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.

Article "Voluntary E-Learning Exercises Support Students in Mastering Statistics" von Jakob Schwerter and Taiga Brahm published in journal

Schwerter, J., Brahm, T. (2024). Voluntary E-Learning Exercises Support Students in Mastering Statistics. Technology, Knowledge and Learning https://doi.org/10.1007/s10758-023-09714-1

In this article, Jakob Schwerter and Taiga Brahm analyse the challenges faced by students in statistics lectures. They show how e-learning exercises with automated feedback can help the students. The study is based on interviews with 67 bachelor students of social sciences and the analysis uses, among other things, a causal machine learning method. The results suggest that these exercises improve exam performance, especially during the semester, but also shortly before the exam. Finally, the paper discusses how these findings can influence the literature on e-learning in higher education.
