Doctorate and First Joint Postdoc-Position

Anja Augsdörfer has submitted her cumulative dissertation entitled “Promoting the Situation-Specific Lesson Planning and Coaching Skills of Prospective Teachers and Mentors in Vocational Education: a Video-Based Intervention Study” and passed her oral defense with high distinction on 28. February 2019 under my supervision. She has thus been the first doctoral candidate from the state-funded project “Professional teachers’ actions to promote subject-based learning under changing social conditions (ProfaLe)” to complete her doctorate and will start the first ever Joint Postdoc-Position at Universität Hamburg and Macquarie University on 01. April 2019.

Anja made the necessary contacts during a short research stay at Macquarie University in the course of her doctoral project and decided to move back to Australia to work on a project focusing on “Computational Thinking Pedagogies” together with Associate Professor Matt Bower. The Joint Postdoc position has been newly created under the umbrella of the strategic partnership between Hamburg and Macquarie for this purpose.

Congratulations, Anja!

We wish you all the best for your stay in Sydney and look forward to welcoming you back in Hamburg!

Learning with Digital Media

Last week I attended the 5th Conference on “Digital Media – Analogue Reality”, a conference series organised by the Federal Insitute for Vocational Education and Training, this time in collaboration with the largest German supermarket corporation EDEKA. This 5th edition focused on learning and teaching environments in commercial occupations. A lot of good ideas from both businesses and vocational schools attracted my attention. However, as shown by the following critical but constructive reflections, there is still much to be done.

Handbook “Language in Education”

Jörg Kilian, Birgit Brouer und Dina Lüttenberg have published a Handbook on Language in Education in a German publication series called Handbooks on Linguistic Knowledge, to which I contributed with my article “The Linguistic Construcion of Socially Relevant Knowledge for Vocational Education Illustrated by Selected Examples (Sprachliche Konstruktion gesellschaftlich relevanten Wissens für die berufliche Bildung an ausgewählten Beispielen)”.

Teacher training as a key to digitisation of society

The conference „Zukunftssicherung Digitaler Kompetenzen – Herausforderung für Wirtschaft und Bildung“ [safeguarding the future of digital competences – challenges for economy and education], held on 27 November 2014 in Hannover by eBusiness-Lotse and partners, focused on how to disseminate eBusiness knowledge and skills in Lower Saxony. Since teachers are important multipliers, my approach ist to identify teacher training as a potential key factor. Still the current state of computer competences and use at school is quite sobering, as the ICILS 2013 study shows. My German presentation contains the most important study results with regard to teacher training and possible ways out of the crisis:
