Professor Aileen Edele presents research program

In view of the fact that in Germany, every third student in grade nine has a migration background, Professor Aileen Edele’s research focuses on “opportunities and challenges of cultural diversity in schools”. She introduced her research program to an interested audience at the IFS. In her research, she engages in individual learning conditions, e.g. language skills, and in aspects of the learning context, e.g. teacher beliefs or a democratic school climate. The research is aimed to find answers to the question how teaching and learning can succeed (even) better in an immigration society.
