Basically, this training course is an online self-study unit on the potential of digital incremental scaffolds for digital and internally differentiated biology lessons. The training is divided into four basic modules and three advanced modules. The basic modules provide the foundation for optional in-depth study in one or more of the advanced modules. In addition to the online self-study unit, course participants can get in touch with each other via chat forums or synchronous (online) exchange formats.
Content
Course Content
- Basic module 1: Theoretical basics of digital scaffolds, heterogeneity and diclusion
- Basic module 2: Effectiveness of digital scaffolds
- Basic module 3: Conditions for the success of digital scaffolds
- Basic module 4: Digital implementation of incremental scaffolds with Moodle, H5P and QR learning aid
- Advanced module Knowledge Acquisition: Introduction to the competence area of Knowledge Acquisition and practical examples of implementation in experimentation
- Advanced module Communication: Introduction to the competence area of Communication and practical examples of implementation in the subject area of genetics
- Advanced module Assessment: Introduction to the competence area of Assessment and examples of application in the subject area of Ethics
Course Goals
- The training is intended to transfer knowledge on heterogeneity sensitization and diclusion and focus on inclusive and appropriate biology lessons that take into account the needs of all learners.
- The participating (prospective) biology teachers will be given the opportunity to develop or deepen digital skills with regard to internally differentiated biology lessons.
- In addition to professionalization in the use of digital scaffolds, the participating teachers acquire media skills in dealing with the digital applications presented.
Previous Knowledge
Previous knowledge is not required.
Course Procedure
The training starts on 15th September 2024.
With a total of 8 sessions, it has a modular structure and can be paused at any time and continued later on.
After a short introduction, the four basic modules can be completed independently in the following lessons. After each lesson, knowledge is checked by means of a self-assessment. Once the four basic modules have been completed, one or more of the advanced modules can be selected for the relevant area of competence. In this context, course participants are enabled to create their own digital teaching and learning materials. If desired, this process can be accompanied by synchronous online exchanges.
Certificate
For actively participating in the course you will receive an automatic certificate which includes your username, the course name as well as the completed lessons. We want to point out that this certificate merely confirms that the user answered at least 75% of the self-assessment questions correctly.Licence

Partners
The ComeMINT network is part of the competence network lernen:digital, which is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research and financed by the European Union (NextGenerationEU).
All joint projects of the STEM Competence Center focus on the research-based development of further education and training courses for teachers and multipliers with a focus on the design of digitally supported teaching in the subjects of mathematics, computer science, natural sciences, general education and technology. The ComeMINT Network Biology has implemented a concept for the professionalization of (prospective) biology teachers in the areas of digitalization and heterogeneity sensitivity. The participants of the ComeMINT Network Biology are responsible for the content of this training course.
As part of the iterative process of conceptualization of the training, the content of this training was evaluated in the form of online workshops within the BiConnected training series at Bielefeld University and subsequently adapted based on the feedback.
