We are excited to welcome Melike Ömerogullari as a Senior Teaching and Research Assistant to our team. We wish her a good start!
Good teaching has many faces and is no coincidence. Together with the Menon Group AG, we are currently developing a scientifically sound, modern, and user-friendly tool for determining and developing the quality of teaching with the help of INSULA. We are delighted that the Mercator Foundation Switzerland is supporting us in this endeavor. With our new tool, teachers can obtain the opinions of students, peers, and school administrators and they can reflect on and further develop the quality of their teaching in a targeted manner – free of charge and user-friendly. Are you interested? Get in touch with us and be among the first to test the tool from November 2024. You can reach us at the following e-mail addresses: wida.rogh@ife.uzh.ch info@menon.group
Our team wishes you a successful start of the semester and many insightful, exciting and enriching moments for the coming time.
We are delighted that Patricia Naber, Natalie Palffy and Birgit Amrein have joined our team as student assistants and project assistants. Welcome aboard!

Free Access to special issues related to COVID-19
Due to the significant disruption associated with the COVID-19 pandemic many researchers have difficulty in accessing academic journals, which is usually tied to institutional availability and not easily accessible from home offices. Springer is therefore providing one month open access (3rd to 31st October 2020) to specific special issues of ZDM Mathematics Education.
Editors Prof. Dr. Anna-Katharina Praetorius and Charalambos Y. Charalambous have published a special issue on instructional quality. Researchers from different fields have developed different frameworks and associated observational instruments to capture instructional quality. As this work is fast accumulating, the need to explore synergies and complementarities among existing work on instruction and its quality becomes imperative. Thus, this special issue presents the work of 11 groups using 12 different frameworks. In their papers, overviews of the conceptualizations and reliability and validity issues of the frameworks are given and results of the analysis are presented. The final paper synthesizes this work and suggests future steps in continuing working more synergistically.
Wida Wemmer-Rogh is on maternity leave. We wish her all the best and are looking forward to welcoming her back into the team.
In April of this year, our senior assistant Vanda Sieber conducted an interesting study on the COVID-19 related transition to online teaching. The study deals with different questions concerning the motivation and well-being of students and lecturers. A report gives information about first results. The report was recently mentioned in an article of the NZZ am Sonntag on the unusual start of the semester at the University of Zurich. Within the project, various master theses will be realized and several publications are planned.

On the 14th of June, the workshop "Triangulation Unterricht" based on the research project with the same name took place at the Humboldt-Universität Berlin. The workshop was organized by the two participating research teams from Berlin (consisting of Malte Brinkmann and Martin Weber-Spanknebel) and Zurich (consisting of Anna-Katharina Praetorius and Wida Rogh). The other invited representatives were Nicole Balzer (Münster), Jörg Dinkelaker (Halle/Saale), Thilo Kleickmann (Kiel), Eckhard Klieme (Frankfurt), Robert Kreitz (Chemnitz), Christine Pauli (Fribourg) and Kurt Reusser (Zurich).
The project "Triangulation Unterricht (Tri-U)" deals with the topic "Teaching Processes in German Mathematics Teaching" with different methodological approaches. These methodological questions are focused with a special emphasis on the topic of "cognitive activation".
The workshop was very productive, much discussion took place and new methodological approaches could be developed on the basis of the video material.
Prof. Dr. Benjamin Fauth of the University of Tübingen gave an interesting presentation on the 15th of May with the title Zum Verhältnis von Unterrichtsqualität und professioneller Kompetenz: Gute Lehrkraft = guter Unterricht?. More information can be found under Guest Lectures.
