Özet
<p>Creativity was identified as one of the four cornerstone skills of future engineers and is said to</p><p>rely on direct connection to others, and on teaching settings allowing for face-to-face phronetic</p><p>experience. Against the background of the pandemic-caused online teaching, the main objective</p><p>of the European project TICON – Teaching creativity online - is to identify barriers in</p><p>engineering Higher Education for teaching creativity online, and to upskill the teachers in terms</p><p>of digital teaching with appropriate pedagogical approaches.</p><p>The underlying curriculum, was developed following a User-Centred Design approach. In the</p><p>first step, Experience Interviews with 32 Higher Education engineering teachers in Turkey,</p><p>Irleand, Denmark and Germany have been conducted. As a result, barriers and best-practises as</p><p>well as further needs and interests have been identified.</p><p>On this basis, a first draft of the curriculum – the curriculum prototype - was designed and</p><p>presented to the target group in Focus Groups in each of the four countries. Within each Focus</p><p>Group, participants were introduced to the project and findings of the interviews. A group</p><p>discussion was then held by going through the draft curriculum for three aims: To understand,</p><p>if the curriculum prototype fits into the problem space derived by the Experience Interviews; to</p><p>derive further needs and ideas for the curriculum and to validate the prototype. The final</p><p>curriculum consists of three lessons: 1) Why - Introduction to creativity teaching and its</p><p>relevance for engineering; 2) What - Method and tool skills for online teaching and 3) How -</p><p>Skill development for how to teach.</p><p>Keywords: Online Teaching, Creativity, User-Centred Design, Experience Interviews, Focus</p><p>Groups</p>
