Über das Projekt

The DFG-funded Collaborative Research Centre SHARP ‘Simulation-based learning in higher education: Advancing research on process diagnostics and personalised interventions’ contributes to theory-building on personalising learning using simulations in higher education. As a joint research context, SHARP focuses on diagnosing and intervening as two highly relevant professional practices in many academic professions.

Subproject A04 investigates pre-service teachers’ learning of diagnosing and intervention skills for programming and debugging. Beginning computer science teachers’ self-regulation processes during simulation-based learning will be investigated as a function of representational scaffolding, which adjusts the salience of cues and additional learning process scaffolding implemented through dashboards with metacognitive prompts. By investigating the personalisation of these scaffolds, the project contributes to our understanding of the design features that are conducive to the self-regulated processing of simulations.
