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.

The edited volume for the 9th SYM, “Socio-emotional and cognitive development in learning: Educational goals in competition?!” has been published.

This volume examines the question of whether the central educational goals of promoting cognitive development on the one hand and socio-emotional development on the other are in conflict, or whether they can support each other under certain conditions. For a long time, research and teaching have focused strongly on cognitive development, with the aim of equipping all learners with basic academic competencies. However, the (intentional) fostering of socio-emotional aspects is becoming increasingly important.This book discusses the compatibility of these two educational goals from various disciplinary perspectives. The contributors are internationally selected experts from Germany, Switzerland, and the United States.

The free availability of the e-book edition of this publication was made possible by the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space, the “Specialised Information Service for Educational Science and Research (FID)”, and a network of scientific institutions and libraries promoting open access in the educational sciences.

Many thanks to Anne C. Frenzel, Thomas Götz, Sara Rimm-Kaufman, Florian Schmiedek, Ricarda Steinmayr, Elsbeth Stern, and Carmen Zurbriggen for their contributions.
