The Regensburg Concept of P-Seminars — How to organize the interface between secondary school and university education to create a didactic cooperation between teaching and learning of Software Engineering with Lego Mindstorms NXT Embedded Robot Systems

Abstract

This paper describes the background and the theory of the learning arrangement “The Regensburg Concept of P1 - Seminars” and its potential fields of application. This conception was designed to meet the various requirements caused by the Bologna Accords and the restructuring of the senior years of German secondary school education. At the same time it aims at finding solutions for a severe problem topical in Germany: the lack of students qualifying in MINT (the fields of mathematics, informatics, natural sciences and techniques.)
