In order to identify important competencies required for teaching computer science in schools, the research project KUI (Competencies for Teaching Computer Science) granted by the Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) was founded. At this point in time, there is no consistent competency model for training computer science pre-service teachers in Germany. The development of an adequate model is an important step to establish outcome-oriented guidelines and curricula recommendations. The first framework of a competency model is structured into the dimensions of subject matter knowledge (CK), pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) and non-cognitive competencies (NCC). This article concentrates on the development of the PCK and NCC competency model. It describes our methodological approach, our results of expert interviews to refine the model, and shows an overview of the first competency definitions.
This poster presents the methodology and the first results of the KUI-Project that aims to develop a competency model for teaching CS in schools. By means of qualitative content analysis we are developing a structured model for this purpose. We present first results of the investigation of German curricula for teacher education.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
