This worksheet aims to introduce students to the "trolley problem" as a fundamental ethical dilemma, encouraging them to evaluate moral decision-making through the lens of different philosophical theories and their modern application in artificial intelligence and autonomous driving.

Content and methods: The worksheet uses a multimedia approach, starting with a video-based discussion of the trolley scenario. It then provides informative texts on utilitarianism, deontology, virtue ethics, and moral relativism to facilitate theoretical understanding. Students apply these concepts through comprehension questions, analytical writing tasks, and a creative "pitch" presentation where they role-play as programmers to address the ethical challenges of self-driving cars.

Competencies:

• Ethical reasoning and moral judgment
• Application of philosophical theories to modern technology
• Critical thinking and perspective-taking
• Argumentation and presentation skills
• Reading and media literacy

Target group: Grade 10 and above

Objectives

The goal is to learn the Jigsaw method as a way to independently explore complex philosophical models of thought. Participants engage objectively and critically with fundamental questions of existence and evaluate them through academic discussion. The sample content serves as a flexible template for systematic method training.

Content and Methods

This Worksheet uses a cooperative Jigsaw structure to explore core philosophical ideas. After an individual specialization phase, students deepen their knowledge in expert groups and then share it in home groups. Results are organized in a table that highlights major works and key theses. A short, fictional role-play at the end places each position in a contemporary context. All content choices - both the selection of philosophers and the theories - are designed to be interchangeable.

Competencies

• Subject Knowledge: Understanding central philosophical movements and the ability to concisely summarize complex models of thought.
• Methodological Skills: Confident use of the Jigsaw method as a cooperative learning approach and proficiency in focused academic research.
• Critical Judgment: Objective engagement with differing worldviews and their relevance for contemporary epistemology.
• Social and Communication Skills: Responsible peer-to-peer knowledge sharing and facilitation of perspective-taking through role-play.

Target Group and Level

Middle and upper secondary

Objective: The worksheet raises learners' awareness of the potential of artificial intelligence to promote inclusion and accessibility. The aim is to understand how technological assistance systems can increase the independence of people with disabilities in everyday life.

Content and methods: The content includes an introduction to AI-supported assistance functions for people with disabilities, basic knowledge about this form of disability, typical barriers in everyday life, and ethical issues relating to data protection, accessibility, and the relationship between human and technical support. This is supplemented by practical case studies and the development of students' own app ideas as an application of what they have learned. The methods include the assignment and analysis of specific AI functions, theoretical impulses with hypothesis formation, empathic role-playing, scenario-based case work, creative project work on app design, and structured reflection and discussion phases on ethical aspects.

Competencies:

• Perspective taking: Developing empathy for the realities of life for people with disabilities
• Media and technology skills: Recognizing AI as a tool for assistive technologies
• Problem-solving skills: Transferring technological knowledge to complex everyday obstacles
• Ethical judgment: Critical examination of social conditions

Target group and level: Grade 8 and above

Objective: The worksheet aims to educate learners about the use of artificial intelligence in medical diagnostics. Learners should understand how AI systems support professionals, increase efficiency, and what ethical questions arise regarding responsibility and trust.

Contents and methods: The content includes an introduction to AI-supported imaging based on informational texts, analysis tables on areas of application, a practical case study, and an overview of the pros and cons of opportunities and risks. Methodologically, the content is taught through a combination of technical text work, structured analysis, case studies, and reflective exchange formats such as opinion rounds and evaluation surveys.

Competencies:

• Technical competence: Understanding how AI works in medical imaging and diagnostics.
