The current political discussion about the digital
transformation in Germany’s educational context is
primarily concerned with the use of digital media in schools.
However, all disciplines and their related school subjects are
significantly affected by digitalization – as can be seen e.g.
with the effects of simulation or data analysis. This results
in new topics, methods or strategies that schools must also
deal with in the future. In consequence, teachers of any
subject require Computational Thinking competencies and
Computer Science knowledge, not only for the efficient and
effective use of digital technology but also to understand and
apply the new topics, methods, and approaches. In this paper,
the design and implementation of a new course for teacher
education in Germany is presented. With a theme revolving
around digital transformation, this course aims at preparing
pre-service teachers for teaching in the 21st century. Design
principles and content selection are based on an analysis of
similar courses and requirements arising from digitalization
and its effect on the disciplines. First results show that
students have gained a clearer understanding of how
digitalization influences their subjects and teaching in
general. Additionally, they report feeling more confident in
employing aspects of digital education.
