New Article Published: How Do Different Goals Affect Students’ Perceptions of Collaboration? Results of an Epistemic Network Analysis Study
Computer-supported collaborative learning offers a great potential for enhancing students' knowledge acquisition. According to Fischer and colleagues' (2013) "Script Theory of Guidance," students' goals represent an important influence on their perceptions of collaboration, which in turn affects their actions within collaborative learning situations. However, there is currently little research that examines the impact of goal-related prompts in computer-supported collaborative learning processes.
Tugce Özbek, Martin Greisel, Christina Wekerle, Andreas Gegenfurtner, and Ingo Kollar conducted an empirical study to investigate how different goal-related prompts affect students' perceptions of collaboration and their knowledge acquisition. The article was published in the special issue "Digital Collaborative Learning in General, Higher, and Business Education" of the journal "Frontiers in Psychology" and can be accessed via the following link: https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/psychology/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2024.1410152/full

Digital zu besserer Hochschullehre
Digitalisierung nutzen, um die Lehre an Hochschulen zu verbessern: Dafür hat ein interdisziplinäres Team aus Forschenden und Lehrenden eine Reihe technologischer Innovationen entwickelt. Diese helfen den Studierenden, in ihrem jeweiligen Fach zentrale Kompetenzen zu erwerben – anhand videobasierter Fallbeispiele, durch strukturierte Gruppenarbeit, nützliches Feedback sowie den Einsatz von Künstlicher Intelligenz.

Wissenschaft und Nebenjob vereinen?!
Wir suchen ab 01.10.2023 wissenschaftsinteressierte Studierende (idealerweise Psychologie, Erziehungswissenschaften, Sozialwissenschaften, Lehramt, o.ä.), die sich idealerweise noch relativ am Anfang ihres Studiums befinden und uns bei unseren Forschungsprojekten und in der Lehre langfristig unterstützen wollen (z.B. 40h im Monat).
Neuer Artikel: Förderung evidenzbasierten Wissens bei Lehramtsstudierenden – Digitale Medien als Chance zum Umgang mit Diversität
Digitale Medien können einen positiven Beitrag zum Umgang mit Diversität im Unterricht leisten. Eine wesentliche Rolle, um diese gewinnbringend einzusetzen, spielt dabei das mediendidaktische Wissen von Lehramtsstudierenden. Denn nur wenn die Entscheidung für den Einsatz digitaler Medien evidenzbasiert erfolgt und eine Verknüpfung von fachlichem, technologischem und pädagogischem Wissen gegeben ist, profitieren Lernende bestmöglich von den neuen Technologien.
