Vocational education in Germany is characterised by a learning venue cooperation between vocational schools and vocational training companies. For a better combination of theory and practice the curricula in the field of computer science (CS) and information and communication technologies (IT) are arranged in so-called "Lernfelder" (learning fields), which gives the teachers the leeway to develop different learning situations on their own. Unfortunately, it seems that teachers often do not put this idea into practice. The question is: Why would vocational IT school teachers willingly relinquish these benefits? The elicitation study described in this paper explores the IT teachers' knowledge of and attitudes towards the concept of learning fields in order to find an answer to that question. It is part of a project which aims to develop exemplary learning situations and helpful tools for several learning fields, which will make it easier for the teachers to create lessons in the context of learning fields. |
