Description

As a high demand for specialists in the field of quantum technologies is expected, interest in this area should be encouraged at school. Teachers play a central role in this: they should be empowered to design lessons that introduce pupils to this topic and provide insight into corresponding professional contexts. To this end, a university course has been designed integrating theoretical basics, personal experiences through a didactic industrial internship in quantum technology companies and designing corresponding own lessons. By semi-structured interviews, we investigate the course’s influence on prospective teachers’ attitudes and knowledge. We present the analysis of the interview data.
