Abstract

Providing prospective teachers with the opportunity to engage in representations of practice, so-called vignettes, has proven to be an effective approach in teacher education and corresponding research (Herbst et al., 2011). Questions regarding possible designs of vignette-based learning and testing environments have become essential in this context and the potential of cartoon-based vignettes has gained increased attention. Cartoon vignettes combine numerous advantages ascribed to video and text vignettes: Cartoons allow the systematic, theory-based design and variation of classroom situations whereas individual characteristics that are important to comprehend a classroom situation can easily be added (Friesen & Kuntze, 2018). In the project coReflect@maths, a digital tool for creating cartoon based vignettes is developed and programmed. The so-called DIVER tool (Developing and Investigating Vignettes in teacher Education and Research) will not only allow the creation of cartoon vignettes (e.g., by arranging student and teacher characters in classroom environments, adding speech bubbles, etc.), but will also enhance the collaborative reflection and exchange of vignettes within the learning platform Moodle. The poster presents the features of the DIVER tool and displays a cartoon vignette inviting colleagues via QR code to analyse and to exchange responses with the authors.
