Modeling is a well-known and important concept in Computer Science, but it happens and is used in all other subjects and daily life, e.g. in the case of mental, verbal and physical modeling or also in form of mathematical formulas. This project wants to make modeling visible for teachers and pupils in order to integrate it as concept and learning tool respectively learning strategy in primary and secondary education. The main aims of the project are:

• Fostering 21st century skills

  Problem solving, computational thinking, text comprehension in different subjects and as preparation of programming.

• Introducing modeling techniques

  In school practice as effective teaching and learning tools suitable for all subjects, specifically for STEM and STEAM.

• Developing a supplementary curriculum

  For the integration of modeling in existing curricula of primary and secondary education.

• Developing and providing cross-curricular

  And multi-disciplinary teaching units and materials based on findings of educational neuroscience respectively neurodidatics.
