      abstract     = {The promotion of experimental competencies is a central
                      educational goal of science in school. As an essential
                      component of general education scientific competencies are
                      required for social participation, communication and forming
                      opinion. In the context of experiments, as they occur in
                      everyday life, in technology and in medicine, these skills
                      are essential. In addition, some curricula in the German
                      federal states explicitly legitimize the promotion of
                      experimental skills. Therefore, with this work using the
                      design-based research approach, support offers for the
                      promotion of experimental competencies to schoolchildren
                      have been developed and evaluated. The FLexKom platform
                      (Fördern und Lernen experimenteller Kompetenzen) was
                      designed for this purpose and provides various modules and
                      teaching materials free of charge. The modules of the
                      FLexKom platform have been designed in such way that they
                      focus on specific promotion of specific sub-competencies
                      (e.g. carrying out electronic experimental setups or using
                      control-of-variables strategy). In terms of methodology, the
                      modules can be used in various ways. One possibility is to
                      combine several modules into a learning circle. The modules
                      can be combined according to various criteria. Two exemplary
                      learning circles were examined in a study. One learning
                      circle puts various sub-competencies in the foreground, with
                      all modules moving in the same physical field of content
                      (here electricity). The other learning circle focuses on a
                      specific sub-competence (here control-of-variables strategy)
                      in several content fields. To investigate the effectiveness
                      of the developed learning circles and materials and to be
                      able to draw conclusions about further knowledge for new
                      modules, a study was designed and carried out which examined
                      and compares the learning effectiveness of the learning
                      circles in everyday school life. To determine the
                      competencies, validated test instruments have been used that
                      measure individual sub-competencies and thus allow detailed
                      statements. The increase in learning could be determined by
                      comparing the test data at different time. The concrete
                      intervention consisted of a motivation phase, the
                      implementation of a learning circle and a consolidation
                      phase. The two sample learning circles were evaluated with
                      15 school classes from grades 7 to 9 (mean age: 12,9 years).
                      The results of the investigation show a significant increase
                      in learning with a large effect size for the sub-skills
                      addressed with the modules. Sub-competencies that are not
                      promoted show little or no improvement. In addition to the
                      similarities between the two types of learning circles,
                      differences were also identified. For the learning circle,
                      which promotes the control-of-variables strategy (CVS) in
                      all modules, there was a significant increase in performance
                      even for partial skills of the CVS that are known to be
                      difficult. If the CVS was only thematized in one module of
                      the alternative learning circle examined, a significant
                      increase in learning was only found for the more simple
                      partial skills of the CVS. For practical use in schools, in
                      addition to the learning effectiveness on the part of the
                      pupils, the acceptance of the teachers is also important. A
                      survey of the teachers showed a positive assessment of the
                      learning goals and their accessibility through the modules.
                      Furthermore, the conceptual idea of the learning circle,
                      which deals with the CVS in several content fields, received
                      a particularly high level of approval. On the one hand, this
                      work made it possible to create a module pool to promote a
                      variety of specific experimental sub-competencies. On the
                      other hand, the work provides insights into the learning
                      effectiveness of learning circles combined from the modules
                      as well as their acceptance by the teachers. In summary, in
                      terms of the design-based research approach, the FLexKom
                      platform provided materials suitable for school practice to
                      promote experimental skills and gained important knowledge
                      for their further development.},
