Diversity in the pedagogical-didactic training of physical education teachers - Development and use of a teaching concept for inclusion in the first phase of teacher training.

The urgency of dealing with inclusion lies in the UN CRPD, which was signed in 2009 and which, among other things, provides a legal framework for the demand for joint education (§24). With it, the dimension of disability as a diversity feature is also taken into account in general education schools and thus also in physical education. Working with a heterogeneous sports class requires not only from the institution school, but also from the teachers a high competence in dealing with the diversity of their students.

The aim of the project is to develop and test a teaching concept on inclusion in physical education for the first phase of teacher training. Two guiding questions are the focus of interest:

  1. How can the topic of inclusion be embedded in the first phase of physical education teacher training (teaching concept)?
  2. What effects do the students experience as a result of participating in the course (impact analysis)?

In order to answer the first guiding question, an event concept will be developed within the framework of physical education teacher training at the University of Kassel. In order to answer the second guiding question about the impact, quantitative and qualitative research methods will be used and evaluated by means of a trial-control group design.
