Darmstadt model schools
The aim of the project was to support three Darmstadt model schools on their way to becoming digitally confident schools that mediate ‘digital literacy’ in everyday school life. The comprehensive digital and media skills of all those involved in school life included the thoughtful handling of digital information, recognising a wide range of perspectives and interests, and the use of digital tools.
Concrete school and teaching concepts were developed in the project. At the same time, communication processes in a digitally shaped world were examined, how information is processed and how cooperation in the educational environment of schools is changing.
The project “Bildung in der digitalen Welt. Darmstädter Modellschulen” is being carried out as part of a development-oriented research project on behalf of Science City Darmstadt by the Department of General Education with a Focus on Media Education (Allgemeine Pädagogik mit dem Schwerpunkt Medienpädagogik) at TU Darmstadt.
Model schools are:
- Herderschule
- Heinrich-Emanuel-Merck-Schule
- Bernhard-Adelung-Schule.
The findings have been published in a report and can be supplemented by all schools.
