Abstract

Currently I am working as a research assistant (post-doc) at the chair of school pedagogy in the primary sector. My area of responsibility includes teaching in the study programme for primary school teachers as well as in the Master Professionalisation of Early Childhood Education, the coordination of individual module and state examinations and the organisation of the doctoral colloquium. In addition, I am doing research on the topic of "Individualisation of educational process support in the pre-school year" within the framework of my habilitation, and in the project "Research meets kindergarten" I am engaged in the further development of research ethical standards in early/childhood pedagogical research.

I was able to successfully complete my doctorate in 2015 on the subject of "Competence-oriented performance measurements in educator training in the Free State of Saxony". It was supported by an ESF grant for a state innovation doctorate of the Free State of Saxony.

My research activities are focused on two areas: On the one hand, I am concerned with the professionalisation and competence development of pedagogical staff in the aspects of educational process support and the related diagnostics of childhood education and development processes. This includes competence modelling and measurement. It also addresses the question of how educational processes in the non-family, early childhood care context can be individualised. One focus is the transition from nursery to primary school.

On the other hand, I deal with research ethics as part of the professionalisation of (young) scientists in childhood pedagogy and in the field of primary school research.

In both research areas, I am interested in combining qualitative and quantitative methods (including online surveys, group interviews, document analysis).
