The project KIWi-MOOC, funded by the BMBF, is a sub-project in the project network "WÖRLD" between the Institute of business education and management training and Professor Josef Guggemos (PH Schwäbisch Gmünd). "WÖRLD" is headed by Professor Klusmeyer (Kassel University) and is part of the competence network lernen:digital. It consists of 14 sub-projects (sp) from the fields of economics and business education. The central objective of KIWi-MOOC is the development and evaluation of massive open online courses to promote AI-related competencies among (prospective) business teachers.
Project description
AI has two important implications for teachers: On the one hand, teachers can use AI to improve learning processes; on the other hand, they have the task of preparing learners for a living and working environment that is increasingly shaped by AI. Findings show that economic teachers lack the relevant competencies.
The sub-project "Massive Open Online Course on the promotion and acquisition of AI competencies in the domain of economics" (KIWi-MOOC) therefore addresses:
-
the promotion of competencies in the field of AI among teachers at all levels of teacher training and
- the measurement of competence levels and improvements.
The teaching material developed by the applicant JProf. Dr. Josef Guggemos at the St. Gallen University forms the basis for the design-based research approach. Scales developed by the applicant Professor Roland Happ are adapted and used for the formative assessment of competencies. The MOOC is used in all stages of teacher training:
- In the 1st stage of teacher training, the MOOC is integrated into university teaching. The prospective economic teachers learn largely self-directed and are supported as needed.
- In the 2nd stage, the MOOC will be integrated into the curriculum of the seminars. Teachers in the teaching profession use the MOOC in a completely self-directed manner.
The project runs from 1 June 2023 to 31 December 2025.
