On July 4, 2025, we will host the 10th SYM on the topic of “Education in Transition: Between Technological Innovation and Social Responsibility”.

Save the date now for the 10th Dortmund Symposium on Empirical Educational Research on July 4, 2025: “Education in Transition: Between Technological Innovation and Social Responsibility” with keynote speeches by Professor Aladin El-Mafaalani from TU Dortmund University and Professor Nikole Rummel from Ruhr University Bochum.

In recent years, the education system has increasingly been faced with major social challenges that require a profound change in established educational practices within schools. In particular, technological progress and growing social heterogeneity are fundamentally changing the demands on teaching and didactics and at the same time opening up new opportunities for innovative teaching and learning processes.

The symposium will explore key questions in various lecture and discussion formats: To what extent does heterogeneity in the classroom pose a challenge for the use of digital technologies? How can digital technologies support teaching in heterogeneous learning groups? Which pedagogical practices and digital technologies can contribute to promoting collaborative learning and social cohesion? How can it be ensured that all students have equal access to digital technologies and resources?

More information about the program and the possibility to register will follow soon!
