Teaching Digital Thinking
Interdisciplinary Digital Skills
The Teaching Digital Thinking project encompasses an Austria-wide concept to teach the skills necessary for understanding, critically reflecting on, and shaping the digital transformation to as many students as possible. In this interdisciplinary collaboration, both computer scientists and non-computer scientists are developing new content, new didactic methods, and prototypes for teaching "digital skills."
We understand digital skills from a multidisciplinary perspective, for example, from perspective used in the humanities, cultural sciences, law, natural sciences, or social sciences. Computer science students, for instance, must gain a basic understanding of human, social, legal, and ethical concerns. We want to teach our students skills in scientific and sustainable ways, so that we consider prior knowledge of the subjects, interests, and needs and link these to digital skills in an interdisciplinary collaborative effort.
