The “Ibidigital” project

opportunities and limits of digital offerings for biographical learning to build digital religious literacy

Abstract

The project "Ibidigital" (Identity Formation in Digital Worlds) as part of the overall Passau project "SKILL.de" (Strategies for Competence Development: Innovative teaching formats in teacher training digitally enhanced) (1.1) aims to conduct university didactic research into the opportunities and limitations of digital offerings for biographical learning in the sense of digital religious literacy. Digital tools are developed and tested for religious didactic practice in schools and for the promotion of teacher professionalism in the context of practical school education for students. This is done on the basis of the Chair's extensive research work on learning from other people's biographies as a contribution to biographical learning (1.2). In the first project, personal modes of presentation in digital worlds are explored and examined for their suitability for teaching and learning processes in schools; the project focuses on the didactic preparation of the so-called "sense fluencers" (2.1). The second project aims to promote students' self-reflective professional competence with the help of a digital portfolio (2.2). Both perspectives (content-related: identity formation in real and digital worlds; professional: biographical learning as a central element of professional identity and habitus formation) must initially be considered independently. They will be joined together in the sub-projects and (university) didactically developed with the involvement of various horizontal (other subjects) and vertical (second and third phase of teacher training) cooperation partners. The results of the projects are publicly available as OER modules and on the Local-heroes homepage (3.).
