Research projects

GenAI@schools

This project examines how secondary school students in Germany and Luxembourg engage with Generative AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) in classroom settings. The research aims to uncover the opportunities, challenges, and ethical implications of AI-assisted learning, informing future educational policies and teaching practices (in collaboration with Hochschule Bielefeld, HSBI).

EICEL

The Effects and Impulses of COVID-19 on and for Learning in Luxembourg (EICEL) study analyses the pandemic’s impact on teaching and learning processes. Drawing from data collected from over 2,000 secondary students, 500 teachers, and nearly 1,800 guardians, the project identifies effective digital teaching strategies. The findings contribute to teacher training initiatives and the development of sustainable digital education frameworks at national and European levels (in collaboration with Dominic Harion).

TUTS (with Marianne Milmeister)

The Tablet Use in Secondary Schools (TUTS) project investigates how digital devices influence learning experiences in Luxembourg’s secondary schools. Based on data from more than 5,000 seventh-grade students and insights from teachers and policymakers, the study explores the pedagogical benefits and challenges of tablet integration in the classroom (in collaboration with Marianne Milmeister).
