GeKiSch
This project analyses the importance of low-threshold schooling and learning opportunities in initial reception centres in Hesse for the development, learning and integration process of children and adolescents. The aim is to identify the psychosocial needs of children in the developmental phase of school age and ultimately the challenges for educational practice in the school context and to formulate recommendations for policy and practice.
GeoChild
In diesem Projekt soll der Frage nachgegangen werden, wie grundlegende geometrische Fähigkeiten (z.B. das Erkennen und Kategorisieren geometrischer Figuren oder die Navigation im Raum) im Kindergartenalltag gefördert werden können und welche Lernvoraussetzungen hierfür von Vorteil sind.
GIDeCA
GIDeCA assessed biological and psychosocial family-related influences on the ability to delay rewards and on risky decision-making behavior in children with different ADHD symptoms.

GUIDEPREP
The Europe-wide project ‘Growing Up in Digital Europe’ (GUIDE) analyses the success factors for the development of well-being in a digital world. Over a period of about 25 years, two birth cohorts (infants and school-age children) and their parents will be systematically surveyed. The upstream project GUIDEPREP (‘GUIDE Preparatory Phase’) will develop the necessary research infrastructure for the GUIDE panel between 2022 and 2026.
Hate Crime
The project Hate Crime explores bias-motivated violence from an interdisciplinary perspective (law, ethics and psychology).
Hector
Hector Children’s Academies are extracurricular institutions that offer support to gifted children under the age of ten; they endorse a holistic approach. The aim of the project is a scientific monitoring of the support program. This includes the support of the implementation, the evaluation of the courses offered and the investigation of related scientific questions.
IGEL
The project IGEL aims at evaluating three different teaching approaches (scaffolding instructional discourse, formative assessment, and peer-assisted learning) in primary school science education.
iLearn
This project evaluates the potential of computerized formative assessment to support reading acquisition of children with reading difficulties. Formative assessment enables teachers to adapt their teaching methods to the individual learning progress of their students.
INCLASS
The INCLASS project is developing an application-oriented set of tools for the inclusion of autistic children: a training platform for teachers, a self-assessment tool for the (self-)evaluation of competences in teaching children on the autism spectrum and a smartphone app for the identification of individual barriers.
