Digital Casebooks - Case-based Self-learning Environments to Promote Theory-Practice Transfer in Teacher Education Studies
University teaching is still dominated by theoretical knowledge transfer. This is especially contrary to the strong professional orientation of student teachers. Questions such as "What do I do if ... happens?" are often answered in educational science teaching that this cannot be answered in a blanket manner, but requires consideration of the individual case.
The aim of the teaching innovation is therefore to strengthen the theory-practice link. To this end, digital casebooks are being developed in which theoretical knowledge is to be applied to practical school issues on the basis of a concrete case study. In order to take the heterogeneity of the students into account, the digital casebooks will be designed in a multimodal, interactive and barrier-free way using digital technologies. Another focus will be on supporting self-regulated learning. After testing the digital casebooks on three practice-relevant topics, the teaching innovation will be made usable for other disciplines within and outside of teacher education.
