2. To what extent can existing model from the field of Medical Education be transferred to Educational Science?

3. Which cognitive requirements relate to the competence of argumentation with evidence?

KOMAPRE is funded by the BMBF and it will be completed in collaboration with Prof. Cornelia Gräsel (Wuppertal) and Prof. Martin Fischer (Medical Education, LMU Munich).
