A learning design to promote reflection and digital media skills for the professionalisation of student teachers

Reflection skills are seen as a crucial factor for teacher professionalisation. They serve to combine theoretical and practical knowledge and are, therefore, relevant for solving challenging situations in school practice. Furthermore, digital media skills are important for teacher professionalisation because contemporary teaching requires the integration of digital media resources into learning processes as well as the promotion of media skills among pupils. The development of professional reflection and media skills are therefore an important aspect in the context of teacher education and corresponding learning opportunities should be offered. In this paper, I present a learning design that aims to promote both reflection and digital media skills for student teachers.
