Digital lessons can help track individual student learning progression, analyze the extent to which they are productive and report this information back to teachers. But how can this individual learning progression and the learning difficulties that arise in the process be depicted? The research project AFLEK "Analyse und Förderung von Lernverläufen zur Entwicklung von Kompetenzen" (Analysis and Support of Learning Trajectories for the Development of Competencies) is currently looking for answers to this issue. The interdisciplinary project team uses so-called teacher dashboards to provide physics teachers with almost real-time feedback on the learning progress of their students. The information from digital teaching units helps identify productive and unproductive learning progression; this information can then help to automatically recolonize learning difficulties und derive feedback for the teachers to support more productive…

New Pub: Effective Use of Learner-Generated Data in Teacher Training Activities

Learning Analytics, Publication, Report, Webinar
How can data be utilized in teacher training in an effective and ethical manner? This question was addressed by Hendrik Drachsler, 3 teacher trainers and the European Schoolnet Academy team at the webinar “Effective Use of Data in Teacher Training” held on the 18th and 19th of January 2023. One of the main focuses of the webinar was the newly-published report "Effective Use of Learner-Generated Data in Teacher Training Activities", written by Hendrik Drachsler. The report presents an overview of the concepts and applications of learner-generated data (learning analytics) and gives potential training scenarios for teacher training programs. Feel free to check out this report to learn more about learning analytics and how this has been and can be used in training: Effective Use of Learner-Generated Data in Teacher Training…

Seasons Greetings and Thanks for a great 2022

Seasons Greetings and Thanks for a great 2022

Team
As the year 2022 nears its end, we take a few moments to reflect on what the year has brought us. Throughout the year we have had the pleasure of meeting people who have enriched our (research) lives: our 2 visiting guest researchers Josè Aznarte and Andrea Zanellati, our intern Lukas Menzel and our 2 new colleagues Stefan Hummel and Nina Mouhammad. Besides having guests, some team members were also guests themselves, for example Daniele Di Mitri who was a guest researcher in the USA. During the year the AR4STEAM project ended successfully and we started 2 new projects ML2MT and HyTea. We took part in around 20 events over the year, published 8 conference papers, 13 journal papers and 2 book chapters. We took part in 3 interviews and…

New Pub: Are the World Health Organization’s Patient Safety Learning Objectives Still Up-to-Date

Empirical Study, Higher Education, Journal, medical education, Open access, Publication
Ten-cluster map labeled with an MDS point map.In this article published in the Journal of Patient Safety the authors Lina Vogt, Slavi Stoyanov, Jochen Bergs, Hanna Schröder, Hendrik Drachsler, Martin Klasen and Saša Sopka investigate whether the overall topics and the specific learning objectives of the WHO Patient Safety Curriculum Guide are still applicable. They also examine what importance is attached to these and how difficult they are to achieve. Background The World Health Organization (WHO) Patient Safety Curriculum Guide defines learning objectives for patient safety. Current implementation in healthcare education is insufficient. Possible explanations may be obsolescence and/or a shift in needs. We investigated whether overarching topics and specific learning objectives of the WHO Patient Safety Curriculum Guide are still up-to-date, their attributed importance, and their perceived difficulty to…

The EduTec team wishes you a very merry Christmas and a happy new year!

Team
As we look back at this past year 2021, we look back on a year filled with many moments that have brought us joy, pride and contentment. Joy because of the new members that have joined our EduTec team in the past year that have enriched us not only academically but also on a personal level. Pride because of highlights such as a best paper award at the LAK21 conference, Daniele Di Mitri being elected AI Newcomer 2021 at the KI-Camp 2021 and Dana Kube being chosen as a role model from the women network “net4tec” to name a few. Contentment because despite the many restrictions the pandemic has caused in the past year, we have managed to accomplish quite a lot: over 20 publications; the organization of events such…
