Children’s Worlds
An international study of material, social, and cultural conditions of a good life and opportunities of education and participation from children’s and youth’s point of view.
META-EF TRAIN
The project investigates the effects of metacognitive executive function training in children from low socioeconomic backgrounds with an emphasis on transfer to academic abilities. Children are recruited in Germany and the UK to ensure greater generalizability. We focus on two age groups (4-6 vs. 8-10 years) to examine whether there is a developmentally sensitive period for cognitive training interventions.
Attitudes and Actions of Parents and Professionals
The study examines from an educational and socio-scientific perspective the attitudes held by parents and educators at early childhood education and care (ECEC) facilities and primary schools, as well as their underlying beliefs and interactions. The focus is on processes found at the intersection of families and educational institutions that give rise to, reinforce or reduce educational inequalities.
ReLari
The ReLari project investigates the relationship between children’s and adolescents’ relative age and their learning performance in the school context.
UfEBB
The project UfEBB focuses on the education of under-three-years-old and the unequal conditions for development.

Pro KiEl
The Pro KiEl project targets an assessment of the effectiveness as well as underlying general and differential mechanisms of a family support programme. Findings from this evaluation study will be fundamental to the recommendation of interventions required by immigrant children and their parents regarding equitable participation in education.
RifA
The project is focused on the question what makes a childhood shaped by poverty particularly vulnerable. The research interest aims to the questions if children are different effected by vulnerability and transgression than adults as well as how the spatial-structured conditions of the growing up of children have an influence on it.
