Aim
Writing instruction that integrates individual process support is the focus of this course. The aim is to build up a basic knowledge in the field of text skills and the acquisition of children’s writing skills on the basis of current developments in empirical didactics of writing. Students get to know a repertoire of writing strategies, action and production-oriented methods of writing didactics, and feedback conducive to learning. Targeted promotion and support measures are just as important as the acquisition of text evaluation skills and the consolidation of spelling skills. The students get to know the IKM basic modules and acquire the competence to use the results for the planning of effective learning offers and for the design of differentiated lessons.
