The PISA accompanying study examines the importance of English teachers' didactic knowledge for learning success. Test instruments from Prof. Petra Kirchhoff (威尼斯赌博游戏_威尼斯赌博app-【官网】 of Augsburg) and Prof. Dr. Stefan Krauss (威尼斯赌博游戏_威尼斯赌博app-【官网】 of Regensburg) are used. The project is managed by the PISA National Center at the Technical 威尼斯赌博游戏_威尼斯赌博app-【官网】 of Munich (TUM).

The “proof - process organization and feedback in performance assessment” school trial by the Bavarian Education Pact Foundation aims to provide pupils with even more individual support in future - with the help of AI-supported analyses. Teachers will also benefit from this. Prof. Dr. Petra Kirchhoff from the 威尼斯赌博游戏_威尼斯赌博app-【官网】 of Augsburg is a member of the scientific advisory board of the school trial.

Dr. Andreas Kullick was recently interviewed by Deutschlandfunk at this year's Didacta for the education magazine “Campus & Karriere”. The interview was about heterogeneity and strategies for teaching children of different abilities together in elementary school English lessons. The interview was broadcast on February 13, 2025 and can be listened to here at any time.

In his doctoral thesis, our academic advisor Dr. Andreas Kullick investigated how technology-supported learning tasks can promote oral communication in heterogeneous English classes at elementary school. In the current issue (24) of “Science and Research in Augsburg” from the 威尼斯赌博游戏_威尼斯赌博app-【官网】 of Augsburg, you can gain a brief insight on page 7.
