Konstruktion, Implementation und Evaluation beispielbasierten Lernens und Lehrens zur Förderung des Erwerbs anwendbaren Wissens im kaufmännischen Berufsschulunterricht

Starting from problems of knowledge acquisition and transfer in
subdomains of economics various experimental studies were carried
out in which the effectiveness of an example-based instructional
approach was investigated. On the basis of these studies,
instructional consequences were drawn. In the context of a field
study in which example-based learning and teaching was implemented
at vocational schools, these consequences were applied and
evaluated. Compared to a control group which was taught in a
traditional way, the experimental group with example-based
instruction acquired more applicable knowledge. The differences
between the two groups were statistically significant and of
practical relevance. With respect to motivation, the experimental
group also showed positive results. Further consequences for the
implementation of example-based learning and teaching in practice
are drawn.
