development: perceptions and impact measurement (Maurer, 2020), Ms Maurer's habilitation project will take a closer look at teacher training in Oldenburg. Everyday perceptions and attitudes are essential in order to analyse an overall picture of all actors involved across all subject profiles in order to improve teacher training in the long term.

The accompanying research for Ole+ will also focus on analysing the interaction between teachers and students in various STEM teaching and learning labs. Motivational competences play a central role here, which will be examined in particular on the theory-practice day using various latent variables for their interdependencies in a path model. A practical example (intervention study) will also be used to promote and analyse environmental skills and evaluation skills between students and pupils.

As part of Ms Münch-Manková's research project, three strands of research on language education and support in subject teaching are being pursued:

1. Digitally supported language-sensitive subject teaching (context I: university didactics: target group: students),
2. Classroom discussions in subject lessons as a linguistic-discursive acquisition context for DaZ pupils (context II: videography in physics lessons and in the subject of values and norms; target group: pupils),
3. Professionalisation in the area of language education and promotion/teacher language awareness (context III: university teaching, target group: university lecturers).
