Professional networks for the promotion of adaptive, process-related, digitally-supported innovations in STEM teacher education

Brief description

The joint project ‘Professional networks for the promotion of adaptive, process-related, digital-supported innovations in STEM teacher training (MINT-ProNeD)’ is one of the BMBF-funded competence centres for digital and digitally supported teaching in schools and further education. The aim is to establish an integrative overall concept for STEM teacher education in the form of three interdisciplinary and cross-phase networks (further training, teaching development and counselling, Future Innovation Hub). From a professional perspective, these networks focus on the digitally-supported adaptive promotion of process-related skills, as these are regarded as a fundamental basis for the in-depth application and discussion of STEM-related content and also represent a training desideratum.

In the Training Network research-based training programmes for all subjects and school types are being (further) developed and implemented. Based on current approaches of professional learning communities, the Teaching Development and Counselling network is developing a decentralised teaching counselling concept that focuses on the professional integration of common digital technologies. The Future Innovation Hub network addresses future-oriented technologies for STEM lessons (e.g. AI, immersive realities), which are tested together with teachers for potential use in (future) STEM lessons. Within the networks, both socio-theoretical and ethical issues in the design of digital learning environments are consistently reflected through the systematic integration of educational and media sciences.
A cross-cutting Translation & Dissemination work area links the work of the three networks by developing and utilising a sustainable dissemination structure for the MINT-ProNeD offerings together with the state training institutions.

Six centres for teacher education (all Schools of Education in Baden-Württemberg, TU Kaiserslautern) are working together in the joint project to enable excellent and systematic coverage of the various STEM didactics across the different types of schools and subjects. The research basis and quality of the resulting programmes is guaranteed by the involvement of relevant stakeholders (IWM, DIE, DIPF, LMU) and the participating state institutes. Accompanying research across all locations serves to ensure quality assurance in the networks.
