Interested students can write an assignment in one of our offered subject areas. The chair covers a wide range of topics of research on teaching, educational psychology, teachers’ professionalism or comparative education. If you are interested in teaching quality, modern teaching settings, self-centred cognition or teachers' convictions, diagnostics in daily school life, individual differences in students' performance and personality or teaching in different cultural environments, you are welcome to present your idea to us. Furthermore, you are can also write a thesis with a focus on methodological approaches. At our chair, we focus on video-based teaching research as well as high-frequency measures.

Writing an assignment is a great undertaking and starts by choosing an interesting topic, with which you want to devote yourself for a longer period of time. With pleasure, we advise and inspire you in your choice of topic. We recommend that you contact us early on.

Internal internships at our chair are aimed at master and bachelor students of Education and the subdiscipline Pedagogics/Psychology. On request, students of the MSc Psychology can complete an internship at our chair as well.

You are also welcome to use an internship as preparation for later work without a course (written assignments, bachelor's or master's thesis).
