The focus of the present project is on modeling and measuring domain-specific and generic competencies that future physics teachers acquire during their university studies. The model comprises characteristics and relationships between physics content knowledge, pedagogical content knowledge, and skills for explaining physics phenomena. Based on the model, assessment instruments were developed and applied as paper-and-pencil-tests and videotaped expert-novice dialogues for measuring the competencies in a large sample of physics student teachers. Trials and validation suggest that our instruments are valid in terms of content and construct validities.

JF - KEYCIT 2014 - Key Competencies in Informatics and ICT N2 - A lot has been published about the competencies needed by students in the 21st century (Ravenscroft et al., 2012). However, equally important are the competencies needed by educators in the new era of digital education. We review the key competencies for educators in light of the new methods of teaching and learning proposed by Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) and their on-campus counterparts, Small Private Online Courses (SPOCs).
