Abstract	Teaching is a complex skill. The lecture comprises (a) presentations about the theoretical background of this skill, (b) discussions of practical aspects, and (c) practical exercises.
Learning objective	The participants have the conceptual und procedural knowledge, and skills necessary for long-term planning, preparing, and implementing good lessons. They can apply this knowledge on different topics of their scientific STEM-background.
Content	We discuss characteristics of successful lessons and how to design such lessons by using curricula and lesson plans, teaching goals and a variety of teaching methods.
Lecture notes	The lecture comprises interactive parts where the participants elaborate and extend their knowledge and skills. Thus, there is no comprehensive written documentation of the lecture. The participants can download presentation slides, learning materials, and templates from "Moodle".
Literature	The necessary literature can be downloaded from "Moodle".
Prerequisites / Notice	The lecture EW2 can only be attended by students who already successfully completed the lecture Human Learning (EW1). There will be two independent lectures for different groups of students. You will get further information in an email at the beginning of the semester.

Abstract	Das Buch "Lernwirksam unterrichten" (Felten/Stern) wurde durchgearbeitet und die Fragen auf dem Netz wurden beantwortet. In einer gern kurz nach der Prüfungslektion einzeln oder in Kleingruppen stattfindenden einstündigen Besprechung mit Elsbeth Stern werden für das Unterrichten relevante lernpsychologische Erkenntnisse diskutiert.
Learning objective	In den Veranstaltungen zu den Erziehungswissenschaften geht es um die Vermittlung von Reflexionswissen über schulisches Lernen. Lehrpersonen müssen das Verhalten und die Leistung ihrer Schülerinnen und Schüler interpretieren und eigene Handlungsoptionen abwägen. Es soll noch einmal darüber reflektiert werden, welche lernpsychologischen Erkenntnisse dabei helfen können.
Literature	Buch "Lernwirksam unterrichten" (Felten/Stern)

Er beinhaltet u.a. die folgenden Aspekte: • Wissen über das menschliche Lernen • Fähigkeit Unterricht langfristig zu planen • Fähigkeit, den Schulstoff in einer für die SuS nachvollziehbaren Weisen zu sequenzieren • Fähigkeiten, den Stoff in Form von konkreten Lernzielen zu formulieren • Kompetenz, für das Erreichen der Lernziele die jeweils passende Methode auszuwählen und lernwirksam zu implementieren • Kompetenzen zur Wissensdiagnose und zur förderlichen Lernbegleitung (Formative Assessment) • Fähigkeit, Lernleistungen adäquat zu bewerten (Summative Assessment) • Kompetenz, eine Lerngruppe erfolgreich zu führen (Classroom Management) • Fähigkeiten, um mit den psychosozialen Anforderungen des Lehrberufs umgehen zu können • Fähigkeit, mit Stress umgehen zu können, um Lehrberuf langfristig gesund zu bleiben • Kenntnisse zu haben über die Methoden der empirischen Lehr- und Lern-Forschung Das an der ETH entstehende Buch „Professionelles Begründungs- und Handlungswissen für Lehrpersonen“ führt alle diese Aspekte auf der Grundlage des Angebot-Nutzen-Ertragsmodell in detaillierter und kohärenter Weise aus. Die Studierenden bekommen im Rahmen der Lehrveranstaltung die Gelegenheit, ein Manuskript des Buches in der ersten Fassung zu lesen und den Autor/innen aus ihrer Sicht eine Rückmeldung zu den einzelnen Kapiteln zu geben. Diese Rückmeldungen werden dann in geeigneter Weise bei der Überarbeitung des Manuskriptes in die Endfassung einfliessen und die Studierenden werden, sofern sie dies wünschen, im Vorwort mit einem Dank erwähnt.
Lecture notes	Die Studierenden bekommen ein Manuskript des an der ETH entstehenden Buches „Professionelles Begründungs- und Handlungswissen für Lehrpersonen“. Sie verpflichten sich, alle Teile des Manuskriptes absolut vertraulich zu behandeln und Rückmeldungen zu ausgewählten Kapiteln zu geben.

Abstract	In teams, participants in this seminar conduct their own research project. Each team is advised by one of the researchers serving as lecturers in this course. Basic conceptual and methodological issues are the topic of a series of plenary meetings; however, the major part of the work is done in small-group meetings with the advising researcher, and in self-directed research projects.
Learning objective	The course is targeted at advanced students who have taken an interest in gathering practical research experience in the field of Learning & Instruction. In teams, students conduct their own research projects (on request, working alone is also possible); thus, the course requires a high amount of self-directed working. Students are personally advised, and supported in their research project, by one of the researchers serving as lecturers in this course. During the first half the semester, relevant methodological knowledge and skills are practiced during plenary meetings and in students` independent reading.
Prerequisites / Notice	The successful completion of EW1 and EW3 ist a precondition for taking this course. However, with agreement obtained from the lecturers in advance, students holding equivalent prior knowledge from other courses may also be eligible for this course.

Abstract	This colloquium offers an opportunity for students to discuss their ongoing research and scientific ideas in the behavioral sciences, both at the micro- and macro-levels of cognitive, behavioral and social science. It also offers an opportunity for students from other disciplines to discuss their research ideas in relation to behavioral science. The colloquium also features invited research talks.
Learning objective	Students know and can apply autonomously up-to-date investigation methods and techniques in the behavioral sciences. They achieve the ability to develop their own ideas in the field and to communicate their ideas in oral presentations and in written papers. The credits will be obtained by a written report of approximately 10 pages.
Content	This colloquium offers an opportunity for students to discuss their ongoing research and scientific ideas in the behavioral sciences, both at the micro- and macro-levels of cognitive, behavioral and social science. It also offers an opportunity for students from other disciplines to discuss their ideas in so far as they have some relation to behavioral science. The possible research areas are wide and may include theoretical as well as empirical approaches in Social Psychology and Research on Higher Education, Sociology, Modeling and Simulation in Sociology, Decision Theory and Behavioral Game Theory, Economics, Research on Learning and Instruction, Cognitive Psychology and Cognitive Science. Ideally the students (from Bachelor, Master, Ph.D. and Post-Doc programs) have started to start work on their thesis or on any other term paper. Course credit can be obtained either based on a talk in the colloquium plus a written essay, or by writing an essay about a topic related to one of the other talks in the course. Students interested in giving a talk should contact the course organizers (Ziegler, Kapur) before the first session of the semester. Priority will be given to advanced / doctoral students for oral presentations. The course credits will be obtained by a written report of approximately 10 pages. The colloquium also serves as a venue for invited talks by researchers from other universities and institutions related to behavioral and social sciences.
