"Der Einsatz digitaler Technik sollte [...] der Erreichung pädagogischer Ziele dienen und nicht bloß zum Selbstzweck eingesetzt werden." In diesem Beitrag beleuchten wir die Rolle, die "das Digitale" beim Lernen und Arbeiten in Kleingruppen spielen kann. Computertechnologie bietet viele verschiedene Möglichkeiten, Kooperation zu ermöglichen und zu beeinflussen. Computer können nicht bloß Kommunikation ermöglichen oder Aufgaben multimedial darstellen. "Smarte" Gegenstände oder Smartphones können Kooperation erleichtern, und Computeranwendungen können Gruppen Unterstützung bereitstellen, die genau auf diese Bedürfnisse zugeschnitten ist oder ihnen dabei helfen, die eigenen Zusammenarbeit zu beobachten und selbstgesteuert zu verändern. Neben den verschiedenen Rollen, die Computertechnik beim Kooperativen Lernen einnehmen kann, beschreiben und diskutieren wir einige Herausforderungen und Stärken digitaler Technik. Im Fokus stehen hier Fragen nach dem Zugang zu digitaler Unterstützung, ihrer Skalierbarkeit, ihrer Konfiguration, sowie der Frage nach einer Handlungsautonomie für die Lernenden.

From 27.02 - 02.03.23 the GEBF (Gesellschaft für Empirische Bildungsforschung) conference took place at the University of Duisburg-Essen under the theme "Education between uncertainty and evidence".
Two papers by the members of our research group were presented as part of the GEBF:On February 15, the Research Day took place at the Institute of Educational Science at RUB. Among other things, current research results were presented and the panel discussion was "Career path to professorship" war organized. Our former employee Dr Christian Hartmann was awarded a prize for his dissertation. We congratulate Dr. Christian Harmann once again and thank all participants for this nice exchange on the Research Day!

Research scientist Charleen Brand collected data at Harvard University during a 3-month research stay, from September to November 2022, as part of a research project funded by the Research School (PR.INT). The project is in collaboration with Professor Bertrand Schneider of the Learning, Innovation and Technology Lab at Harvard Graduate School of Education (https://lit.gse.harvard.edu/) that started in January 2022. Together they research how students compare and analyze knowledge components within erroneous solution attempts prior to instruction using eye-tracking technology. The collaboration continues in 2023.

Apprenticeship learning is a central macro-approach to how learning and teaching can take place, standing in contrast to schooling. In the apprenticeship learning approach, learning takes place in the real-life context in which the content to be learned is of immediate relevance. Learning is understood as developing expertise in practices relevant in the learner's current life, takes place in a fully contextualized way, and is situated in a meaningful social context of practitioners Apprenticeship learning is mostly applied to observable practices but can also be applied to cognitive skills. Bringing apprenticeship learning and schooling together to benefit from their unique strengths is a current trend in educational research and practice. Eberle, J. (2023). Apprenticeship learning.
