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.
VokSi
Vocabulary learning is easier when the learner is active, either by making a prediction about the possible translation of the foreign word, or by making gestures at the same time. The aim of this project was to investigate these learning activities in more detail and to look more closely at the effects of their interaction.
TAM
Our aim is to investigate the developmental trajectories of cognitive and motor adaptation across childhood, adolescence, young adulthood and old age. We have developed a new task that has proven to be appropriate and sensitive for investigating developmental and individual differences within specific age groups. Our aim is to identify moderators, both cognitive and social, that may explain differences in cognitive and motor adaptability between individuals. This could improve our understanding of how to identify groups at risk of learning difficulties. The results of this study have the potential to motivate future research into interventions and prevention strategies aimed at facilitating the adaptation of individuals to their environment.
Stereo-no-GO
The Stereo-no-GO project investigates gender and background inequalities in STEM and participation in gifted education programmes.
Stereo-Disk
The project analyses the significance of stereotypes for the quality of support-related diagnostics in the inclusive school context and develops support formats that reduce their influence.
ScriVo
The ScriVo (lat. scribere and lat. vocali) project investigates whether there is a relationship between the auditory discrimination skills of primary school children with German as a second language for long and short vowels in German and their written language skills, in particular when writing elongation graphs (to mark long vowels) and double consonants (after short vowels).
Rocket
The Rocket project investigates the relationships between orthographic knowledge and individual reading and spelling development in German-speaking second graders. The project will also investigate other relevant predictors of written language acquisition, such as phonological awareness, auditory memory and naming speed. The planned longitudinal analysis will contribute to a better understanding of the role of orthographic knowledge in the development of reading and spelling performance.
Resilience
The Resilience project aims to evaluate two mental health promotion programmes and their implementation in everyday school life. The two support programmes are implemented by multi-professional teams (school psychologists, teachers, etc.). The results of the evaluation may help to optimise the implementation of school-based prevention programmes in the future.
PuS-SeL
The PuS-SeL project investigates components, influencing factors and approaches to promote self-regulation in primary school children’s learning.
PERLE
The PERLE project is investigating whether computer-supported development of mathematics didactic competences leads to an improvement in early childhood education professionals’ ability to recognise and plan action.
