Art, music and sport (KuMuS) are important forms of expression for children and young people that are changing in the course of increasing digitalisation. With adaptive teaching, teachers can specifically address heterogeneous learning requirements and individually promote the development of skills in increasingly digitalised movement, design and interaction practices. Digital technologies provide innovative opportunities for this.

In order to exploit this didactic potential and realise adaptive, activity-based digital innovations in the classroom, teachers must be qualified and well trained. The question therefore arises as to which digitalisation-related professional skills KuMuS teachers need. Based on the fundamental assumption that professional competences are not acquired through the schematic application of explicit knowledge, but rather through testing, practising and in-depth action in the reflective examination of technical and instructional issues (Hapke & Cramer 2020, Hermann et al. 2021), the project is also dedicated to the question of what a corresponding further training concept could look like. The central question for the objectives pursued by the DIE in the KuMuS-ProNeD project network is therefore: What skills do teachers need and how can they be qualified to realise digitally supported adaptive teaching?

The aim of the joint project is to establish an integrative overall concept for teacher training in art, music and sport in the form of three interdisciplinary and cross-phase networks (further training, teaching development and counselling, Future Innovation Hub).

The joint project aims to develop further training formats for the use of digital learning environments and teaching scenarios (e.g. through the use of video analyses and tutorials, apps, devices, social media, blended learning, etc.) to promote skills that initiate characteristic (post)digital practices in art, music and sport, use them for teaching-learning processes and address them in the form of critical debate.

Teachers should develop professional competences in order to use current and future digital technologies for the adaptive promotion of subject-specific and digital competences in KuMuS lessons in a didactically sound manner.
