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.

A decisive factor for the quality of teaching is how mistakes are dealt with. It is known that the error climate has an influence on how pupils deal with their errors, learning and performance. What remains unclear is what impact the error climate has on the student-teacher relationship.
The article "Error climate and alienation from teachers: A longitudinal analysis in primary school" by Gabriele Steuer, Alyssa L. Grecu and Julia Mori addresses this research gap and explores the relationship between the error climate and alienation from teachers.
Hierarchical linear models were determined based on data from primary school pupils in the fifth and sixth grades from Luxembourg (N=345) and the Swiss canton of Bern (N=406).
The results show that a positive error climate leads to a reduction in alienation from teachers. This effect was found at both individual and class level. These findings emphasize the need to establish a good error climate in the classroom.
