Call for Expert Advisors to Participate in Our Online Survey:
Hardly anyone knows the day-to-day realities of childcare centers and their support needs regarding digital media education as well as you do. That is precisely why your perspective is indispensable for this research project: We want to find out what experiences you, as a specialist consultant, have had with the topic of digital media education and what you need to be able to provide sound guidance to daycare teams in this area. We therefore invite you to participate in our quantitative online survey. By doing so, you’ll be directly contributing to the development of a tested and evaluated professional development program that is closely aligned with the reality of professional consulting—a program that will be available free of charge to professional consultants nationwide via the nifbe e.V. Moodle platform.
Why your participation matters:
- You are key influencers within the daycare system.
- Your specific practical experiences and needs will be directly incorporated into the development of a needs-based continuing education program—one that is not planned without considering your needs, but rather in collaboration with you.
- Upon request, you will receive the key findings of the study.
