Teach2Practice
Video-supported theory-practice mediation in the subject of sport
Ongoing project - open for funding
Support (prospective) teachers in making theory visible and practice effective - with freely accessible, evaluated digital media for the subject of sport.
This is what it's all about
New approaches in the subject of sport through scientifically evaluated, freely accessible teaching-learning videos.
Student teachers at the Institute of Sports and Sports Science (IfSS) at KIT are developing digital teaching-learning videos for teaching the theory and practice of selected sports - with a focus on the sports science disciplines of biomechanics, motor skills and training science.
The resulting materials are made freely available as an Open Educational Resource (OER) and scientifically evaluated as part of bachelor's and master's theses with students to ensure effectiveness and quality. This creates a sustainable cycle that strengthens the professionalization of prospective teachers and provides high-quality, evaluated learning resources for students and teachers. This builds on preliminary work from the MINT²KA and digiLAB projects with a focus on the responsible use of AI (link to the project KLEVER - AI-supported teaching development for mediation, testing and reflection of the Center for Teacher Education at KIT) and the creation of OER materials in teacher training.
What we want to achieve
Project overview: The target is the development, evaluation and provision of scientifically tested teaching videos in sport.
For prospective teachers: development of digital, didactic and research methodological skills; target group-oriented preparation of sports science content for school lessons; project-oriented work in teams; professional reference through cooperation with students.
For students & teachers: clear theory transfer (e.g. biomechanics of an athletics discipline); motivating learning opportunities and quality-tested OER materials.
For the education system: An iterative cycle of conception → creation → evaluation → provision → reflection, which ensures the continuous further development of the materials.
Capacity building at KIT: Development and implementation of a sustainable seminar concept that is effective beyond the funding period; creation of an OER self-learning course and training on digital tools and AI for student teachers; publication of evaluated results.
WP 1 - Conception:
Preparation in 12-14 graduate seminar units: theoretical basics (sports practice, sports science, digital media), selection/incorporation of digital tools and possibilities for responsible use of AI (e.g. text, image and language generation), development of video templates and an evaluation grid for the resulting videos; development of an OER self-learning course (copyright, licenses, tools, dissemination); preparation of the evaluation: development and quality testing of an evaluation instrument (e.g. questionnaire, mantle questionnaire); publication of evaluated results.e.g. questionnaire), ethics application at the KIT for ethical clearance of the research project with regard to the evaluations with pupils, fact sheet template (content and evaluation results) in order to be able to communicate the most important information in a compact and standardized manner.
WP 2 - Creation:
Each year, around 20 students in teams (3-4 people) develop a total of 5 teaching-learning videos on physical education topics (e.g. "Biomechanics of the long jump" or "Teaching breaststroke" as a socially relevant topic). Social (independent, cooperative), content-related (specialist knowledge in the school context) and personal skills (creativity, problem-solving) are promoted. In parallel with the students, the supported employee produces a reference video to raise awareness of the challenges faced by the student teachers in the creation process.
WP 3 - Evaluation:
Application and evaluation of the videos in the context of bachelor's and master's theses in schools or teaching learning labs with students:in and teaching staff; use of the tools developed in WP 1; revision of the videos.
WP 4 - Provision:
Publication of the videos and fact sheets on an OER platform and the website of the FoSS (Research Center for School Sports and Sports of Children and Adolescents) at the IfSS as part of the KIT OER Policy (KIT Repository/ZOERR); Planned: two scientific articles (including a seminar concept for the creation of OER materials and the integration of AI).
Basic didactic concept:
Project-oriented work and constructive alignment - learning objectives (subject knowledge & competencies) control learning activities (video production) and performance assessment.
Impact level students:
Targeted expansion of subject knowledge with a view to students, critical examination of digital media, AI and OER.
Impact level school & teachers:
Support of learning processes in theory & practice of physical education; free availability of evaluated materials.
Continuous reflection:
Process-accompanying in the seminar (incl. teaching evaluation of KIT); inclusion of heterogeneous experiences (e.g. school internships).
Scientific discourse:
Exchange at the IfSS research day and in the IfSS teaching working group; via the Center for Teacher Education (ZLB) and the Karlsruhe School of Education in the KIT as well as at congresses.
