CHAT2TRANSITION
The project examines the emergence and consequences of educational decisions at the transition from primary to secondary school. It focuses on improving the information available to families and teachers. A multilingual chat assistant for families and a reflection program for teachers aim to reduce social and migration-related inequalities in educational outcomes.
MoMoView
The aim of the project is to investigate individual differences in visual perception and memory for scenes, in particular how people of different ages remember previously viewed scenes and how gaze patterns differ between viewing and recalling scenes.
TeWiPrax
In the TeWiPrax project, researchers and teachers from the group „Sprachförderung/Mehrsprachigkeit“ of the “Campusschulen” program collaboratively develop and test materials that support secondary school students in understanding scientific texts. A particular focus is on academic and subject-specific vocabulary.
LeITEr
Within the LeITEr project, a school-based intervention for fourth and fifth graders is being developed and evaluated that combines the teaching of reading strategies with strategies for regulating emotions and motivation.
SOGREV
Restrictions on contact and curfews during the coronavirus pandemic meant that children and young people had much less opportunity to socialise. This quickly led to a complete lack of social contact with peers, especially for children and young people from socially disadvantaged backgrounds who were denied access to state institutions such as nurseries or schools […]
Wirk-BRISE
The sub-project of the second project phase (2025–2029) in the BiEn department at DIPF is dedicated to the effects of the early childhood support chain on the development of basic skills in reading, spelling and arithmetic over the course of the primary school years.
MaLeLiOS
The MaLeLiOS project aims to investigate how narratively designed mathematical learning situations encourage children to engage in mathematical conversations and thus enable them to listen and observe on the one hand and to talk about mathematics and mathematical activities on the other.
Young Children’s Worlds
This project will develop a questionnaire to quantitatively assess the well-being of children between the ages of 6 and 8. The study will be conducted in parallel in South Africa and Israel.
ViolAA
The project uses different methodological approaches (experimental vignette studies, ambulatory assessment and behavioural observations) to investigate teachers’ reactions to student misbehaviour at school.
Strive-Up
The project examines the ideas parents of 6-10 year old children have about their child’s future social status (desire to maintain status vs. desire for upward mobility). We analyse to what extent the desire to maintain status vs. the desire for upward mobility differs according to socio-economic status (SES) and migration background, and what role this desire for status plays in parents’ educational aspirations and in the educational decisions made by families.
