"INCLUSIVE SCHOOL DESIGN (SING) - DEVELOPMENT OF DIDACTIC CONCEPTS AND ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURES OF AN INCLUSIVE SCHOOL"
The project ran from January 2018 to March 2021. The anthology"Schule inklusiv gestalten - das Projekt SING" 2022 was published at the end of the project. The report on the BMBF's metaproject can be found under"Qualification for Inclusion", the summary of all sub-projects of the funding guideline can be found in the BMBF brochure"Specialist qualification for inclusive education: results and products from five years of research" (2022).
The SING project links the didactic and vocational didactic perspective with the special education perspective in order to build up skills for the development of inclusive subject teaching - i.e. teaching that supports and empowers each individual pupil in their development as effectively as possible - among student teachers. An instrument will be developed that combines the subject-specific diagnosis of the learning status of the learners with the subject-specific or vocational didactic analysis of the objects of appropriation and a staging of learning settings based on this can be derived. The didactically developed learning environments are supported by educational technology and made available to all participants via a responsive learning platform.
Students investigate, develop and evaluate teaching-learning settings, thereby establishing and further developing the university and school as inclusive places of learning. They are supervised by bi-professional teams of lecturers from subject didactics and special education. As part of the process and thus the project, the students' skills are assessed and analyzed in order to make statements about the effectiveness of the measure with regard to the development of teaching skills for inclusive subject teaching and to be able to implement adaptations in the teaching concept in a timely manner.
SING focuses on the micro level of educational design. However, the development of educational services is not sustainable without school development - in this respect, SING is investigating process management requirements for the organization of inclusive schools in participating schools and developing a pilot organizational model "Inclusive School".
