One promising approach is the concept of predictive coding, which posits that the brain functions like a prediction machine; internal models in the brain predict future states against which incoming […]
PREDICT
This project evaluates the potential of predictions generated by students to improve their learning. Further, it investigates the mechanisms that determine its success and asks whether there are age-related differences in its effectiveness.
PRISMA
Working memory is central to school learning and is shaped by teacher–child relationships. Previous research has mainly focused on differences between children, although performance and relationships also vary substantially within the same child. Our project examines how these daily fluctuations affect short-term learning and long-term developmental pathways.
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.
PROfessio
PROfessio investigates language teacher’s competencies and the process of professionalization regarding their knowledge and practice in the area of language training.
Proliefs
The project Proliefs focuses on teachers’ beliefs as one important aspect of teachers’ professional competence that influences their instructional behavior.
