851-0242-06L	Cognitively Activating Instructions in MINT Subjects Enrolment only possible with matriculation in Teaching Diploma or Teaching Certificate (excluding Teaching Diploma Sport). This course unit can only be enrolled after successful participation in, or during enrollment in the course "Human Learning (EW 1)".	W	2 credits	2S	R. Schumacher
Abstract	This seminar focuses on teaching units in chemistry, physics and mathematics that have been developed at the MINT Learning Center of the ETH Zurich. In the first meeting, the mission of the MINT Learning Center will be communicated. Furthermore, in groups of two, the students will intensively work on, refine and optimize a teaching unit following a goal set in advance.
Learning objective	- Get to know cognitively activating instructions in MINT subjects - Get information about recent literature on learning and instruction
Prerequisites / Notice	Für eine reibungslose Semesterplanung wird um frühe Anmeldung und persönliches Erscheinen zum ersten Lehrveranstaltungstermin ersucht.
851-0242-07L	Human Intelligence Enrolment only possible with matriculation in Teaching Diploma or Teaching Certificate (excluding Teaching Diploma Sport). Number of participants limited to 30. This course unit can only be enrolled after successful participation in, or during enrollment in the course "Human Learning (EW 1)".	W	1 credit	1S	E. Stern
Abstract	The focus will be on the book "Intelligenz: Grosse Unterschiede und ihre Folgen" by Stern and Neubauer. Participation at the first meeting is obligatory. It is required that all participants read the complete book. Furthermore, in two meetings of 90 minutes, concept papers developed in small groups (5 - 10 students) will be discussed.
Learning objective	- Understanding of research methods used in the empirical human sciences - Getting to know intelligence tests - Understanding findings relevant for education
851-0242-08L	Research Methods in Educational Science Number of participants limited to 30 This course unit can only be enrolled after successful participation in, or during enrollment in the course "Human Learning (EW 1)".	W	1 credit	2S	P. Edelsbrunner, T. Braas, C. M. Thurn
Abstract	Literature from the learning sciences is critically discussed with a focus on research methods. At the first meeting, working groups will be assembled and meetings with those will be set up. In the small groups students will write critical essays about the read literature. At the third meeting, we will discuss the essays and develop research questions in group work.
Learning objective	- Understand research methods used in the empirical educational sciences - Understand and critically examine information from scientific journals and media - Understand pedagogically relevant findings from the empirical educational sciences
851-0242-11L	Gender Issues In Education and STEM Number of participants limited to 30. Enrolment only possible with matriculation in Teaching Diploma or Teaching Certificate (excluding Teaching Diploma Sport). Prerequisite: students should be taking the course 851-0240-00L Human Learning (EW1) in parallel, or to have successfully completed it.	W	2 credits	2S	M. Berkowitz Biran, T. Braas, C. M. Thurn
Abstract	In this seminar, we introduce some of the major gender-related issues in the context of education and science learning, such as the under-representation of girls and women in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Common perspectives, controversies and empirical evidence will be discussed.
Learning objective	- To familiarize students with gender issues in the educational and STEM context and with controversies regarding these issues - To develop a critical view on existing research and perspectives. - To integrate this knowledge with teacher's work.
Content	Why do fewer women than men specialize in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics)? Are girls better in language and boys better in math? These and other questions about gender differences relevant to education and STEM learning have been occupying researchers for decades. In this seminar, students learn about major gender issues in the educational context and the different perspectives for understanding them. The seminar builds on the active participation of students in reading, presenting and critically discussing selected papers in the field. We focus on empirical research and integrate implications for the classroom context. In a final small-group assignment, students integrate and elaborate on the topics learned in the seminar.
Prerequisites / Notice	Prerequisite: Successful participation in the course 851-0240-00L Human Learning (EW1).

851-0238-01L	Support and Diagnosis of Knowledge Acquisition Processes (EW3) Enrolment only possible with matriculation in Teaching Diploma (except for students of Sport Teaching Diploma, who complete the sport-specific course unit EW3) and for students who intend to enrol in the "Teaching Diploma". Prerequisites: successful participation in 851-0240-00L "Human Learning (EW1)".	W	3 credits	3S	P. Edelsbrunner, J. Maue, C. M. Thurn
Abstract	In this seminar students learn advanced techniques to support and to diagnose knowledge acquisition processes in school.
Learning objective	The main goals are: (1) You have a deep understanding about the cognitive mechanisms of knowledge acquisition. (2) You have a basic understanding about psychological test theory and can appropriately administer tests. (3) You know various techniques of formative assessment and can apply these to uncover students' misconceptions.
