The major goal of the COSPAL project is to develop an artificial cognitive system architecture, with the ability to autonomously extend its capabilities. Exploratory learning is one strategy that allows an extension of competences as provided by the environment of the system. Whereas classical learning methods aim at best for a parametric generalization, i.e., concluding from a number of sample...

Previous studies from German-speaking areas of Europe could not prove any substantial development in the competences and pedagogical content knowledge prospective history teachers during teacher training, thus empirically confirm effectiveness education. We report on theoretical framework results a new study lesson planning. In present study, this kind be confirmed by different test instruments...
