Promotion of Prospective Teachers' Didactic (Adaptive) Competencies Using Digital Multimedia Learning Packages: An Evaluation Study

• In Event: Digital Technology in Education From an International Perspective

Abstract

Digital learning tools have become essential elements of teaching, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Innovative teaching-learning tools are particularly needed in higher edu-cation to support the teaching and learning of highly heterogeneous student groups. Thereby, the promotion of action-oriented competencies is a central goal, especially in teacher education, where classroom practice is not included to a satisfactory extent in higher education curricula. A current research project develops and evaluates digital multimedia learning packages for teacher education to effectively foster adaptive teaching competencies. Using a pre-post design, we examined use and effectiveness of the newly developed and implemented multi-media learning packages (focusing on self-regulated learning) in teacher education. Based on our findings, implications for further research and teacher training are drawn.
