TY - JOUR A1 - Gerber, Sebastian A1 - Quarder, Jascha A1 - Greefrath, Gilbert A1 - Siller, Hans-Stefan T1 - Promoting adaptive intervention competence for teaching simulations and mathematical modelling with digital tools BT - theoretical background and empirical analysis of a university course in teacher education JF - Frontiers in Education N2 - Providing adaptive, independence-preserving and theory-guided support to students in dealing with real-world problems in mathematics lessons is a major challenge for teachers in their professional practice. This paper examines this challenge in the context of simulations and mathematical modelling with digital tools: in addition to mathematical difficulties when autonomously working out individual solutions, students may also experience challenges when using digital tools. These challenges need to be closely examined and diagnosed, and might – if necessary – have to be overcome by intervention in such a way that the students can subsequently continue working independently. Thus, if a difficulty arises in the working process, two knowledge dimensions are necessary in order to provide adapted support to students. For teaching simulations and mathematical modelling with digital tools, more specifically, these knowledge dimensions are: pedagogical content knowledge about simulation and modelling processes supported by digital tools (this includes knowledge about phases and difficulties in the working process) and pedagogical content knowledge about interventions during the mentioned processes (focussing on characteristics of suitable interventions as well as their implementation and effects on the students’ working process). The two knowledge dimensions represent cognitive dispositions as the basis for the conceptualisation and operationalisation of a so-called adaptive intervention competence for teaching simulations and mathematical modelling with digital tools. In our article, we present a domain-specific process model and distinguish different types of teacher interventions. Then we describe the design and content of a university course at two German universities aiming to promote this domain-specific professional adaptive intervention competence, among others. In a study using a quasi-experimental pre-post design (N = 146), we confirm that the structure of cognitive dispositions of adaptive intervention competence for teaching simulations and mathematical modelling with digital tools can be described empirically by a two-dimensional model. In addition, the effectiveness of the course is examined and confirmed quantitatively. Finally, the results are discussed, especially against the background of the sample and the research design, and conclusions are derived for possibilities of promoting professional adaptive intervention competence in university courses.

JF - Zeitschrift für Grundschulforschung N2 - Die medienpädagogische Kompetenz angehender Lehrkräfte für die Primarstufe ist bislang nur ansatzweise erforscht und erfordert spezifische Zugänge. Die hier vorgestellte quantitative Studie gibt einen Einblick, mit welchen mediendidaktischen Überzeugungen und motivationalen Orientierungen als zentrale und handlungsrelevante Bereiche professioneller Kompetenz Studierende der Grundschuldidaktik (N = 344) ins Lehramtsstudium starten, wie diese Konstrukte miteinander in Verbindung stehen und welche Prädiktoren dafür identifiziert werden können. In der Befragung wird das Tablet als exemplarisches digitales Endgerät gewählt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass sich die angehenden Lehrkräfte als kompetent im Umgang mit dem Tablet einschätzen und dem Tableteinsatz in der Schule tendenziell positiv gegenüberstehen, wohingegen sie diesen im Kontext des Anfangsunterrichts kritisch sehen. N2 - The media pedagogical competence of future teachers for primary education has hardly been explored yet. Moreover, it requires specific approaches. In this article, we present a quantitative study with students who aim to become teachers for primary education at the beginning of their teaching studies (N = 344). We provide an overview of their media didactical beliefs and motivational orientations as central and action-relevant areas of professional competence. We furthermore show how these concepts are related to each other and identify predictors for our constructs of investigation. In the study, the tablet was chosen as an exemplary digital device. The results show that prospective teachers consider themselves to be competent in using the tablet and have a positive attitude toward the use of tablets in the classroom, whereas they view them critically in the context of initial instruction.

The paper discusses a pedagogical concept specifically aiming at the interdisciplinary education of pre-service teachers in collaboration with human-computer interaction students. The students’ overarching goal is the interdisciplinary realization and integration of VR/AR learning environments in teaching and learning concepts. To assist this approach, we developed a specific tutorial guiding the developmental process. We evaluate and validate the effectiveness of the overall pedagogical concept by analyzing the change in attitudes regarding 1) the use of VR/AR for educational purposes and in competencies and content knowledge regarding 2) media didactics and 3) technology. Our results indicate a significant improvement in the knowledge of media didactics and technology. We further report on four STEM learning environments that have been developed during the seminar.
