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.

On the occasion of this year's ICM conference (International Conference on Motivation), which will take place in Dresden from August 24 to 26, the IFS will be represented with several contributions. A symposium on "Do teachers' motivations, emotions, and self-regulation matter for students' educational outcomes?" was organized by the IFS itself, and another on "Gender, ethnic/ migration background and their intersection in students' motivational beliefs" features Hanna Gaspard as a discussant. In addition, a total of four papers will be presented: Daria Benden presents her paper on "A state-trait analysis of students' expectancy-value beliefs about math versus specific math tasks", Annika Koch lectures on "Motivation and perspective-specific versus common teacher-student ratings of instructional quality", Inga ten Hagen addresses "A latent-difference-score analysis of student- vs. teacher-rated student motivation across domains" and Luise von Keyserlingk presents results on "College students' motivation and goal-oriented behavior: Integrating two motivation theories". Finally, Fani Lauermann, Hanna Gaspard and Charlotte Dignath will moderate the Oxford-style Debate on "How to best investigate the interplay among motivation, emotion and metacognition in learning and instruction". The IFS wishes you an exciting conference!
