In the area of teaching, a broad participation in training in the BA Special Education, MA Teaching Training for Grammar Schools, MA Special Needs Education and MA Educational Sciences programmes is expected.

In research, the professorship should investigate teaching-learning processes in school contexts (especially in secondary education) and be interested in one or more areas of students' motivational, cognitive and/or self-regulatory abilities. In addition, psychological processes in the digital learning space should be part of the research.
