Das BMBF-Verbundprojekt hat sich zusammen mit Kolleg*innen der Universität Bielefeld zum Ziel gesetzt, inklusive Bildung von Kindern durch eine ressourcenorientierte und förderbezogene Diagnostik von Lehrkräften zu verbessern. Insbesondere die fachbezogenen Potentiale des Sachunterrichts sollen hierbei genutzt werden.

The joint research project aims at improving inclusive science education for children through resource-oriented and support-related diagnostics of teachers. It is conducted together with colleagues from Bielefeld University. In particular, the subject-related potentials of primary science education are one major focus of the project.

In the beginning, video vignettes are used to identify the initial subject-related competences of primary science teachers. The results are used to provide professional development modules for pre- and in-service teachers. These modules are examined  and modified in a circular approach. Based on this, theory-practice analysis tools are provided for the first and third phase of teacher education. In the last phase, we will evaluate competence development of in-service teachers.

The digital simulation GEProS aims to support pre-service teachers in developing their diagnostic competence. To this end, students work in a self-regulated manner in the digital learning environment on problem-based learning tasks. They take the role of a 6th grade teacher, collect information about their students, e.g., with the help of report cards and workbooks, observe the students in classroom scenarios, conduct parent interviews, and form a diagnostic judgment about individual students on the basis of this various information. Some of the virtual students show symptoms of a psychological disorder such as dyslexia, ADHD or a depressive episode, to enable pre-service teachers to train how to handle symptoms such as these in students.

Funding: GEProS was initially funded by the project "Heterogeneity as an Opportunity: Setting the Course in Crucial Phases of the Student-Life-Cycle (Heterogenität als Chance: Weichen stellen in entscheidenden Phasen des Student-Life-Cycles )", which was supported in its entirety by funds from the federal-state program "Qualitätspakt Lehre".

Due to the lack of teachers in primary schools, an increasing number of teachers from other disciplines or levels are teaching primary mathematics. Therefore, these teachers often do not have profound subject-specific professional knowledge. Hence, there is a need for professional training in this group of teachers, e.g. difficulties with the strategy of counting numbers.

Tranferring counting numbers into developing imagination-based arithmetic strategies is a complex process. Stimulating and accompanying this process requires a high level of professional expertise of teachers, e. g. the diagnosis and facilitation of students‘ learning on the basis of adequate subject-specific and pedagogical content knowledge.

Therefore, the project LeA focusses on developing and providing further educational training for non-specialist teachers (in cooperation with the district governments of Münster and Detmold). In addition, in-service training materials for learning in the classroom and e-learning phases are developed in collaboration with the German Centre for Teacher Education in Mathematics (DZLM). The LeA project takes into account specific learning difficulties of children, which is the research focus of the project.

Im Projekt werden nationale Studien und internationale Vergleiche zum Zusammenhang zwischen individuellen und kollektiven Selbstwirksamkeitsüberzeugungen von Lehrkräften an inklusiven Schulen einerseits sowie der instruktionsbezogenen Qualität dieser Schulen andererseits angestrebt.

Current surveys indicate that proportionally many more people with disabilities do not participate in sports than people without disabilities. In order to promote sports and thus secure a pool of potential young athletes in para sports, the German Association for Disability Sport carries out various measures (such as taster and talent days) to find people with disabilities and to inspire them to become involved in sports on a long-term basis. It has not yet been clarified to what extent these measures actually contribute to helping more people with disabilities to become involved in sports on a long-term basis, thereby enabling increased recruitment of talent. What is certain is that the existence of access barriers (by which is by no means meant only spatial barriers) has a detrimental effect on the pool of potentially recruitable talent for Paralympic competitive sports. The aim of the ParaTalent research project is to follow participants in such measures over a period of two years in order to investigate whether they find long-term access to organized mass or competitive sports or which barriers have hindered any drop-outs.

''SeiP'' (Selbstinszenierungspraktiken (similar to practices of self-realisation) as access to a self-determined, multimodal competence assessment for educationally disadvantaged young people) focuses on educationally disadvantaged young people within the framework of existing differences including gender, cultural context and precariousness (migration, poverty, refugee experience) and special educational needs. Thus, the project encompasses pre-existing heterogeneities of young people at the transition from school to work. This target group is over-represented in the vocational education system within the area of vocational preparation (§1(2) as well as §68 BBiG (Vocational Training Act, Germany)). The project primarily aims to develop support-oriented competence assessment which, in our opinion, requires a strength- and resource-oriented approach that can be integrated into everyday life. We deliberately place the principles of self-control/self-determination at the centre. Multimodal instruments, meaning especially open and creative self-expression and survey formats, open up opportunities for young people to explore their strengths and particularly to make them visible. Competence assessment thereby becomes a development and learning process in itself. Teachers, trainers and employers must be supported in the documentation, reception and utilization of the results. This involves meaningful integration into learning and development processes as well as subsequent processing for transition processes to training and employment - thereby enabling occupational participation. The project systematically incorporates suitable conceptual frameworks which are tested in practical contexts. Starting from a design-based research and development approach, an arena for innovation (Kremer 2014) will be instituted that brings together academic expertise, practice partners, network partners and transfer partners. Alongside the project, conditions of success are systematically identified, which in turn are incorporated into the development of a prototype rooted in academic research. This is accompanied by the professionalization of the actors involved through collegial training that enables a multiprofessional reappraisal of the understanding of the pre-existing disadvantages, participation and involvement of young people in the transition from school to work.
