Educational success depends heavily on the individual learning requirements of pupils – especially in the STEM subjects. Adaptive teaching, which explicitly takes individual requirements into account and offers personalised learning opportunities, is considered a promising didactic concept for dealing productively with heterogeneity. Digital technologies support teachers in effectively organising adaptive lessons as they provide them with innovative options for diagnostics and differentiation.

Despite numerous lighthouse projects in the field of digital education, previous initiatives in teacher training are often characterised by low coverage, insufficient cross-phase cooperation and a lack of subject-specificity. Therefore, a central question of the MINT-ProNeD project network is: How can teachers be qualified and well trained to implement digitally supported adaptive teaching?

The MINT-ProNeD joint project aims to establish an integrative overall concept for STEM teacher training: in three interdisciplinary and cross-phase networks (further training, teaching development and counselling, Future Innovation Hub) and a cross-cutting work area of translation and dissemination.
