Analysing the impact of out-of-classroom experiential learning on teachers

In HERAUSFORDERUNG projects, teachers support students in implementing their self-directed projects by acting as learning facilitators - a role that is often new and unfamiliar to them. The CorrelAid team analyzes how this experience affects teachers' mindsets, teaching practices, and collaboration with colleagues. To do so, the team applies appropriate statistical methods to data collected from interviews with around 35 participating teachers as well as a control group. The results are documented in a report with data visualizations and clear interpretation guides. The insights help *HERAUSFORDERUNG einfach machen* to further develop the project based on evidence, and to demonstrate its impact to funding partners.

The nonprofit social enterprise HERAUSFORDERUNG einfach machen is dedicated to firmly establishing experiential learning outside the classroom within the German school system. As an independent youth welfare organization, it supports schools in fully integrating the “Herausforderung” project into their curriculum. The approach focuses on a holistic educational model that fosters students’ potential through hands-on experience. The team provides schools with continuous support throughout the process, from initial planning and staff training to the final evaluation. Through this professional framework, the organization aims to expand the project nationwide and support the overall development of schools.
