The DiWiBe project (understanding and teaching the digitalization of economic and commercial occupational fields) serves to professionalize teachers in vocational schools in the field of digitalization. The project is one of 14 sub-projects in the project network "WÖRLD - Wirtschaftspädagogik und Ökonomische Bildung: Lehrkräftebildung und Unterricht digital", which is headed by the Department of Business Education with a focus on Vocational Teaching and Learning(Prof. Dr. Jens Klusmeyer) in FB07 at the University of Kassel.

The Department of Vocational and Business Education(Prof. Dr. Michael Goller) is carrying out the sub-project together with the Chair of Business Education at the Technical University of Munich(Prof. Dr. Manuel Förster). For the project duration from 01.06.2023 - 31.12.2025, the project team has set itself the goal of designing further training courses for teachers in the context of the increasing digitalization of work (Work 4.0, Industry 4.0). In the field of business and commercial training occupations, digital, hybrid and face-to-face teaching and learning opportunities for teachers are to be developed with the involvement of the digital teaching and learning laboratory (DigiLLab - https://www.edu.sot.tum.de/edu/forschung-innovation/tum-digillab/) at the Technical University of Munich and made usable regardless of location.

The sub-project in the WÖRLD consortium at the University of Kassel in the FG Vocational and Business Education is funded by the BMBF with EUR 285,406, with the project partner from Munich having approximately the same amount available to achieve the objectives mentioned.

Objective of the DiWiBe sub-project

Sub-project 13 "DiWiBe" aims to support teachers at vocational schools in incorporating the digital transformation of economic and commercial spheres into their own lessons. The DigiLLab infrastructure set up by the Technical University of Munich - a digital teaching and learning laboratory in which different scenarios of digitalized societies can be experienced using physical infrastructure - will be used. Building on this, the existing teaching and learning resources on the digitalization of work and Industry 4.0 are to be further developed for teacher training and made usable for the didactics of business education and economic education regardless of location. The focus is on operational business processes and their mapping in ERP systems as well as the theoretical framing in the context of digitalization.

The course is being developed as an evidence-based blended learning format, consisting of attendance phases and a digital self-study environment. The first rounds will take place in winter semester 2023/2024 at the TU Munich and in summer semester 2024 at the University of Kassel. Further iterative comparisons will take place until the end of the project at the end of 2025 so that the best possible impact can be achieved with the training courses. The training and additional teaching/learning resources will be made available to teachers throughout Germany free of charge as open educational resources.
