Elective Course: ICT-Supported Teaching and Learning
Objective:
This elective course will offer an introduction into methods of teaching and learning based
on new information and communication technologies (ICT). The goal is to gain a possible
educational value-added vis-à-vis “conventional” teaching technologies and methods. The
psychological approaches of behaviourism, cognitivism and constructivism will be discussed
with regard to their significance for ICT-supported learning in order to draw the necessary
conclusions and to determine application criteria for selecting educational multimedia
software and for developing new organisational structures of instruction which differentiates
between and adapts to individual needs. Another issue to be discussed will be the different
schemes for using computers in certain subjects. We will also look at possible changes in
the roles of students and teachers and will examine the new forms of interaction resulting
from the use of ICT with regard to their social compatibility.
