Munich Quantum Valley is working to develop competitive quantum computing in Bavaria. It enables researchers to share expertise across disciplines, provides educational opportunities for young scientists, and partners with industry to translate research into practice.
How will the future labor market look and are European education systems endowing the next generation with the skills they will need to succeed? These questions are at the heart of a new research project at the Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt.
Scientists, along with students, are developing new concepts for the use of digital media in education.
The SCoRE tool developed at the University of Würzburg reliably records the football skills of girls in real game situations for the first time. It is available as an app for coaches.
Elementary schools should make children fit to use digital media. A team at the University of Würzburg is developing a digital diagnostic tool to support teachers in this endeavour.
Enduring competitive pressure not only changes young people's behaviour, but also their personality: they become less prosocial. This is shown by a new study from the University of Würzburg.
Early childhood education programs neglect social skills that are important for living and working together. This is shown by a study involving the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the University of Luxembourg, which examined educational policy guidelines in more than 50 countries worldwide. The importance of children's socio-economic circumstances for educational success also plays only a subordinate role in the programs.
Significant rise in research and sustainability
Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the University of Cologne have developed an AI-based learning system that recognizes strengths and weaknesses in mathematics by tracking eye movements with a webcam to generate problem-solving hints. This enables teachers to provide significantly more children with individualized support. - First school in Germany to use eye tracking and AI in maths lessons. - Professor at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has enhanced the system with artificial intelligence. - System recognises pupils' individual strengths and weaknesses.
The majority of 15-year-olds in Germany know how to perform online searches, but lack confidence when it comes to assessing the quality of the information they find. They rate their skills in this regard at a lower level than the OECD average. They are also less likely to consider their teachers sufficiently competent to use digital media in the classroom. This was revealed in an analysis of the latest PISA study.
