PublicationFörderung interkultureller Lehrkompetenz : didaktische Gestaltungsprinzipien in der Lehrerinnen- und Lehrerbildung für die Sekundarstufe IITeachers need intercultural teaching skills to cope with the increasing ethnic-cultural heterogeneity of learners in the classroom. In the context of the present research work, a curriculum for the promotion of intercultural teaching competence is developed for the Pre-service teacher education at the University of St. Gallen, in which future teachers for business administration, economics and law are trained. Based on the paradigm of design-based research, the aim of the work is to develop an innovative practical solution on the one hand, and on the other hand to derive design principles that offer guidelines for the methodological design of intercultural teaching concepts in a broader educational context. The starting point of the work is an in-depth discussion of the research literature on the importance of ethnic-cultural heterogeneity for the secondary II education level by identifying pedagogical fields of action that require the teachers to have specific intercultural teaching competences. Afterwards the goal construct 'Intercultural teaching competence' is further analyzed and operationalized for the development of an intercultural teaching arrangement. In addition, design assumptions are derived from Bennett's development model of intercultural sensitivity as well as further insights gained from theoretical and empirical studies, which guide the methodological-didactic design of intercultural teaching arrangements. Taking into account the specific contextual conditions, a prototype of the intercultural teaching arrangement is developed and tested in two Pre-service teacher education courses at the University of St. Gallen. The evaluation methods comprise a multitude of qualitative and quantitative instruments and allow the further development of the teaching arrangement as well as an evaluation of the usefulness and relevance of the individual design principles.Type: doctoral thesis
