4. Outcomes and possible effects

Course module is considered to enrich the chemistry teacher education program“I find learning videos very interesting, because you have to understand the topic, you can be creative, you can identify knowledge gaps and it is something different in a too theory based study”.

Benefit in learning on how to use chemical experiments in the school environment“Creating learning videos is interesting to investigate misconceptions of pupils. Because they have to learn self organized in order to explain, what they have learnt.”

4. Outcomes and possible effects

Learning for the purpose of teaching motivates students - more than learning for a testBenware and Deci (1984)

Positive effects of anticipating and expecting to teach on the learners’ cognitive gainBargh and Schul (1980)

Constructivist and project-based approach (Harel & Papert, 1991) challenges the learner’s teaching and technological competencies
