Project description:Although conducting parental conversations is gaining in importance, university teaching programs that specifically promote conversation skills in teacher education are rare. Appropriate didactic approaches have been emerging for some time based on intervention studies. The problem is that the teaching concepts are often not well documented and thus cannot be transferred 1:1 to university teaching. In the project "ProfKom-L" (funded by the Vodafone Foundation) the implementation of a teaching module in teacher training was tested in cooperation (TU Munich, PH and University of Fribourg, University of Bamberg). In addition to working with videos, the teaching concept, which originates from medical didactics, provides for the inclusion of actor conversations, which is unrealistic in teacher training in the long term due to a lack of resources. In KuLe-Parents, the effectiveness of the innovative teaching module is therefore to be tested on a larger sample. In order to improve the manageability for a long-term implementation in teacher education, the concept of actor talk will be compared with conversations (role plays) among students. The results will be used for the development of further short interventions.
