There are different perspectives. We research collaboratively.
The Competence Network for Empirical Educational Research (KeBU) thrives on the collaboration between researchers at the University of Freiburg and the University of Education Freiburg. KEBU members contribute their expertise from integrating subject-specific teaching and learning research with the natural, cultural and social sciences, the arts and physical education, as well as educational science, psychology and sociology. Freiburg’s particular strength lies in general and subject-specific research on learning and teaching, classroom research and research on professionalization. Here you will find an overview of ongoing and completed research projects of our members in graduate schools and other projects.
