Projects
PROfessio
PROfessio investigates language teacher’s competencies and the process of professionalization regarding their knowledge and practice in the area of language training.
ProFix
Some students read literary texts as if they were expository texts: limiting themselves to extracting bits of information, without immersing themselves into textworlds or responding affectively or aesthetically to the texts. We call this a “limitation to the propositional textbase”. In our ProFix study, we are working with 400 students from Germany and Switzerland and try to understand who is afflicted by this phenomenon.
Proliefs
The project Proliefs focuses on teachers’ beliefs as one important aspect of teachers’ professional competence that influences their instructional behavior.
PROM3THEUS
This collaborative project will design and implement a series of events for early career researchers in empirical educational research. The three planned interdisciplinary conferences on the triad of theory, methodology and practice transfer will be complemented by a peer and mentoring programme.
PROMPT
The PROMPT project is developing an evidence-based, child-friendly prototype of a learning planner application to support students in self-regulated learning with digital media. The final version of the prototype will be made freely available for widespread use.
PuS-SeL
The PuS-SeL project investigates components, influencing factors and approaches to promote self-regulation in primary school children’s learning.
RABE 2
The RABE 2 project investigates the persistence and psychosocial consequences of learning difficulties in school from primary school to early adulthood. The study focuses on the risks and effects of learning difficulties, but also looks at the resources of those affected.
ReAL
The project ReAL examines the development of children’s reading and calculation skills over the course of elementary school, using a combination of behavioral and neurophysiological (EEG, MRI) measures.
ReKi
Resilience represents a theoretically important factor in talent development. We investigate this relation by using a diary study in which (particularly gifted) primary school children report how they experience stress and how they cope with it.
ReLari
The ReLari project investigates the relationship between children’s and adolescents’ relative age and their learning performance in the school context.
