Description

Despite empirical evidence for the effectiveness of competence-based physics lab courses, they frequently still follow historically developed structures pragmatically using the infrastructure given. In this talk, the design of a hands-on didactic workshop for instructors and the experiences made over the years are presented. An integral feature is the development of learning goals for the experiments by the instructors and an alignment of their responsibilities with these goals. Accordingly, the workshop represents a resource-saving solution for promoting the instructors’ didactic competences and establishing learning goals in a bottom-up way automatically ensuring their implementation by the instructors.
