Field of research

digitalchemlab - Design, implementation and evaluation of digitally differentiated learning modules for the school laboratory

The project "digitalchemlab - digital and differentiated in the school laboratory" is funded by the Joachim Herz Foundation.

Main research areas

  • Digital (basic) skills of students
  • Student laboratory research (motivation, learning success)
  • Differentiation matrix as a method for inclusive science lessons
  • Interactive eBooks and iPads in chemistry lessons
  • Development of digitally differentiated learning modules

Funding from the Joachim Herz Foundation (€15,000) for the research project "digitalchemlab - digital and differentiated in the school laboratory"
