Target group-specific curricula (NFDI4Earth Milestone MS1.3.9)

The NFDI4Earth EduTrain team is dedicated to supporting researchers in the Earth System Sciences (ESS) by providing comprehensive training resources. This report outlines the development and implementation of a tailored curriculum aimed at addressing the specific needs of the community. The curriculum development process was guided by a thorough needs assessment, identifying key challenges and requirements within the community. The resulting curriculum comprises 50 courses, primarily focused on spatial data analysis and management, with a strong emphasis on using open and reproducible methods. A modular approach was adopted to ensure flexibility and adaptability, allowing for the integration of new topics and technologies as they emerge. The courses were structured based on Bloom's taxonomy, categorizing them into cognitive levels to facilitate a clear and progressive learning pathway.Additionally, the curriculum incorporates suggestions of Open Educational Resources for each course to enrich the content. The NFDI4Earth curriculum represents a significant step towards building a robust educational framework for ESS researchers, fostering open and reproducible research practices.
