The aim of the BMBF-funded project is to strengthen pupils in heterogeneous learning groups in their experimentation skills and their self-efficacy expectations. Adaptively designed learning aids and barrier-free forms of instruction in the experimentation process will be investigated with regard to their effectiveness and differential effects. For this purpose, four hands-on STEM experiments on climate change will be developed with corresponding adaptive learning aids and barrier-free instructions. The learning aids and instructions will be transferred to a digital learning environment that will be used to accompany the experiments.

On 1 July 2022, the internal university opening of the ReCCE took place in the Senate Hall.

The BMBF-funded project EwiK started on 1 May 2022. More information about the project can be found here.
