Abstract

While the focus of the project COMeIN was on the development of teaching material for all phases of teacher education and different contexts, such as informatics [2], one of several designated successor projects, ComeMINT, focuses on success factors of adaptive STEM modules in so called Community Networks (ComeNets). The project runs until 2025 and is part of a larger national strategy to foster the development of digitalization-related competences of all teachers in all subjects. In the ComeMINT project, 14 universities cooperate in six different STEM-related ComeNets (mathematics, informatics, biology, physics, chemistry and social studies and science). Each of these networks investigates and determines success factors of prototypical, professionally sound and digitalization-related concepts for STEM teachers and multipliers in in-service training. To this end, the ComeNet Informatics has started to develop three questionnaires which are to be administered in the context of upcoming teacher professional development. The article presents the development process of these questionnaires as current state of work.
