Goals/Target group
- Objective: The project develops an empirically based model for the conditions necessary for the successful digitization of science education by examining various factors at different levels.
- Target group: Teachers

In order to stimulate students' subject-specific learning through the design of lessons, the professional knowledge of the teacher is considered a particularly relevant factor (e.g., Baumert & Kunter, 2006; Förtsch, Werner, Kotzebue, & Neuhaus, 2016; Jüttner & Neuhaus, 2013). Teachers design their lessons based on their professional skills. These should also include the use of digital technologies for subject teaching – this technological component is taken into account in various theoretical models, for example (Research Group on Teacher Training, Digital Campus Bavaria, 2017; Schmidt et al., 2009; von Kotzebue et al., 2019, accepted). However, empirical verification of the conditions for the successful use of digital media in science teaching is still largely lacking.
