Dr. Heppt has accepted the professorship for "Empirical Educational Research in Primary and Secondary Education" and will start at the IFS in July.
Following her appointment at TU Dortmund University, Dr. Birgit Heppt will take up the professorship "Empirical Educational Research in Primary and Secondary Education" at the IFS in July. Dr. Heppt is moving to Dortmund from the Institute for Educational Quality Improvement (IQB) at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. Her working group focuses on the professional skills of (prospective) teachers in dealing with linguistic and migration-related heterogeneity, the analysis of (language-supportive) teaching processes and the development of digitally supported methods for assessing learning prerequisites and progression (e.g., in the form of computer-aided learning progress assessment). Since October 2022, she has been project manager in the BMBF-funded project "Multi-professional cooperation and professionalisation for subject-related language education in all-day schooling" (KoPaS).
We are delighted about the expansion of our research spectrum and look forward to working with her!
