Empirical Educational Research
Teachers are the key players in the success of schools with their teaching programmes. Above all, the professional competence of teachers plays a decisive role in the quality of teaching and learning at school. An evidence-based understanding of the (causal) interplay between teaching-learning processes on the one hand and the professionalism of teachers, both in training and in the teaching profession, on the other, is therefore an elementary idea for the quality development of schools.
Based on a broad understanding of empiricism, the doctoral programme Empirical Educational Research investigates current subject-specific and subject-independent questions about modelling, recording, genesis, development and impact of both the development of teaching and the development of professional competence of (prospective) teachers.
