Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Methodical competence refers to the knowledge, skills, and abilities that enable teachers to plan, or-ganize, and deliver instruction effectively. The study aims to identify strategies to enhance methodical com-petence of Computer Science teachers and address the challenges faced by teachers in developing and apply-ing this competence.Through a comprehensive review of existing literature and an analysis of empirical stud-ies, this article provides insights into the content and components of methodical competence. It highlights the importance of goal setting, content selection, instructional strategies, assessment methods, and adaptability as key aspects of methodical competence.Based on the findings, the article proposes various strategies and in-terventions to enhance methodical competence, including professional development programs, mentorship, collaborative lesson planning, and reflective practice. These strategies aim to empower teachers to develop and apply effective instructional practices, resulting in improved student engagement and learning outcomes.Overall, this article emphasizes the importance of methodical competence in teaching and provides valuable insights and recommendations for educators, teacher trainers, and policymakers to promote effective teaching practices and enhance the overall quality of education.
