The participants take part in the further development of a (learning) game, which reveals the effects of various influences on the educational biography of an individual. The basic structure is intended as a board game, but a computer-based versio is also possible.
The concrete contents of the discussion result from the intended learning outcomes on the one hand (see above) in connection with the individual interests of the participants on the other hand.
Details: The participants will write two papers with the following elements
Part 1: Initial situation & subjective theories
Part 2: Scientific explanation & empirical evidence: On the one hand, you research scientific literature that offers you (theoretical) clarification of the effects you suspect, and on the other hand you research literature that presents empirical evidence that the theoretically explained mechanisms of action have actually been proven.
In addition, the participants give their colleagues feedback on the individual parts of their work in each work phase. Participants can work individually or - preferably - in teams of two. However, the feedback should always be written as an individual.
At the end of the semester each participant presents the most important results of one of the two papers in a short lecture (max. 4 minutes).
The course combines independent work (70-90% of workload) with web meetings (via zoom; 10-30% of workload). The web meetings are optional, apart from the kick-off on 15.10.2020 and the final meeting with the individual presentations on 21.01.2021. Additional web meetings can be arranged if required.
The meetings serve to clarify open questions (in terms of organisation and content), to make decisions and to provide feedback. The acquisition of the necessary knowledge, on the other hand, takes place - almost exclusively - in independent work (Inverted Classroom Model).
Experience has shown that the quality of the papers (and thus the grade) is better if the participants attend some of the optional meetings. The participants should - as far as possible - work in teams of two. Teams can split up their participation in the web meetings and thus gain efficiency.
3 ECTS points correspond to approx. 75 working hours. See https://www.help.gv.at/Portal.Node/hlpd/public/content/16/Seite.160120.html
All papers can be written in German or English. The oral communication in the web meetings takes place in German.
