Short description (English)

This project addresses the challenge to develop new and necessary digital competences of vocational school teachers in the commercial domain. At first, it must be clarified what the resulting requirements of digitization for vocational teachers are and how to operationalize "digital competences" with a focus on the specific needs in the commercial domain. The result of the project will be an empirically validated competence model for Teachers in vocational schools who are teaching in the commercial domain. The empirical validation of the competence model will be based on a systematic pilot study with a sample of about 300 teachers from at least 4 different pilot schools. The conceptualization and design of suitable training measures for teachers on media-based education requires a concrete discussion and for-mulation of the requisite competences. The results of the pilot study will provide the baseline evaluation as a comparison and planning base for monitoring and evaluating planned interventions for a possible next phase.
