Research on learning and instruction serves the theory-based description, explanation and optimization of learning and instruction processes mostly in institutionalized learning situations. It is not a narrowly defined discipline, but combines theories and research approaches of educational psychology and instructional psychology with those of empirical educational research and various subject didactics. However, the focus always remains on the interaction between teachers and learners and thus on the persons involved. Effects of institutions or educational systems are taken up insofar as they significantly influence this interaction between persons. Research on learning and instruction uses empirical methods to test its models and theories.
The research group of research on learning and instruction combines expertise in psychology and education. In research and teaching, we focus on cognitive and motivational conditions of learning and teaching. One focus is on the area of cross-curricular competencies. On part of the learners, this includes skills for self-regulated learning, learning with new media, and problem solving. On part of the teachers, this includes general pedagogical skills.
