P1 Interdisciplinary (cross-linked) lessons at a Higher-level secondary technical School (HTL) as a contribution to sustainable learning - Results of an Empirical Survey
Presenter: Gerhild Bachmann and Ute Weitensfelder, University of Graz, Austria
Poster presentation. Target audience: Higher education
New research finding show that a broad knowledge basis is essential for further learning. Cross-linked lessons support sustainability, enabling the development of readiness to take on responsibility for one's own learning. The measuring tools and the empirical results of a recent questionnaire among pupils and teachers on cross-linked learning at a Higher-level secondary technical School (HTL) in Austria, which are seen as helpful for school developmental processes, are exhibited on the poster. The fact that the teachers always gave the pupils the possibility to pose questions turned out to be positive for the cross-linking. They were prepared for further education and demonstrated a high level of interests in other subjects, as well as taking care to shape learning materials for their teaching subject in such a way that the pupils would still be able to find their bearing years later.
