International activities at the IFS
The connection to the international scientific community is of great strategic importance for the IFS. Thus, the IFS is anchored in top national and international research. Furthermore, scientists regularly publish their research results in English-language journals or present them at international conferences. In addition, the institute regularly hosts visiting scholars; on the one hand, staff members spend research stays abroad, and on the other hand, guest lecturers from abroad come to the institute for research stays, project exchanges or guest lectures. Finally, the area of teaching at the institute is also characterized by its international orientation, as there are, for example, teaching concepts for the implementation of intercultural education in teacher training.

"Stereotype Threat in the Classroom" was the topic of the third session of the IFS lecture series "What's new in educational research? Multidisciplinary Perspectives on research projects in empirical educational research". Professor Karen Phalet (KU Leuven) presented two studies and explained how stereotype threat works in achievement situations and how interventions can reduce stereotype threat effects. Sabrina König and Dr. Justine Stang-Rabrig then presented results from the DFG-funded project on stereotype threat, which focuses on the influence of stereotypes in vocabulary learning situations. The presentation content as well as implications for research and practice were finally discussed in the plenary session.
