The project deals with questions regarding the design and effects of digitization-related teacher training and professional development and at the same time addresses the skills developed by teachers for planning and designing digital and hybrid lessons. With the 16 participating professorships from seven federal states, the largest research consortium on this topic in Germany is being created, embedded in the 'Competence Center for Digital and Digitally Supported Teaching in Schools and Continuing Education in Languages, Social Sciences and Economics' of the 'Kompetenzverbund lernen:digital'. Based on the DPACK model, the 14 sub-projects are developing cross-phase, digital and hybrid teacher training courses over several design cycles. These individual activities are examined at the consortium level in the 'WÖRLD House' for successful mechanisms of (knowledge) transfer between partners within and outside the consortium.

Description: Students develop complex learning contexts and situations based on the value creation processes of a model company. They use an enterprise resource planning system that provides software-based support for the planning, control and optimization of entrepreneurial resource deployment. Here, professional, technical and pedagogical-didactic skills are developed in the students in a digitally supported learning environment to be modeled, which is based on the potential of virtual classrooms.
