Location & approach

By car

The most convenient highway exits are on the B 1/A 40 (Dortmund-Barop) (closer to the North Campus) and on the A45 (Dortmund-Eichlinghofen). The university is signposted at both exits. In the local road network you will find signs to Campus Nord, where the Campus Treff is also located. From Emil-Figge-Strasse, entrance no. 18 and from Vogelspothsweg entrance no. 23 lead to parking spaces near the venue.

By train

From Dortmund main station, take the S-Bahn "S1" in the direction of Solingen on track 7 to the stop "Dortmund-Universität" (price level A). The S-Bahn runs every 15 minutes during peak hours on weekdays and takes about 6 minutes. From Düsseldorf, the S-Bahn runs every 30 minutes. Directly at the S-Bahn station you will find the CDI building, which houses the Center for Research on Education and School Development.

The H-Bahn

One of the university's landmarks is the H-Bahn, which has two terminuses on the North Campus. One is located directly above the S-Bahn station and is easily accessible from it by elevators. The other is located in the center of Campus North at the bridge between the University Library and the Mensa, right next to the Audimax. The H-Bahn runs from here to the South Campus and the Eichlinghofen district.

By plane

Dortmund has an airport connected with some destinations in Central Europe. There are regular flights, for example, to Amsterdam, Berlin, Dresden, Katowice, Krakow, Leipzig-Halle, London, Munich, Nuremberg, Paris, Poznan, Stuttgart, Vienna and Zurich. For the approximately 20 kilometers from the Dortmund airport to the campus, you can take the bus to the main train station and from there the S-Bahn. Faster is usually the use of a cab. Far more international flight connections are offered by the Rhine-Ruhr Airport in Düsseldorf, about 60 kilometers away, which can be reached directly by S-Bahn from the university station.

Team Heppt

Empirical Educational Research in Primary and Secondary Education

The working group conducts research on the assessment, explanation, and improvement of learning processes and is particularly concerned with the question of how students can be best supported to successfully pass through the education system under conditions of increasing heterogeneity. To this end, we use data from large-scale assessment and educational studies as well as data from field-experimental intervention studies (including video analyses).

The research of the working group can be categorised into three interlinked focal points:

1. Diagnostics and development of school-related language proficiency and domain-specific competences:
Against the backdrop of the increasing proportion of multilingual students, we deal with the assessment of language proficiency in monolingual and multilingual students, among other things. In particular, we plan to develop digital tools that are suitable for computer-aided learning progress assessment.

2. Professional competences of (prospective) teachers for dealing with a heterogeneous student body:
We focus on the beliefs and stereotypes of (prospective) teachers as well as their professional knowledge. Of particular importance here is work on the professional development of teachers and educators in the field of subject- integrated language support in all-day schools, such as in the ongoing KoPaS project.

3. Analysis and improvement of (linguistic) classroom interactions:
The guiding principle for this area of work is the question of how language learning environments should be designed and for which students they prove to be particularly effective. We are concerned with the differentiated assessment of language-promoting classroom interactions and their effects, e.g., on classroom participation or the domain-specific and language-related learning of pupils. Current work deals, for example, with the assessment of linguistic modelling techniques or the effects of language-stimulating teacher questions.
