Within the LArS project (2020-2022), a cross-university team at the universities of Dortmund, Duisburg-Essen and Wuppertal as well as in Leipzig developed freely accessible animated teaching videos for the professionalization of prospective teachers in social science subjects (politics, economics-politics, social studies and social sciences). More information as well as the resulting videos and teaching/learning materials can be found on the project website.
We also recommend the open-access book publication on the project:
Gronostay, D., Manzel, S., Hahn-Laudenberg, K. & Teuwsen, J. (Eds.) (2024). Professional teaching perceptions in social science subject teaching. Springer VS. doi.org/10.1007/978-3-658-41829-8
At the University of Leipzig, we are testing the adapted use of teaching/learning materials and videos developed in this process for educational science teacher training with a focus on democracy education.
