The integration of technology is generally considered essential for improving student learning and preparing them for participation in a digital society. Technology integration is understood as a complex interplay between teacher competencies, the availability and adaptability of technologies, and the prerequisites and outcomes of students. The lecture presented the results of current studies based on the TPTI model (Lachner et al., 2024). The focus was on teacher competencies and the didactic effectiveness of educational technologies, with a particular emphasis on adaptive teaching and the use of generative AI.
Andreas Lachner is a professor of education specializing in teaching and learning with educational technologies and co-director of the Tübingen Center for Digital Education. His research focuses on promoting (meta-)cognitive and motivational learning processes through the use of educational technologies (e.g., computer-based feedback, video explanations, or artificial intelligence). Another focus of his work is the development and implementation of adaptive teaching scenarios. In addition, he is involved in improving strategies for the professional development of teachers in connection with technology integration.
An exchange with scientists from LIfBi rounded off the visit.
