Project K4D

Brief description

The interdisciplinary project "Kollaboration for Digitization" (short: K4D) is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) as part of the program "Digitization in Teacher Education". The focus is on challenges and opportunities of digitization in the context of the university phase of teacher education. Specifically, subject didactics experts from various teacher education subjects are researching how inclusion-oriented and collaborative digital teaching/learning settings can be successfully designed for the university phase of teacher education. In the social sciences subproject, differential effects of two visualization methods for knowledge-based argumentation in a collaborative-discursive setting will be compared experimentally.

Further information will follow shortly.
