Welcome to the Department of Educational Science with a focus on inclusion-oriented diagnostics!

Team

Scientific Research

We deal with questions of diagnostics and support in the context of school inclusion. The work in our multi-professional team (including special education, sociology, educational science, psychotherapy) enables a multi-perspective view of different research subjects.

team retreat 2026

During the 2026 team retreat in Kassel, the full team met to review ongoing work and spark new initiatives. The intensive discussions and shared time on site strengthened team spirit and set important impulses for the months ahead.

symposium and poster presentation at the Pacific Coast Research Conference

At the Pacific Coast Research Conference (February 4–6), Timo Lüke, together with Christine A. Espin (Leiden University, Netherlands) and Moritz Börnert-Ringleb (Leibniz University Hannover), presented the symposium “Bridging the Assessment-to-Instruction Gap: Insights from International Research.”
The symposium showcased findings from a workshop held in the Netherlands in June, focusing on key challenges and potential solutions for linking assessment and instruction. Particular attention was given to the design of assessments, the analysis of student progress data, and the effective use of this data to inform teaching.

In addition, Timo Lüke presented a poster titled “Implementing Inclusive Education: Testing Transfer Models of Teacher Training.”
