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.

Start of the online survey in the WO|GEN project on well-being, resources, challenges, and AI use among teachers

The teacher survey in the international WO|GEN project, which is being conducted in collaboration with Prof. Dr. Rebecca Collie from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) Sydney, Australia, is now open for participation. The survey is aimed at all teachers in general education schools and seeks to examine teachers’ occupational well-being and AI use, as well as the associated occupational resources and challenges that teachers experience.

Competent teachers who feel comfortable in their profession are essential for schools to function effectively and successfully. However, due to the varying demands of their profession, teachers are among the occupational groups with an increased risk of experiencing occupational stress and strain. Rapid technological developments, for example in the field of generative AI, can offer relief on the one hand, but also bring new challenges on the other.

The WO|GEN study therefore aims to identify professional resources and challenges related to teachers' well-being. In particular, it also considers the role of generative AI and examines which institutional and individual factors influence the use of these technologies in a school context.

Interested teachers can participate in the project at the following link: Study WO|GEN
