Project Result 2: DiCo

As a second goal, AuthOMath offers a concise didactic concept (DiCo) for the design of effective digital learning materials.

Combining the strengths of STACK and GeoGebra results in an authoring platform with new possibilities. The exploration of these new possibilities must be accompanied by didactic considerations so that they can be best utilised to promote learning.

Based on these new possibilities and structured along the well-known TPACK model, our DiCo deals with the following topics, among others:

  • CK: Analysing the task content, its requirements for understanding and the possible solution space
  • PCK: Analysing the appropriate approach to the subject matter and the learners’ possible conceptions and misconceptions
  • TCK and TPK: Analysing the possibilities and limitations of using STACK and GeoGebra to work on the subject matter in an educational environment
  • TK: Programming skills for STACK and GeoGebra

DiCo is the conceptual basis of Moodle courses on digital task design in teacher training, which will be published soon.

DiCo can be downloaded here in the form of Moodle courses:
