In the seminar, prospective teachers deal with basic concepts of media education, media didactics and media-related school development. Seven self-study courses are used for the initial transfer of knowledge, followed by on-site sessions for discussion and experimentation. The combination of self-study and contact phases makes sense in terms of content and is varied and relieving for students and teachers alike.

The challenge of teaching

Goals of your practical example

- Promotion of media pedagogical competence of prospective teachers
- Achieving a greater depth of processing based on the flipped classroom approach
- Time- and location-independent teaching of declarative knowledge in the form of self-study courses
- Autonomous, individual and needs-orientated acquisition of declarative knowledge by students within the framework of self-study courses.

Prerequisites for implementation

  • Self-learning courses in the form of a link
  • Course materials for the contact phases: Input and scaffolding for the design of the lesson outlines and the discussion rounds
  • H5P and moodle tutorial: PC room/students' own devices
  • Hardware: laptops, projectors
  • Software: moodle, H5P

 

Procedure

The seven media education self-study courses were developed on the basis of theory as part of a research project, evaluated from different perspectives and using different methods, and continually updated. In addition to the five basic courses, two further self-learning courses provide insights into "Cyberbullying in the school context" and an introduction to promoting information literacy. The courses are attractively prepared for the target group and each course has a completion time equivalent to one seminar session (approx. 90 minutes). After completing the courses, students can primarily reproduce newly acquired knowledge.
In the contact phases, students are instructed to apply their acquired knowledge to teaching scenarios and to transfer it to related subjects in discussion groups. In addition, reflection processes regarding their own media-related attitudes are encouraged and students are sensitised to media education tasks in the school context. An introduction to the use of the digital resources moodle and H5P round off the course curriculum.
