Your digital footprint

This worksheet aims to raise students’ awareness of the mechanisms, economic dimensions, and psychological strategies of modern digital marketing in everyday life.

Content and Methods: The material focuses on the economic significance of social media marketing based on statistical data, as well as the analysis of specific digital posts. Methodologically, the worksheet relies on a combination of practical case studies—in which an exemplary social media post is deconstructed both textually and statistically—and theoretical insights into behavioral economic effects. In addition, the material encourages multi-perspective discussion through reflective writing assignments and the comparison of contrasting stakeholder perspectives. Finally, the discussion of complex issues is used to synthesize what has been learned into the formation of independent judgments.

Competencies:

Analytical and Deconstructive Competence: The ability to systematically examine media content and linguistic and statistical devices for their manipulative or promotional effects

Reflective and Critical Thinking Competence: The ability to critically examine one’s own consumer behavior and evaluate economic phenomena from different perspectives

Media and Economic Competence: Understanding of digital market mechanisms, psychological influence strategies such as the authority bias or the bandwagon effect, and their impact on the economy

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

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.
