Video-based Competence Development in Chemistry Vocational Training

Abstract

Digitization in vocational education and training (VET) offers new opportunities for integrating work processes and background knowledge through interactive media. This involves the design, testing and evaluation of innovative means of didactic and technical support. In the project “Digitized support for competence development in the workplace”, this task is approached from a combined psychological and computer science perspective. This paper reports on one usage scenario from the first year of the project examining how to embed learning videos in VET. The results include new findings on video-based learning, and inform the design and implementation of a prototypical online learning platform.
