Following research on the acquisition of mathematical modelling competence by secondary school students, the ModiWe project will investigate the structure and acquisition of modelling competence with a digital mathematics tool. While modelling competence without the use of digital tools can be empirically described as a four-dimensional construct of sub-competences, this is an open question for modelling competence with a digital tool. In ModiWe, the structure of modelling competence with digital tools is therefore to be empirically determined with the help of a new test instrument and the influence of the use of a digital tool in mathematical modelling, compared to modelling without digital tools, on the acquisition of modelling competence with digital tools is to be investigated.

Das Projekt SoFi zielt auf die Entwicklung qualitätsgesicherter Lehr-Lern-Arrangements sozial-inklusiver finanzieller Bildung für die Ankerfächer ökonomischer Bildung sowie den Mathematikunterricht. Die Lehr-Lern-Arrangements fokussieren exemplarische Ausschnitte der Inhaltsfelder auf Basis des Kompetenzrahmens.

The DEM project aims to bring the use of digital textbooks to the next level: providing practical guidelines and specific samples of how to develop and produce a digital textbook considering all didactical, design, technical and accessibility aspects. In other words, the DEM project permits digital textbooks that meet the needs of all the stakeholders involved in the production and use of digital schoolbooks.

The multidisciplinary partners will develop and create the outcomes of the project at international working meetings, in online meetings and in individual working groups during the entire project. Subsequently, the outcomes will be presented to technical-pedagogical experts as well as to publishers, parents, and students on the project website, in social media, in a series of publications, and at national and international conferences and meetings.

In addition to a scientific analysis of the digital textbook, which describes the current state of development and evaluates existing implementations, the DEM project develops practical guidelines that illustrate how digital, accessible textbooks should be created. Prototypes will be the practical implementation of the guidelines and are dedicated to specific examples and problems of everyday school life.
