A Teacher Training Course on Using Digital Media for Acquisition, Visualization and 3D Printing of Complex Data and for Fostering Pupils’ Experimental Skills

In a newly designed course on special questions about multimedia in physics teaching and learning, multicoding, multiple and multimodal (haptovisual) representations of complex measurement data are created (for example, by 3D printing). In addition, the pre-service teachers in this seminar design interactive learning and working materials for pupils. The focus is on selecting, providing and using different task formats and visualizations in a way that is appropriate for the target group. The results of the accompanying pilot study show effective knowledge acquisition, especially in TPACK. Furthermore, the participants were able to implement the acquired learning content in the design of pupil-oriented, inquiry-based learning environments.
