A main goal of the course was to enable the students to solve reaction mechanisms. To achieve the goals of the course, several games were specially designed and used. The course was conducted at a German university with ca. 30 students who participated voluntarily. The course was evaluated by several tools: students' products were collected in the course, there were two pre/post-tests, and additionally, interviews on the strategy of designing reaction mechanisms were conducted. The performance of the teacher and the self-assessment of the students were also part of the evaluation. The results of the written exam were compared with the results of the bachelor chemistry major students. The course "Training OC" was rated very well by the students. They were of the opinion that they learned the application of basic concepts taught in this course. This is supported by the results of the evaluation and the written exams. The course concept of Training OC will therefore become a permanent part of the course "Organic Chemistry I" which will be redesigned for the next round in 2020-21.}, language = {en} } @article{Hermanns2021, author = {Hermanns, Jolanda}, title = {The task navigator following the STRAKNAP concept}, series = {Journal of chemical education / Division of Chemical Education, Inc., American Chemical Society}, volume = {98}, journal = {Journal of chemical education / Division of Chemical Education, Inc., American Chemical Society}, number = {4}, publisher = {American Chemical Society}, address = {Washington}, issn = {0021-9584}, doi = {10.1021/acs.jchemed.0c01162}, pages = {1077 -- 1087}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Educational Scaffolding was first mentioned in 1976 by Wood et al. Several examples for scaffolding in chemistry are also known from the literature. As written scaffolds, stepped supporting tools to support students while solving problems in organic chemistry were developed, applied, and evaluated. Although the students rated the tool as very helpful, a think-aloud study showed that the support given by this scaffold was not sufficient. As a further development of stepped supporting tools, task navigators were therefore developed, applied, and evaluated. This new scaffold gives tips on strategy, knowledge, and application of knowledge after the STRAKNAP concept. The evaluation of this tool shows that the students rated the tool as being very helpful. A think-aloud study showed that the scaffold supports the students while they solve a problem. Because of the stepwise construction of the task navigators and the providing of the knowledge needed for the application, the students can solve parts of the task successfully even if they do not solve all parts correctly; the students can always start from scratch. When students use the tool regularly, their knowledge of organic chemistry increases compared to students who did not use the tool at all. The task navigator is not only a scaffold for the content of the task but also for the development of methodological competences on the field of strategies and applying knowledge.}, language = {en} } @article{HermannsKeller2021, author = {Hermanns, Jolanda and Keller, David}, title = {School-related content knowledge in organic chemistry}, series = {Journal of chemical education / Division of Chemical Education, Inc., American Chemical Society}, volume = {98}, journal = {Journal of chemical education / Division of Chemical Education, Inc., American Chemical Society}, number = {3}, publisher = {American Chemical Society}, address = {Washington}, issn = {0021-9584}, doi = {10.1021/acs.jchemed.0c01415}, pages = {763 -- 773}, year = {2021}, abstract = {In this paper the development, use, and evaluation of tasks based on the construct of school-related content knowledge are described. The tasks were used in seminars on organic chemistry for bachelor and master preservice chemistry teachers at a German university. For the evaluation a questionnaire with open and closed items was used. The tasks were rated by the preservice chemistry teachers as relevant for their future profession as a chemistry teacher if the content of the tasks is part of the school curriculum. If the content does not belong to the school curriculum, they rated the nature of the tasks still as relevant; they seem to recognize the importance of conceptual knowledge for their future profession. However, the master's preservice teachers argued with this conceptual knowledge more often than the bachelor's preservice teachers. Although the study is cross-sectional, a certain shift from the focus on the content to conceptual knowledge from bachelor's to master's preservice teachers can be observed.}, language = {en} } @techreport{ApelojgBosseGeschkeetal.2021, type = {Working Paper}, author = {Apelojg, Benjamin and Bosse, Stefanie and Geschke, Doreen and Hausner, Christian and Jennek, Julia and Liebner, Saskia and Lipka, Marlies and Marx, Alexandra and Pl{\"o}tner, Kathleen and Reimann, Christina and Sievert, Florian and Sp{\"o}rer, Nadine and Teke, G{\"u}lay and V{\"o}lkner, Katrin and Wabnitz, Juliane and Waschke, Lene and Zielke, Sonja and Zrenner, Laura}, title = {Rahmenkonzept der Universit{\"a}tsschule Potsdam}, editor = {Sp{\"o}rer, Nadine and V{\"o}lkner, Katrin}, organization = {Konzeptteam Universit{\"a}tsschule Potsdam}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-49138}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-491380}, pages = {46}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Das Rahmenkonzept der Universit{\"a}tsschule Potsdam beschreibt die Wertegrundlage und das p{\"a}dagogisch-didaktische sowie das wissenschaftliche Fundament einer zu gr{\"u}ndenden Universit{\"a}tsschule Potsdam.

This was the first program of its kind in Germany, following an influx of people being forced to migrate from countries such as Syria, Afghanistan, and Iraq in 2015. The program responded to these international events by providing training, work, and refuge for migrants who already had teaching experience in their home countries.
